Those who know me well would not be at all surprised that this morning there was nowhere else I would rather be than listening to my own pastor, Tope Koleoso. Lex Loizedes was very warm in his introduction to my leader and dear friend. Tope began by reading some verses on Exodus 25. He said he was planning to speak on The importance of prayer The place of worship Preaching The importance of prayer The atmosphere you are in when... Read more
As this is such a historic evening, I decided I would at least attempt to live blog. How you live blog a prayer meeting and worship party is a challenge! I cant really capture the amazing sense of celebration that was there. But it was in this massive sense of jubilation and faith that we united to storm the heavens. Lee Yarborough who leads the team based in Mexico led us in praying for Latin America. We prayed first for... Read more
Terry explained that he felt God say to him that for this session he should “Just sit down and talk to them.” He explained that he had been looking at the last part of Hebrews, and it was good stuff but it wasn’t coming into a sermon form. He felt God said to him “what would you like to stay at this historic moment?” As Ginny prophesied tonight would be “a coming of age party” for Newfrontiers. So Terry wanted... Read more
Gideon is instructed by God to lead God’s army, but he is having doubts. Two key stories. Gideon tests God out. He is not convinced, he is nervous. He saw the mighty army that you couldn’t count and it seemed too much for him. He wanted proof that God was with him. It is easy to be quick to speak of his unbelief and cowardice. But the commentator is writing that in a study, it is not really fair! You... Read more
This morning I attended one of the training tracks where my friend Steve Tibbert was speaking. Steve has recently written a book, Good to Grow about what God has done in King’s Church Catford. He explained that in his view how we build structures and programs around the gospel is critical. Structures themselves will not bring growth and breakthrough. It is God that brings life. God is the only person who can save someone. You will get ideas here, but... Read more
Terry began by speaking about his own book, Spirit-Filled Church, having first made the point that there are also many books in the bookstore here that he recommends that are written by writers outside our movement. Bob Roberts, Ed Stetzer, and many other names familiar to readers of the blog are represented here. Terry preached on Hebrews 12 once more. You can download the audio, or read my notes here: We saw yesterday what it means to get started in... Read more
@groveslu said "If word for yesterday at #TOAM11 was Courage, what is word for today?" in Mobilise it was "fear"! in reply to groveslu # Read more
David Stroud explained that he would not be preaching as such this session but instead sharing his heart for the future of Newfrontiers here in the UK. You can download the audio or read my notes here: He began by saying how grateful he was to be part of this family of churches. We left churches because of nostalgia. So we don’t want to do that. But, there is a difference between nostalgia and gratitude. He explained that he went... Read more
Today I decided to smuggle myself into the first of the Mobilise session. Mobilise is a confernece within a conference. They attend most of the main sessions of TOAM but have their own main times and seminars as well. I understand that Mobilise will continue although the parent conference will not. Having enjoyed my time at Mobilise USA earlier in the year, I suspected I was in for a treat. I was right. The worship was powerful, and included an... Read more
Nigel announced to the conference yesterday that tomorrow evening there is a free session which is open for all to come and attend. It will be a historic moment as the new apostolic spheres are prayed for by thousands and commissioned. It will be a fantastic time. We warmly invite you whether you are part of the Newfrontiers family or not. If you can get here, please do! Many are planning to come, and it will be well worth your... Read more
