God's herald's announcement

We (the Cornerstone Missional Community in Orange) have really enjoyed the Challenge of Jesus; an "immersive experience" of 4 Shabbats (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset) focusing on the life of Jesus. In reflecting on them, especially no. 4, I am currently stating my overall attitude or direction while involved in the challenge of Jesus, as something like this:

  • trying "not to tell people" (other than the herald's announcement, unless it is a story), so much, as trying to maximize participants' experience of personal discovery.


(the herald's announcement:

The ancient prophecies of the  

Maker of this Universe ruling it, well, 

through Humanity, are in process of being fulfilled.

Jesus of Nazareth, has been picked and christened as the first full expression, 

the highest pinnacle, and now the accessing agent of that rule!

If you are on his side, drop your own 

methods  and your own agendas,  

use your hands and head like his.

... There are repercussions to  

your actions, or inactions.)


  • flexibility and responsiveness firstly to the spirit of God, and secondly to the actual people sent to us by God; their present aims, hopes, moods, capacities, and life situations).


Just wanted to get your thoughts on the herald's announcement above. This is the best I can come up with at the moment for unchurched people from the West. But I'm keen to do better, if possible. All points could be drawn out more if people are interested & willing to go further. The first & second point could even be made into one. Any thoughts or suggestions from your angle? I'd appreciate any feedback you can throw in, for thinking and planning for further "events" like this, and just living life as a herald of the new (old) King.         You should be able to comment below.        Thanks.
