  others and sent them two by two ahead of him to
  every town and place where he was about to go.

  invite us into their homes

Principle 3 We are to join what the Father is
doing

• Organic Church by Neil Cole
• The good soil (Matthew 131-23 The Parable of the
  4 Soils) is most likely the drunk down the
  street, or whoever is destitute, as opposed to
  what we usually think in terms of appearance
• Remember its the upside down Kingdom

Principle 4 Giving and Receiving

• We have a responsibility to tithe, give and share
  what we have for the work of the Kingdom.
• Our problem is that we dont believe there is
  enough.

• Am I being held back from that because of the
  fear of a lack of resources?

  out in whatever degree of faith we have.
