Ears to Hear

With Gary VanderPol on February 27, 2012
When I was a youth pastor in my early 20s, a student approached me after I had just finished a sermon. With an amused smile on her face, she triumphantly informed me, “You said the word ‘like’ 47 times in that sermon!” And on her notes she had the tally marks to prove it. I was so embarrassed by this eighth grader’s keen attentiveness to my verbal tics that I successfully eliminated the word ‘like’ from my preaching thereafter.

Generosity and Justice

By Amy Sherman, Ph.D on February 22, 2012
Williamson County, TN is one of America’s richest 25 counties. It’s also the home of Fellowship Bible Church, an evangelical congregation of 2000+ members, which began with four key core values: worship, community, growth, and service. Not surprisingly given its context and unique assets, it has added generosity to that list. This has led to a dramatic increase in congregational giving, which has made possible hundreds of thousands of dollars in Kingdom investments with partner ministries in the developing world. Today many of Fellowship’s members are characterized by the radical generosity of time and money that Tim Keller argues is “one of the marks of living justly.”

The Power of Weakness

Puritan Prayers for Preaching

With Arthur Bennett on September 24, 2010
MY MASTER GOD, I am desired to preach today, but go weak and needy to my task; Yet I long that people might be edified with divine truth, that an honest testimony might be borne for thee; Give me assistance in preaching and prayer, with heart uplifted for grace and unction.
