Speaker: Dan Winkler

 

Exegesis: To glean out of the scriptures what is actually said

Logos: the word

• The rhyme and reason of things
• To Greeks held everything together

 

Matthew - The plan of God

Mark - the power of Jesus

Luke - Jesus involving himself with other people

John - the other gospel, totally different, say this is God's son

 

John 1

Prologue of book

Preparation of Jesus' ministry from John the Baptist

Dan's Goal: realize how special Jesus is

 

We place a lot of attention on the church and particulars on becoming members.

But do we place a lot of attention on Christ?

Let people hear about the church of Christ and the Christ of the church!

We have to buck the world's thoughts of church of Christ as a denomination

Young people need to fall deeply in love with Christ properly, not just memorize
