This thursday we’re kicking off our summer gatherings and our study of C.J. Mahaney’s book, Living the Cross-Centered Life.  I’m stoked about going through this book – it’s going to be a great encouragement and help in our attempt to live out the gospel everyday.  If you’re free on Thursday nights, join us for some fellowship and discussion.  And if that’s not enough to hook you, the Carley’s are hosting us this week and they’ve offered to feed us.  So be at their house promptly at 6:30, or the food might disappear quick!  (For directions to their house, follow this link).

This Thursday we will start back with (sola)s – 7 p.m. at the east campus.  To kick of the year we will spend a few weeks looking at the cross of Christ.  What was really accomplished by Jesus’ death?  Was the cross the only possible way?  How does understanding the cross help us in everyday life?  We will deal with these and other questions as we examine the atonement.  This should be an awesome time of worship and encouragement as we focus on the gospel.

To go along with our study, there are a few resources I’d suggest to you:

Death by Love, by Mark Driscoll – This book is awesome!  I’m in the middle of reading it right now.

The Cross of Christ, by John Stott – This is a very helpful and good book on what Jesus’ death on the cross accomplished.  

Christ on the Cross, Mark Driscoll audio sermons – access these at marshillchurch.org; search: cross
