God’s Love & The Reality Of Hell
Jared Moore has put together some resources by Don Carson on the difficult doctrine of the love of God here. Although his context is American Southern Baptists it is a topic that is pertinent for all believers. The topic of God’s love and His wrath is just so important in a ministry like ours. Real people are going to a real hell. Jared writes: The wrath of God…
A Foretaste Of Heaven In 57 Seconds
This is an older video but I have to say that when I was at the 2012 event it was incredible to be in a stadium with 9000 (mainly) men and women singing hymns to the glory of God. It was an amazingly powerful and emotional experience. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eSYSa8mm10&feature=youtu.be] Bob Kauflin makes some interesting points about worship at the…

The problem we have in housing schemes is contextualising material written for a largely middle class demographic. However, if you can think on your feet and are able to work hard at this,…

Pastor as the Chief Fundraiser!
Darrin Patrick gives a lecture on what it means to raise funds for planting a church. His advice, ‘go and learn from somebody for a coupe of years. Shut up and work.’ Nice. Listen to what he has to say here.
Reflections on Chicago’s Gospel Coalition Conference 2011
I just spent a week in the ‘windy city’ so called (according to R Kent Hughes) because its politicians of long ago were infamous for their long, drawn out speeches and not (as I had thought) because it was simply windy (which it was)! Anyway, during my time there I was privileged to…
