In week 3 of our series ONE PRAYER at RVC we talked about Gospel Community. There is a fantastic book by Tim Chester and Steve Timmis called Total Church. Total Church discusses a radical reshaping that needs to take place in the church around Gospel and Community. It is hands down the best book I have [...]

This Sunday I am running the Mother’s Day Marathon here in London. It’s both scary and exciting! I’ve got my Ipod loaded and my goal is to finish… haha.. I would actually like to finish in four hours. Mainly because I want to have Mother’s Day lunch with my mom and family. Tomorrow at EMG [...]
Faithfulness
April 28, 2008
We had a great weekend leading worship and sharing at the Outpour Weekend at FTL. It was lots of fun. I was thinking about the very first retreat I ministered at just outside of London a few years ago. We took a band from EMG and I spoke. It was good times but there were [...]
Outreach: Department or Culture?
April 25, 2008

Balanced Evangelism
February 1, 2008
There are so many different theories on EVANGELSIM and how to share your faith. There are two general sides to the theology behind evangelism. First, there are those who lobby for making Christ look attractive. I’m currently reading the book UN Christian by David Kinnaman from the Barna Group. It is true that there are many [...]
Small Group Community: Does it work?
January 25, 2008
It’s a question many are asking. “Do small groups really work? Are small groups worth it in church life? Is it a biblical model? Is it what the church should look like?” I’ve been in a number of small groups in the past and it seems that the effectiveness of a small group comes down [...]
Do Christians Get On Your Nerves?
January 25, 2008
I like Ed Stetzer. He was interviewed on CNN after he did some research on Christians. Here’s how it went.
