Missional Communities in the Suburbs & Cities

A friend of mine referred me to Jonathon Dodson’s message on Missional Communities.  I listened to it today and he had some great philosophical and practical insights into building thriving Gospel centered communities.  Not a small group, not a sunday school class…a whole different way of enjoying people with Jesus.  Check it out!

An Old Pastor’s Wisdom

By paddy1mac · Comments (0)

I love and greatly value wisdom from older Saints.  I love to see an older Saint who has walked a long time with Jesus and continues to do so with great joy and anticipation.  There have been several of them in my life and I have always deeply valued what they had to share.  Here is another Saints bit of simple wisdom – http://ow.ly/QhgX
