I\u2019ve watched a number of David Platt\u2019s Secret Church sessions and this has been the case each time, no matter the particular topic. \u00a0Because of watching these teaching sessions, I have a more comprehensive understanding of how God is the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament and the God of today. I highly recommend taking advantage of the opportunity to participate in this experience on Good Friday, March 29, at Christ Community!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>From Jonathan Berry:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The whole idea of Secret Church seems completely counter-cultural. \u00a0In a time where technology allows people to fit sermons and studies perfectly into ever-busier days, having a six-hour Bible study on a Friday night calls us to set ourselves aside and intentionally, intensively seek God through His Word. \u00a0When we gathered for Secret Church last year, we didn&#8217;t witness a big spectacle. \u00a0We worshiped with several hymns, and then with Pastor David Platt&#8217;s guidance, we spent about 6 hours in Biblical study and prayer, seeking to understand more about Suffering. \u00a0This year, we&#8217;ll be doing the same thing, but exploring Heaven, Hell, and the End of the World. \u00a0There won&#8217;t be a large production, but there will be a community of people desperate to understand what God has revealed about His plans and desiring to follow Him better. There will be deep and powerful Biblical teaching, and there will be time to marvel at God&#8217;s glory and the plans he has to spread it across the Earth. \u00a0And in case staying up until 1 A.M. seems impossible, there will be coffee. \u00a0I hope you&#8217;ll be willing to set aside one night and come join us in seeing and savoring the wisdom and glory of God on March 29!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:100px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"http:\/\/christcommunitychurch.com\/blog\/2013\/03\/04\/secret-church-march-29\/\" send=\"true\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"25\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"recommend\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During this year&#8217;s Holy Week (the week before Easter Sunday), we will have a service on Maundy Thursday and Secret Church on Good Friday.
