Christ & Culture #4 - Caleb Nicholes.

The Relevant model engages the world through humble service like Jesus while avoiding the extreme of cultural syncretism.    

This series will deal with the relationship between Jesus Christ and the world and describe how  the church can best engage the culture that surrounds them.

Discussion Questions

1. Ps Caleb spoke about three people groups in Casey/Frankston: Aussie battlers, Rich young families and the 1st/2nd generation migrants. How best is Jesus made relevant and accessible to each group? In which ways is the Gospel often communicated poorly to these groups?

2. Read Luke 14:12-14 – List ways the Discover congregation could improve their invite to the unchurched, the poor, the irreligious into our community?

3. How does being a culturally relevant church worry you? In what ways is the Gospel or the Bible misrepresented if the church over-caters to the world?
