Preparing for our Sunday Gathering, 7/11/10

We will gather at Shatto Recreation Center, 3191 W. 4th St, Los Angeles, 90020 from 10am to 12pm and then we'll have lunch together.

Prepare to be encouraged by praying for the church and seek the Lord's will as to who you will intentionally encourage and bless this week or when we gather on Sunday (Hebrews 10.24-25).

We'll be thinking about the mission of the local church. Prepare to hear the Word preached by reading, reflecting, and praying over:

• Matthew 16.13-20
• Matthew 18.15-20
• Matthew 26.26-29 (with Luke 22.14-20 and 1 Corinthians 11.17-34)
• Matthew 28.16-20

Also ready your ESV Study Bible notes on these passages (or a commentary or the MacArthur Study Bible).

Read this portion of Jonathan Leeman's article that really gets at the heart of the mission of the local church.

You can email questions or thoughts on the passages to me directly (pj@crossviewchurchla.org) or leave a comment on this blog.
