The first day of our Church Planting Conference offered many highlights:
- We’re learning Chris Anderson’s song, “For the Sake of His Name” (sheet music | mp3). It is full of memorable thoughts and motivations to pray for the gospel to advance.
- Brad Baugham and Matt LaCava sang, “By Faith,” in the morning worship service.
- Brad preached on the power and authority of the risen Christ from Psalm 2.
- Tim Lovegrove and Eric True took us on a fifteen minute tour of the Inland Empire and the Greater Los Angeles area. On our “drive,” we drove past millions and millions of people who need to hear of Christ.
- In the evening service Tim exhorted us that the only way for Christ to be magnified in our lives is for our lives not to be about us (John 3:30).
Today has many more opportunities for you:
- Brad will give a devotional this morning at 10:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall.
- Sarah Elkin and Becky Baugham follow with perspectives on church planting from the perspective of a pastor’s wife.
- We will gather to pray for church planting.
- Lunch is available in the Fellowship Hall for just $3.
- Eric Sipe will lead a discussion on church planting at 1:00 p.m.
- A churchwide dinner begins at 5:45 p.m.
- At 7:00 p.m. Todd Davis will update us on what God is doing at Redeemer Bible Church in Brighton, CO. Jonathan Matias, pastor of Grace Church of Alexandria, will preach this evening’s message.
Hope to see you there!
