A Return To Spring In Kentucky
Tuesday, March 27th, 2007 Back home from Seattle. We arrived home and found spring in Kentucky. I love spring in Kentucky!
Long, but uneventful trip home. Jet-lag- not good. I really enjoyed time spent with Jeremy and Shane. They are both my good friends and brothers and they share a passion for the Gospel and what God is doing with The Point. [...]
Saturday In Seattle

Shane is posting some good photos of the church facility here and [...]

Lost In Seattle
Thursday, March 22nd, 2007 We have spent most of our time sitting in conferences at Mars Hill Church. Too much of time has been spent driving around endlessly lost in a city that is difficult to navigate. Ofcourse, being three manly men, we are hesitant to ask for directions.
After dinner tonight, we went to the Seattle Spaceneedle which offers [...]

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007Developing Elders, Deacons and Members – Mark Driscoll

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007LEADING THE MISSION
Key Assumptions:
We are called to the same corporate mission:
Matthew 28:18-20. This is our only motivation. This is not open to debate. People are not allowed to lead if they don’t get this.
John 20:21
We are called to similar personal mission: Jesus, Paul and John laid out their personal expressions of similar mission.
We are to [...]
Day two of the Acts 29 Bootcamp - session 3
Thursday, March 22nd, 2007Keep in mind that my notes are RAW. I will clean these up as I have time.
———-
“Biblical Missiology”
The medium is the message.
The expression of the church that we develop is a demonstration of our theology.
Our medium can only be the Gospel.
What we do when we gather should match what we do when we scatter. Our [...]

Some of the highlights from my notes from Steve Timmis, a church plant strategist from the United [...]
