Message for April 3 - opening thoughts

Hey guys, what are your thoughts on the following...

I love the idea of redemption of time, but its a bit broad and I feel like that's sort of the theme for the whole series, we just didn't cover free time. But something I'm not sure we covered was jobs in the future (correct me if I'm wrong). I could cover a bit of that... but then focus in on God being here and now and wanting to be part of our lives. He empowers and centers our lives. It sort of segues into "God is" as well. Let me know your thoughts

Youth Access

I was thinking guys... maybe we shouldn't let the youth view the blog. There is some value in letting them see the process, but I think it might take away from the purpose of the blog. The goal is for us to work on these messages and be critical and experimental and throw stuff out there. If we know the kids are reading this, it actually limits how candid we'll be.

What do you all think?

Opening Post

Hey Straightforward Staff! Here is the new CBC Straightforward Blog. The primary purpose of this blog is for speakers to discuss upcoming messages, but of course, we can use this for any sort of discussion pertaining to youth group (and prayer requests and other stuff too I'd say).

But basically, it is the task of every speaker for the upcoming week to post an outline of their message by the time they go to bed on Tuesday night. Then all speakers and anyone who wants to can comment on what's being developed. (Speakers must do this by Wednesday before sleeping). This can help facilitate awareness of the subject for the upcoming Friday.

I'll be speaking this Friday so Tuesday will be the first message post

Any one in youth group can view this, so please let them know if they're interested. I'm only allowing you guys to comment, but if someone in Straightforward needs posting privileges they can request it

Thanks
Brett
