The MD blog has been quiet

We've been rather quiet online.

In the mean time these are some of the things we've been up to recently:

Our regular Bible study on Saturday (anyone is welcome)
We were @ Carnivore during the Spread the Love Gospel Festival featuring Kirk Franklin on Sep 12 2009
Sex in the Temple (On the road) @ Athi River DCF on Sept 19

We are intending to do a worship concert in the very near future, featuring MD's favourite worship songs.

Bidding farewell to our Brother Hawk

Hawkins Busuru (aka Hawk) went to be with the Lord last weekend after a tragic road accident. It is something that has shocked his family and friends alike, but we trust that God will comfort us.

This is a message from Richie:

We have a funds drive today (Wednesday 6th May) at 5pm at the professional centre. we intend to raise 120,000 shillings to aid the family of Hawk. You can send your donations through MPESA line 0717523334. Please respond as the Lord leads!

Also, please spread the news around.

Hawkins was a member of AIC Ngong Road and MISSION DRIVEN. He passed away in a fatal road accident on Sunday Morning. He went to be with the LORD!!!!!!!

Hawk was also involved as a youth leader at Parklands Baptist

Planning

MD has been rather quiet over the last couple of weeks... But bible study has been going on. 

This April we shall be visiting Karura Community Chapel and ICC. 

We also intend to go for a day long retreat over easter to spend sometime reviewing the last year and spending some time seeking God's direction as we plan our activities and make important decisions.

Bible Study - Sexuality, Honoring God In Marriage and Singleness

 

Bible Study 1 Corinthians 7:1-40

1. In what ways have your views on marriage, sex or singleness been influenced by society and/or the Church?

 

 

Read 1 Corinthians 7:1-40

2. What issues did the Corinthians need Paul to address? What areas were they struggling with?

 

 

3. How do you think immorality affected the way Corinthian men and women related to each other? v. 2-5.  How does immorality affect us today?

 

 

4. How does Paul view marriage and singleness? v. 6 – 7.

 

 

5. Why does Paul say that it is “better to marry, than to burn with passion?” v. 9

 

 

- How can the lack of self-control lead you to make an unwise decision to marry   prematurely?

 

 

6. Have you experienced any pressure to be married? How does knowing that this world is passing away help you to be more content in your current state? v. 29-31 Explain.

 

 

7. Why do you think Paul considers singleness a “better” way even though he fully affirms marriage? v.38

 

 

8. In what ways would you like to be more devoted to the things of the Lord? Can you identify things that might be a distraction?

 

 

9. How has this study challenged you to prepare for marriage? What things will you consider before you marry?

Sex in the Temple II - How it went down

Mission Driven Ministry in conjunction with Sankofa Student Ministry held a one day conference on Saturday 13^th December at AIC Ngong Road in Nairobi. The conference was dubbed ‘Sex in the Temple II’. The first such conference was held about two years ago at the same venue, and many people had requested a repeat of it. 

About 50 people in total took part. The day started with some music by Mission Driven (In Search of the Truth, All that) – songs that will hopefully be released as part of MDs second album sometimes next year. This was followed by some icebreakers so as to allow people to know each other. After this the conference started proper with some praise and worship and then MD did the theme song for the conference – Sex in the Church. This song is to be released hopefully over the next week. 

There was then a period of small group bible study (a copy of the bible study material used is available here.) 

A hefty lunch was then served as people interacted. 

After lunch, MD did another song – Is He the King – and Curtis Reed spoke for about an hour on the subject. 

Some extracts:

 The male and the female, the husband and the wife model between Christ and the Church. 

The world knows what sex represents – a model for the sacred. The world, instead of sex being about the Sacred, is about a car, or a beer or any other product – in other words – sex sells.

 The world is under a spell (Rev 17-18) and is under the Babylonian system. According to Rev 17-18, when the system collapses, the saddest people on earth when system collapses will be merchants (or business people).

Musicians ‘cast a spell’ and one needs to be careful about what they listen to.

A more detailed summary is available here.

There was a period of almost about one hour after this where people now shared with everyone else about their experiences and weaknesses. It was a really powerful time, as no one felt condemned – if anything people left encouraged.

MD and Sankofa Student Ministry will probably hold a third edition of this conference next year.

Meanwhile watch out for MDs brand new release – Sex in The Church which should be hitting the airwaves before year end.
