On Sunday, June 13, Steve Lutz visited University Bible Fellowship and delivered a sermon titled Made for Mission based on Jeremiah 29:4-14. This passage is a letter that the prophet Jeremiah wrote to the Jewish exiles in Babylon. Instead of telling them to oppose the idolatrous Babylonian culture, he gave them advice that seemed counterintuitive: “Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper” (Jer 29:7).
Steve is a full-time campus minister for CCO at Penn State who specializes in reaching out to students who are culturally distant from Christianity. Steve has been successful in forming relationships with these students and engaging them in Bible study in interesting ways and nontraditional places. He maintains a blogsite called the SENTintel where he posts articles and materials on missional campus ministry. He is also the founder of Commontary, a free online Bible commentary with user-contributed content.
Steve’s message runs about 45 minutes. We have broken up the video into five segments of about nine minutes each. Here is the first segment:

i think it is a great idea to network with other christian groups and learn from them. Dr. Ben and I attended an atheists groups meeting a few times and it was a good experience – though I have to say it challenged me to get out of my box.
