Men! Beginning June 9th and continuing each Wednesday (except for the 1st Wednesday due to Theology Pub) we will be meeting at Wild Boar Coffee at 8pm to go through Mark Driscoll’s latest book – Doctrine. It’s a systematic theology book put into readable and yet provocative language. This will be a great time of learning, laughing, and living life with one another.

Video of Theology Pub Event

Ryan — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 20:05:52 +0000

Earlier this month Missio Dei hosted an event, as part of our monthly Theology Pub, where we discussed the Biblical position on marijuana. It was a fascinating discussion that was not only provocative but challenging and fruitful. There were over 50 people at the event, many of whom did not share our worldview, but left pleasantly surprised as to how the discussion was led. If you weren’t able to attend the event we have provided some video footage of the discussion that can be accessed here.

Join us next month for Theology Pub as we discuss the Biblical position on homosexuality.

Helping Haiti

Ryan — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:58:08 +0000

With the recent devastation in Haiti many people are wondering how they can help.

Acts 29 and several other churches and groups have partnered to form a foundation, called churches helping churches, to help the churches in Haiti, so that they can in turn give aid to the people in their congregations and communities.

If you are looking for a reputable ministry to help the victims in Haiti, where you can be assured that the funds will be used in a Christ honoring and effective manner, we highly recommend this resource.

Gospel Focused

Ryan — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 10:26:12 +0000

It is our desire at Missio Dei to be “gospel focused.” In fact on Sunday night during my teaching through Nehemiah 1, I made this statement, “the gospel must pervade everything we do, both personally and corporately.”

What does that mean?

This article written by Jeremy Carr of The Resurgence blog should help clarify my point.

Here is an excerpt as well…

We Gospel Because We’ve Been Gospeled

What if we do not see these instructions merely as commands to follow, but rather reflections of how we as a gospel community display the work of Christ? We gospel because we’ve been gospeled:

We love one another (John 13:34, 1 John 3:11) because God is love (1 John 4:8).
We fellowship with one another (1 John 1:7) because of the Trinitarian fellowship of our God (2 Cor. 13:14)
We forgive one another (Eph. 4:32) as God in Christ forgave us (Eph. 4:32).
We accept one another (Rom. 15:7) because we’re accepted by God in Christ (1 Peter 2:5).
We serve one another (1 Peter 4:10) as Jesus came to serve and give his life as our ransom (Mark 10:45).
We teach one another (Col. 3:16) because Jesus is the true word of God incarnate (John 1:14).
We are patient with one another (Eph. 4:2) because God’s kindness and patience leads to repentance (Rom. 2:4).
We bear one another’s burdens (Gal. 6:2) as Christ Jesus bore our griefs and transgressions (Is. 53:4).
We pray for one another (James 5:16) as Christ did for us (John 17) and continues to do (Rom. 8:34).
We submit to one another (Eph. 5:21) as Jesus submitted to the will of the Father (Phil. 2).
We encourage one another and build one another up (1 Thess. 5:11) just as Jesus builds his church (Matt. 16:18).

Do we see the gospel as something we do or as something we expect others to do for us? Do we understand that to gospel we must first be gospeled? May we be obedient to gospel one another as a display of Christ Jesus’ gospeling of us.

Being Missional

Ryan — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 05:33:36 +0000

At Missio Dei our heart is to engage the city with the gospel. We desire to take the timeless truths of God’s Word (text) to those we are rubbing shoulders with on a daily basis (context) in a timely way that will speak into their current life situations. This is what it means to live on mission (or to be missional) with our missionary God who stepped out of His context taking on human flesh and giving Himself as a ransom for our Sin.

Here is an article with some practical tips on living missionally instead of selfishly.

Here are a few ways you can be on mission right here in Fort Collins -

1. Volunteer to give intoxicated college students a ride home – RamRide

2. Volunteer for Make a Difference Day (October 19-24). Missio Dei is going to volunteer as a community on Thursday the 22nd from 4-7pm.

3. Serve the homeless at The Open Door Mission
