Oxygen session 8
(rough notes)
Show Christ
My enjoyment of Him is the means in which I most glorify Him.
God has given us a mind to find the right views of Him through a book.
There isn’t anything better than fullness of Joy forever.
A worker with you for your Joy.
Who cares about the world? That is a horrible inference from the talks given.
How does embracing the truth not produce indifference...

Preaching Christ
Colossians 1:15-20
15 He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation.
16 For everything was created by Him,
in heaven and on earth,
the visible and the invisible,
whether thrones or dominions
or rulers or authorities—
all things have been created through Him and for Him.
17 He is before all things,
and by Him all...

(rough notes)
There is a vast importance in using our minds in the service of God. Not failing to serve God with all our mind, heart, soul and strength.

Think Christ
Matthew 24:34-40 - 34 When the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they came together. 35 And one of them, an expert in the law, asked a question to test Him: 36 “Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest?”

God’s passion for Our Joy in Christ
Our joy rises as His glory is lifted up. In the same way, His glory rises in our delight in Him.
God is most glorified in you when you are most satisfied in Him.

The Church in the 21st Century world
(rough notes needing to be cleared up)
The church is under attack, not only from the outside but also from the inside.
There is always a real side to ministry. Often there is a mask. It is discouraging. This is a vast problem, there is an undermining of faith in the Christian message such that people get weary and tired and are tempted to give up.

The world view project
A lot of my time in the past couple of weeks has been spent going through a book by James Sire entitled “The universe next door”. It raises a lot of questions, and particularly in the context of Swinburne University, within a lecture and even a tutorial or lab, there are bound to be many different world views that people hold to.
“The world view project” is an analysis of...
