This Week @ DV8 – Don’t Know Much about History

Beginning this Wednesday night, December 3, at 7:00 p.m., we will be looking at the life of Christ from Luke’s gospel.

Join us and bring a friend!

Acts 20:24

Why Do People REALLY Reject the Bible?

When asked about the authority of the Bible, there are 5 very common objections that people raise:

* it’s too old

* there are too many translations

* it has errors

* too many authors

* it’s too exclusive

Maybe you’ve heard these, or even wondered about
them yourself.  For the next two weeks at DV8, we’ll be watching a DVD from Worldview Academy, called “The Seven Habits of High Suppressive People”.

Join Bill Jack and Rusty Carter as they interview people on a college campus, and explore these 5 objections to the authority of the Bible, and also reveal in their interviews what the REAL root problem is.  Don’t miss this short series at DV8, and be a real friend, and find someone to bring with you!

No DV8 on Nov. 5

We’ll be getting ready
for Disciple Now on Nov. 5,
so we won’t have DV8 that night.

There is a Disciple Now info meeting
for students and parents, Sunday night
Nov. 2, in the Livingston Room after the evening service.  You’ll get the schedule, details about DNOW, and find out
where your host home is.

At DV8: Underground Reality

A MISSION TO SMUGGLE BIBLES.
A JOURNEY THAT WOULD
CHANGE THEIR LIVES.

What happens when eight ordinary teens set out on a mission to meet the underground church in Vietnam?  Travel with The Voice of the Martyrs and a group of American and Australian teenagers as they journey through cities and jungles in order to witness the everyday life of the Vietnamese underground church.

Documented in four episodes, Underground Reality highlights every step of this incredible journey
that ultimately asks,
“How far are you willing to go for your faith?”

October 8th & 15th *  7:00 to 8:30

DV8 Wrap-Up for Sept. 10th

James 3:1-12 deals with our speech, and the fact that it is a clear indicator of our own spiritual health (see James 1:26).  The tongue, though a small part of the body, has great power to wound and even destroy.  It is like fire, which can both benefit and kill, depending on how it’s controlled.

We all have not only found ourselves in trouble because of words we have spoken, but have been on the receiving end of words that wounded us, and though they do heal over time, these wounds never completely go away.  This should make us more careful about the words we speak.

Harsh words, gossip, lying, and outbursts of anger have no place in the life of a follower of Jesus.  But the words are only a symptom of the condition of the heart.  When we develop deep roots in God’s Word and abide with Him daily, and also remind ourselves of the gospel – that God granted us mercy instead of justice, based on the work of Christ at the cross of Calvary – the result is an overflow from our heart that will “impart grace to the hearers” (Eph. 4:29).

This video, “For Those Who Have Been Hurt by Words”, features Paul Tripp, who will be speaking at the Desiring God National Conference later this month.
