The
Asbury Fellowship Class will start Barbarians:
A Call Into Uncharted Faith On
Sunday September 12th, 2010 Life is not a script. Yet we find ourselves time and again
searching not for truth or life or adventure, but formula-something with a
manual and easy-to-use instructions written in plain English. Over the past two
thousand years, Christianity has moved from a tribe of renegades to a religion
of conformists. To belong to God is, in fact, to belong to his heart. To belong
to the original tribe meant total self-abandonment in favor of a willingness to
follow the order: "Forward march!" The original believer would seem barbaric by
the standards most believers are measured by today. The barbarian fights for
his or her king with everything that lies within. They have little patience for
position, for religion, for bureaucracy, for institutions. They are not looking
for a script; rather, they are looking to act. They may seem uncivilized to
lovers of religion, but in reality their positions only represent a quality of
"soldout-ness" for the one true King, Jesus Christ. Barbarians are not
paralyzed by fear nor do they look for someone else to fight for them. The barbarian
has accepted the call to fight for his or her king with reckless abandon. Join us any Sunday morning at 9:30am. Click here for our current schedule.
