We have been utilizing table groups to encourage discussion and application in our Sunday morning AM/SM Gathering with our students. We position our leaders among the five tables that I have set up in Studio 7o7 and then we allow the students to gravitate toward a table organically. The discussion typically flows from a common theme that I (or one of of leaders) generates through a video or a skit. Yesterday I decided to utilize a series of videos from Vintage 21 that have been around for a few years.

Vintage 21 is a church in Raleigh, North Carolina where they not only encourage “doubters” with a kind nod… but they actually advertise them as their target market within the context of their mission statement and their objective. Here’s what they say about these amazingly classic vidz that they created on their website…

“In the Spring of 2003, Vintage21 had a four week series on Jesus Christ, taking a deep look at what He said and did. It was difficult at times to get past our preconceived notions that had been developed by staunch, starched Sunday School classes of old. This is a satirical look at what some people think Jesus is like. Thank goodness He’s not.”

If you have not seen these videos… take a moment to watch them… and prepare to laugh your face off. I have also uploaded the DQ that I created for our leaders to utilize at their tables yesterday. Feel free to download it (from this link: Vintage21 - Jesus Videos DQ) and steal these discussion questions with a reckless abandon!

You can view the videos from their website HERE…
