How Many Disciples Did Jesus Have?

Last night before bed we did our usual reading from the children’s Bible, prayer, and song.

Adoption Posts Worth Reading

Dan Cruver just started a great series on The Importance of Adoption within the Story of Redemption (Part 1)

Dwell Urban Church Planting Conference

Keeping the Global in Missional

My good friend Jonathan Dodson wrote another great article for Acts29. His thoughts on what it means to ‘missional’ are very helpful and provide a needed balance and expansion of the term. Click on the link below:

For the past few months I’ve had the privilege of being apart of a discipleship group at my church with four other men and one of the pastors. We meet every two weeks and go through doctrine and practical leadership material. This week we read a chapter from ‘Spiritual Leadership’ by Henry Blackaby. His study [...]

Great Tunes

I had found Semper Reformanda Records awhile back through Drew Goodmanson’s blog but just revisited it and haven’t been able to stop listening to all the sample tracks they have on there. Go to ‘artists’ and download them all!
