Judgement Day this Thursday at the Cohort!


Thursday, January 6 the Cohort will explore the theological category of judgement. This is an extension of our Second COming conversation last month and promises to be great.

Christianity's historic creeds proclaim that Jesus will return to "judge the living and the dead", but what exactly does that mean? How one defines judgement will determine what kind of "good news" Jesus return means. Furthermore, how does Jesus judgement intersect with his teachings "not to judge lest you be judged yourself" and how do missional Christians hold all these things together?
We'll explore all this and more this Thursday at the Saucer. See you there!

Directions and times are below. Call you lunch orders in by 10:30 if you're able.
11:30-1:00pm at the Flying Saucer in the Pool Room:
11 10th Ave. South

Return of the King! This Thursday at the Cohort


Advent greetings all,
The Nashville cohort returns for this Thursday, December 2 at the Flying Saucer for a conversation that will take us back to the future;)

Advent is a season of the church year dedicated to the Second Coming of Christ. As such, the Cohort is going to explore this most diversely interpreted doctrine by asking, "What are the missional implications of Christ's second coming in our day?" "Does it matter anymore and if it does matter, why?"

To avoid the conversation devolving into an eschatological pissing match I want to offer any of you who have particular views on the second coming to email them to me so I can present them for "missional evaluation on Thursday. This way everyone gets heard and we can have a constructive conversation about something that even Jesus warns not to get too fussy about.

Directions and times are below. Call you lunch orders in by 10:30 if you're able.
11:30-1:00pm at the Flying Saucer in the Pool Room:
11 10th Ave. South
(Located Behind Union Station)
Nashville, TN 37203

Peace,
Dixon

The Cohort gets Foolish this Thursday


The Nashville cohort returns October 7 for another installment in our series, "The Hard Words of Jesus and postmodern interpretation".

This week we wrestle with the implications of Jesus' parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21).
If you can, read it here first and think about what implications are for Christians seeking to do the justice of God in a world of greed.

Peace,
D
