UMCom will be offering an online course to supplement the book. Additionally, Rethink Church’s Change the World event in May will tie into Vital. Rethink Church will also offer a free sermon series for congregations with impactful ideas to practice faithfulness and increase fruitfulness.

With God’s help, we will..

Matt is pastor of the The Village Church in Texas and has spirit driven insight into the gospel “on the ground” (mission), and the “gospel in the air” (eschatology) , and how the two are best balanced in congregations.

In a world that is hurting; we sometimes think God is not listening. When we here of the little ways that God’s servants are bringing light to a dark world…we see help one person/problem at a time. We need to listen for the small moments of grace; not those huge miracles to see God’s hand in everything good around us. Thanks be to God!

To read about Jesus and then be Christ-like in all we do is a greater thing to do! To show God’s unfailing love to all through our actions, not our filled bookshelves is the highest calling. I recently posted on Facebook: God loves you – not did – not will – He loves you RIGHT NOW! How we show that love to others is our choice but He gave us the perfect example in His son. Today, in Joelton, we celebrate the opening of our new expanded Hope Center, hoping to reach more with God’s love through provision of food, counsel, clothing and friendship. Two of my sons, working in Brazil (shoresofgrace.com) spread His love to prostitutes, transvestites, the poor and rescuing children from sex trafficking. They take sandwiches, cookies, art supplies, music and even nail polish (the girls love having their nails done) to the streets and sit down with the homeless – because they are their friends. They listen, they share and they pray with these precious ones and watch how God loves them.

Keep up the good work spreading the Good News, Bishop!
