For many of us, each day is display of controlled chaos that leaves us wishing for more time to spend doing the things we love. Like watch more Star...
It’s my turn to write on the missional communities uk blog. This is what I came up with. The post finishes with a question that I’ll ask over here too.
How do you include kids and youth in your missional community?
Thinking about the stories of Jesus, the leper and the centurion from Matthew 8.
Wherever Jesus went people were loved and suffering was defeated.
Seems that is what he trained his disciples to do as well.
Who are you calling me to love?
Where are you calling me to destroy evil?
Give me strength and courage God.
I love Mike Breen’s books so it is exciting to see that they have just been released in ibook and kindle versions. I’ve linked to the kindle versions but you can also find them in the Ibook store.
I have found 2 particularly helpful:
Covenant and Kingdom is an overview of the bible that follows the two threads of Covenant and Kingdom all the way through. Reading it is just like listening to Mike preach and brings many of the stories and characters to life in new ways. His teaching on these two themes has been one of the most useful things I’ve encountered over the past few years, helping resolve so many of those tricky questions I’ve wanted to ask the bible as I’ve picked it up and illuminating what it means to have a relationship with the God who is my loving Father and the ruling King.
Building a Disipling Culture I would call essential reading for anyone interested in learning how to help others become followers, disciples and missionaries of Jesus. I love this stuff. I’ve not yet read the new version - will be downloading it soon - and am looking forward to new material on leading huddles.
Go get!
