Advice for new churches and church planters

Mark Driscoll on Missional Living and Church

This is something that we as CrossView need to think about and pray over and begin to implement in our lives. We discussed this in our Sunday gathering (3/22) and part of the exhortation was to watch this video and think and pray over what God is leading us to do as a community, as families, and individuals.

Who's in your relational network? What are some things you can do to spend more time with those people without adding huge blocks of time to your schedule?

Review Acts 23-24 (3-15-09)

Review of Acts 23-24 - (3-15-09) from CrossView Church on Vimeo.

The teaching this Sunday focused on the story of Acts 23-24. PJ taught that (1) we need to trust God's sovereignty for specific circumstances as we live on God's mission and (2) we must testify to the gospel in every God-given opportunity. We saw that the gospel ministry is driven by the resurrection of the just and the unjust, it is rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures (the Old Testament), and it concerns faith in Christ Jesus which included righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment. Paul was relentless because he did not count his success as how high a conversion rate on his gospelizing, but how clear and loving and often he communicated the gospel.
