Colossians 1: I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christs afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. 25 I became its servant according to Gods commission that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations but has now been revealed to his saints.

Colossians 1: To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 It is he whom we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil and struggle with all the energy that he powerfully inspires within me.

God everywhere, all the time Immanence: God in all things Transcendence: All things in God

Ruler in all Ruler over all Alpha and Omega

May Christ dwell in your hearts May you comprehend the breadth and length and height and depth To be filled with the fullness of God Ephesians 3:14-19 Christ in youYou in Christ Discipleship: Living Out the Christ Within toward the Christ Beyond

Beyond all understanding Beyond all traditions Beyond this place Implications: a. Walk humbly with God beyond, into the unknown b. Everything human needs redemption, should move toward transcendence

Within all things, everywhere, all the time. Implication: We need to look for God, especially where we least (Matt 25) expect. Within ourselves, among others, especially in our engagement with the least of these.

Our purpose as Christ-followers is to live out the Christ within toward the Christ beyond. Implication: We need disciplines that align our selves to and live out – to incarnate - the Truth, the Way, the Life.

Personally

Communally Centering

Expanding

Awareness : Who am I in God? What is God doing here/now? To what are we being called? Intention : To what will we commit? Participation : How will we respond?

Generic definition of Incarnation : Embodying the immaterial; enacting the invisible. Emotions Ideas Meaning INVISIBLE visible

John MacKay: "To evangelize is so to present Christ Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit, that [all people] shall come to put their trust in God through [Jesus Christ], to accept Him as their Saviour, and serve Him as their King in the fellowship of His Church." "The evangelical word must become indigenous flesh." Mackay: Ecumenics, 1964

Goal: Union with Christ in the Spirit Because of pervasive sin/alienation,

Awareness of unity and alienation Raised to new life: not I but Christ who lives within Dying to sin, conforming to Christ

Leading to Live Out the Christ Within Into the Christ Beyond

Christian Ministry is always Christ-like, Spirit-filled Grounded in, sustained by spiritual disciplines Living out the Way of Jesus Christ Christian Leaders ARE the change they seek

Professionalism Doing to others what you wouldnt want done to you. Leading others in ways that are not authentic to you. Treating others as objects, instruments, for another end

John 21: Jesus asked Simon Peter, Simon son of John, do you love me more than these? Yes, Lord, he said, you know that I love you. Jesus said, Feed my lambs.

Disciplines : Awareness: Mindfulness Intention: Focus of Mind/Heart Participation: Responding personally in communion for effective Christian living.

Evocative Discipleship Evocative Discipleship: living out our call together
