Sunday morning’s sermon at Harbor stirred in me the desire for the church to be a place of reconciliation. Stephen reflected on Revelation 7:9-12 in which people of every tribe, tongue, and nation will worship Jesus on His throne in Heaven and asked us to consider if we would attempt to do the same on earth? ...2 days ago -
Clarification for my OCD Readers
the reluctant leader —
Authority: 112
It seems my last blog - "Leadership is Not Rocket Science" - was not clear. In it I mentioned Paul Barkers "5 Foundations of Productive Teams" seminar (which I called a faith-mans version of Patrick Lencionis "5 Dysfunctions of a Team" book) Then I listed the results of a Gallup poll describing the top 4 ...2 days ago -
The Role Of The Prophet
Missio Dei —
Authority: 511
I wonder if someone ever said to Isaiah or Jeremiah, “How dare you criticize the what we’re doing!” I’m serious. If ever there is a thankless job in the Ecclessia, it is the prophetic voice, the one that has the very thankless job of reminding the church, “This is not who you are.” Prophet have a ...3 days ago -

I was recently talking with a couple of pastors who are on staff at a church together. They talked glowingly about their church, and how it is a "family church," and all the things they do to lift up "family," and theyre working on making it more "family friendly" and trying to disciple the "whole family" with "family ...6 days ago -
Why Aren’t We More Missional (Pt 3)
Church Planting Novice —
Authority: 467
So far we’ve seen that God motivates us for mission with our gospel identity (missio Dei) and missional responsibility ( mandates). Another way God motivates us to mission is by giving us particular graces. These graces come in the form of spiritual gifts. All of these gifts are intended to advance the mission ...1 week ago -
Why Aren’t People More Missional? (Pt 2)
Church Planting Novice —
Authority: 467
Despite the preponderance of missional church resources, American Christians are slow to live missionally. Why is this? In our last post, we suggested that one reason is that we are motivating the church with best practices of mission, instead of an identity of mission grounded in the Missio Dei. Today, I’d like to ...1 week ago -

Authority: 467
Do you ever struggle in motivation for mission? Do you ever see your people lacking in motivation for mission? After all the shifts in ecclesiology, the planting of many churches, and the landslide of missional literature, why aren’t people more missional?
