FORM+FUNCTION Recap: Social Justice

Last week the topic of our Form+Function class was Social Justice. The second half of the class was taught by Ruthie Kim from Because Justice Matters.

Bibles, get one.

Today we mentioned getting and reading a good bible…may we suggest the following. The Cambridge Pitt Minion. A small wonderfully made bible with cross references…highly recommend. Cons: It’s pretty spendy, but you spend $200 on jeans right? The ESV Study Bible. Great for studying, it has good and reliable study notes. Cons: It’s a pretty big bible, almost bible thumper...

Letter about the Prayer Tour & Launch of RSF

Hey everyone, I just thought I would write to fill you in on the upcoming prayer tour and birth of Reality SF. Why a prayer tour? Quite simply, it is the way we are starting Reality SF. This will be our fourth prayer tour and I can honestly say, prayer works. I can fill multiple pages with all God has done since our first tour back in January of 2009. That first cold and rainy trip, we spent...

Page Street Prayer 10.4.09

Why we pray, the vision We pray because we are dependent. Jesus is the head of the Church (Col. 1:18), the chief shepherd (Pet. 5:1-4) or senior pastor of the Church. The correct understanding of Jesus as the Head of the church keeps us from taking an unhealthy ownership of the ministry and keeps us focused on being obedient to and dependent on Christ; doing everything that we do for Him. ...

Grass Roots Prayer Meeting

Reality is beginning our presence in San Francisco a little old-school (or is it old skool?). We’re starting with a prayer meeting. Just a prayer meeting. A gathering of people, normal people and maybe even some people that get a bit nervous about praying out loud, together praying for the needs of our city to a transcendent God who hears and acts. We believe that before we can radically pour our...

Dave's Notes from FM, 7.6.09

“Apart from Me you can do nothing.” -Jesus. Prayer Tour. They just keep getting better. Those who were on the tour that sense a call to move got really rocked emotionally & spiritually at some point on the trip. All part of God’s divine process. The romance is gone and realism moves in. Due to the spiritual success of the trip (both for RSF and RC) and the momentum going into the...

considering a move?

If you are praying about moving to San Francisco, start asking people to pray for you. Build a network of people you trust to start interceding for the cause. Keep them informed about the process. Tell them when you are traveling to the city. Share with them when you feel overwhelmed and attacked. Tell them how their prayers have been answered and how God has used them in the process of preparing...

Love for the City: Foundation Meeting 5/4

We cannot love the city without knowing the city’s need. Be realistic about the city. God loves the city and desires to pour out grace upon it: John 3:16, 2 Peter 3:9 The unrepentant in the city lie under the power of the evil one and the wrath of God: 1 John 5:19, Romans 1:18 Therefore it will be difficult: 1 Peter 2:12 (We are to be neither tourists nor terrorists) We cannot love the...
