From the Hill

This week I'm at the National Pastor and Staff Conference for Great Commission Association of Churches.

Here's a challenge from last night that I think is applicable to every pastor and house church leader.  

As you consider how and what you should be doing with your church God's church under your care, start with answering the following 2 questions

1. What did Jesus intend the church to be when he said, "... I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."  (Matt 16:18(

2. What did Jesus teach and build into 12 men, so that in 3 years he could turn the world over to them?

I'm looking forward to hearing others thoughts on these questions and to thinking deeply about them myself.
