Remember, the resurrection is not just for Easter. We should have Jesus’ resurrection on our lips all year round as much as the cross. The first of these two newly released videos is the first in the online study guide that we are working on right now. It would be great if you could consider getting a copy of the book and join a group of us each week as we discuss it. These weekly discussions (which are conducted via... Read more
The following sermon is by Ed Stetzer preaching at Jubilee Church. The video follows my brief notes. Engaging the culture: What does it mean for us to be on mission ? In Acts 17 Paul finds a space within the culture to proclaim the gospel. He uses this as a bridge to share Jesus. We want to avoid being stained by the world. We must not do certain things and go certain places. But it is also true that holiness... Read more
The following review was recently posted on Amazon: “I’m a pastor of a recently planted church in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. As with many other church planters down here in Latin America, I lack a formal theological education. My little Bible background was acquired through Sunday school in a classical Pentecostal church (a lot of zeal, with a lack of depth!). But, solely due to the grace of God, a deep hunger for the Word of God was always present in... Read more

The following is a guest post from Jonathan Carswell: There are some people whose life and ministry makes a huge impact. There are others who, ironically, make their mark upon death. Rev Mark Ashton was a man under God who did both. Vicar at St Andrew the Great in Cambridge for the last 16 years Mark’s teaching ministry has blessed countless 1000’s who move through the city each year. When diagnosed with inoperable cancer and given just six months to... Read more

Interesting and challenging post alert. Do you (like me) connect online mostly with other Christians? Perhaps Twitter can help us change this (and similarly Facebook where just the fact that your non-Christian friends get to see your interactions surely has to be some kind of witness, you better hope its a good one!) I should say, of course, that there is nothing worse than someone connecting with people soley for the sake of inviting them to church. Jesus would want... Read more
These are my notes from the final session of Dwell London. Ed Stetzer was the speaker. He wanted us to focus on Why not how. Tools not rules. We are in a time of transition. Many churches are frustrated. Looking for new ways, new models. We need to think biblically and culturally about how do church. Ecclesiology is the study of the church. If our ecclesiology is driven by mission, this should lead to contextually appropriate churches. Culture does matter.... Read more
A video Q and A session with Raised With Christ author is now available here: PART ONE Why did you decide to write about the resurrection? But don’t all Christians believe in the resurrection of Jesus? Do we need to mention the resurrection when we preach? PART TWO Are you saying that the cross is overemphasized? Why do Christians neglect the resurrection? Do you want us to emphasize the resurrection rather than arguing about theories of atonement? PART THREE What... Read more
