Proclaim 2019- Session 2- Teaching
One of the easiest things for teachers to do is rush to prepare. We can easily fail to put the time needed into knowing before teaching. The result is that we misrepresent God’s word. God’s word is far too important to present flippantly. Preparation is the difficult and time consuming part of this process. Today,…

Proclaim 2019- Session 1- Evangelism
I think that evangelism is one of those things that well-meaning churchy people make way more complicated that it needs to be. Evangelism simply means intentionally sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible. We are the ones who add to this great commission all sorts of burdens and requirements that…

Public Prayer in The Church Service
God’s house is to be a house of prayer (Matthew 21:13). So, in church services we try to follow that instruction by having intermittent prayer around preaching and singing and by having entire gathering times dedicated to only prayer. What place does prayer actually have in the gathering? This will be an important topic for…

How Should We Practice The Lord’s Supper?
The Lord’s Supper, or the Eucharist, is a regular part of Christian worship. As a reminder of my goal in this leadership series, I am not considering all of the theological implications of the practice.

Church Planting: Creation, The Great Commission, and The Resolution
As we saw when we considered God’s eternal mission, God’s purpose is His own glory in His creation through the exaltation of Christ and in the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit. We will always have the mandate to multiply in creation and steward creation according to the first and second chapters in Genesis. God…

Church Planting: a temporal picture of God’s eternal mission, pt. 3
Read Acts 13:2-52 The local congregation was dedicated to fasting and ministering to the Lord. This was a regular part of their worship. The Holy Spirit directed, not only the elders but the whole of the congregation, to set apart Barnabas and Saul do the work they were called to (planting churches just as the…

Church Planting: a temporal picture of God’s eternal mission, pt. 2
Read Acts 13:1 Barnabas and Saul did not spend all of their time at the church in Antioch, what had now become their home church. They were called specifically to missions work and were doing that work under the commission of the church in Antioch. When they returned from a trip on which they were…

Church Planting: a temporal picture of God’s eternal mission, pt. 1
Considering God’s mission, which is both eternal and timeless, we are drawn to think about how we get to participate in that mission while the world is in this temporary state of wretchedness. We think about church-planting, outreach, and even evangelism, and we recognize that these are all momentary works. When Christ’s work of redemption…

Is God calling you to pastor, plant, or revitalize?
What if one local church could plant 200 churches, start 100 non-profits, reach thousands of people every year and still have too small of a vision? Introduction Western business has had quite a toll on the church. Simply consider the way a corporation works and expands. That is precisely what has taken root with the…
