I'd love to see some video teaching from you. One topic off the top of my head…How does one keep worship pure? Times of soul searching…where do you go?

hey Vicky, your pictures are really good
the idea about posting videos is a good one! one thing I've been thinking about a lot lately is who am i? i know it sounds like a basic question but I'm finding it hard to answer! i heard a teaching the other day about this and its got me thinking. basically the guy said that when it says in the bible that we shouldn't make any other idols, is it because we are actually God's idols? he said that we are made in the image of God, a representation of who God is, so are we God's idols? we are image bearers but is that the same as idol? before the fall we were made perfect and in God's image. were we divine? or are we in some way, still divine now?
I just got really confused by it because I'm not a theology buff but would love to know what do you think?
The guy who spoke is called Crispin Fletcher-Louis who is director of the Westminster Theological Centre and speaks at New Wine. Our church went on a weekend away to Newquay, Devon and he spoke. Check him out, maybe you could even explain some stuff to me!
love Lucy xx

Hey Vickey,
I just found out about you and I love your song “Captivated”. It is so beautiful. You've got a new fan! =)
I think it's great that you want to go deeper in this blog. I'm going to be following it. I know that personally I am encouraged by people's stories of God's faithfulness to them. I would love to hear your testimony and what God's been doing or showing you in your life. Just a thought…
Keep following God

Hi Vicky, I’ve been following your blog and I’m looking forward to your teaching videos! Your posts are always encouraging me in my faith-thank you for sharing! I’d love to extensively study the person of Christ–what the Old and New Testament specifically say about Him and how it confirms our relationship with Him as our Savior and Lord. I got this desire recently in another bible study when we stumbled upon the question: “What does the term ‘The Son of Man’ really mean?” I’ve read it many times in the Bible but never understood it or questioned it.

Cheers

Vicky,

Nice pics, as for teaching topics what does bible picture true community from the the church in the book of Acts. Its encouraging to see your desire to dig deep in the God's Word and challenge the body of Christ. My small group is doing some of the same stuff with a new ministry regards to studying the various Christian books, bible studies and pastors messages to encourage the people at the church that I attend to grow in their walk with the Lord.

In Christ,

Nathan

Yikes... today *I'm* the one that can't sleep. I certainly could use a bit at this point!

Anyway, I love the photos; thanks for posting them! And really nice job on the edits too.

So far as teaching goes, I think that's a great idea. Of course the question of what to teach about has a lot to do with what you want to accomplish. You said, "pursuing God together." I think some topics related to the nature of God would do well toward that goal.

I've been thinking about this for the last day or two since you made this post and haven't come up with any specific questions for you yet. I'll keep thinking though. I do like Richard's idea of adding an "ask Vicky" capability or section to the blog. It wouldn't have to be limited to theological questions, and you could obviously pick and choose how many and which ones you answer. Of course, on the other hand, it could end up being too much of a distraction from what you'd like to focus on...

Hi Vicky!

I am a fellow theology student too. Here are a few ideas that I like to do hope this helps:
1) Word studies.... look at the Greek & Hebrew
ie Greek words for love: storge, philia, eros, &agape

2) mini sermons - take a passage of scripture and exegete it OR talk about what talk about life experiences and what scriptures have helped you get through it.

3) Talk about the " HARD "Philosophical questions that people have:
1) Why does God allow suffering?
2) How can a loving God send people to hell?
3) Where is God in the midst of tragedy?

If you really want to be creative you could always have an "ASK VICKI" section where you can answers the questions that people submit.
