Sunday was a big day for the 12:3C. We introduced the Duffle Bag conspiracy to the group and the response was overwhelming. The teaching was from Romans 12:1 — the second in the series (you can download the notes here) — and we talked about the setting apart of our bodies for reasonable service to God. The idea is that our mind, will, emotions and even our bodies can be useful for good. The Apostle Paul speaks of presenting your body, kind of a formal placement on the altar, as a sacrifice. But, in the view of the mercy of God, can our lives be called a sacrifice? David Livingstone in an address to student at Cambridge University called it a privilege.
Our goal for the Duffle Bag Conspiracy was to purchase and stuff 48 bags. By 2:00pm that afternoon, we had some people step forward and we ended purchasing a total of 96 bags! Now, our students at Liberty Heights are involved and another discipleship class saw what we were doing on Facebook and is planning to join in!
