SECRET CHURCH 20
Friday, April 24, 2020 - 7:00pm - 1:00am EDT
Because of Covid-19, we will not be gathering at the church building for Secret Church. Instead, we will be giving everyone a code to sign-in and watch it at home. You can watch on a phone, tablet, or computer from the comfort of your couch, wearing jim-jams.
More than one person can watch from home, but we only have 40 books, and these will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis. So, we are asking to through how many books you will need. For example, a family of five can watch from home, but maybe only three people want a book. Just request three books when you register. The same might be true of a couple. They both want to watch but only one is interested in filling in the blanks. Just request one book during registration.
Books will be delivered to your house the week of Secret Church.
This year's theme is:
GOD, GOVERNMENT, and the GOSPEL
“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities” (Romans 13:1).
But what if you don’t agree with who those authorities are and how they are governing? How does this apply to different types of governments in different parts of the world? How does this command apply to the persecuted? In summary, how should Christians relate to government? Should we gladly submit to government, work to change government, or both, or neither? And what do Christians do when they disagree about political positions and personalities, cultural concerns and challenges?
Secret Church 20 will explore how the gospel transforms the way followers of Jesus relate to governing authorities in any nation for the glory of God in all nations. The purpose of this Secret Church is definitively not to advocate for a political position, party, or candidate in any particular country. The purpose of this Secret Church is to establish biblical foundations for understanding how the character of God and the content of the gospel totally transform the way Christians relate to government.
Along the way, we will examine how these biblical foundations help Bible-believing Christians promote love and preserve unity even when we disagree on policies and politics. Ultimately, we will encourage one another to live faithfully as citizens of heaven while we’re citizens on earth.
Note: Members of Providence Bible Fellowship are given priority for registration.
All non-members who register will be placed on a standby list.
