On Sunday 6th June I am going to be preaching a little on “Making Disiples”, and we as a community can work together to spur each other on to greater Jesus-likeness. Some general thoughts: what does discipleship mean? what characteristics about Jesus discipels made them good and bad disciples and what can we learn? What practical things can we do in our community to encourage bigger and better discipleship? What things help us in our personal discipleship? Which individuals have most helped us in our discipleship? who are you helping in their discipleship?

So I want some input. This is called community preaching. You let me know what you think and my preach helps us to draw the whole community into the conversation. If you have read this leave a relevant comment … doesn’t matter what … go on - just do it!

The Future Belongs …

I was trying to think of something to write that would help those in end of year exams right now. Maybe a little exam technique, maybe deep breathing, maybe a ‘commit your ways to the Lord and he will bless and guide you’ exhortation, maybe a little on ‘don’t stress, just do your best’.

But none of those flowed. Instead why not take 10 minutes out and read these two halves of Bono’s commencement speech for the University fo Pennsylvania. Funny, ironic, risque [you'd be disappointed if it wasn't!], but hugely inspiring. By part two he is in the zone. Brilliant stuff. Read it. Live it. Let it inspire you life!!
