Changes are afoot

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

I’ve just finished preparing a set of talks on Ecclesiology (the Church) for the regional WordPlus course next weekend, and these recent Newfrontiers developments seemed appropriate.
Most people reading this have probably already seen the links I’m going to point to, but in case you haven’t…
By way of introduction, this summer in Brighton (as it is […]

Do you care enough to pray?

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

At Grace Church recently, the topic of the day has been ‘healing’. Nick Sharp has been preaching a longer series on the power and manifestation of the Holy Spirit (archived here) and has more recently narrowed his focus done for a mini-series on praying for healing (listed near the top of the page, here).
That’s the […]

A Gutsy Gospel

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

I’ve been listening to a fair bit of Mark Driscoll again lately. This has probably been brought on by the news that he is the main speaker at Together on a Mission this summer.
Anyway, a few thoughts on the dude - none of them original.
He says offensive and shocking things. That’s his style. I find […]

Behold Your God

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

Sorry for the lack of posts or the lack of interaction in the comments on the one before this, I have a few things brewing but I’ve been really busy. I start my new job next week and I don’t currently know how much blogging I’ll be able to fit into my evening - hopefully […]

Terry Virgo

Friday, June 29th, 2007

All this week Adrian Warnock has been interviewing Terry Virgo, you can read all four parts of the interview here:
Terry Virgo: Leader of Newfrontiers
Terry Virgo on the Early Days
Terry Virgo on the Distinctives of Newfrontiers
Terry Virgo on the Future (fascinating!)
These make interesting reading if you’re wondering what Newfrontiers is about, why it looks like it […]

Happenings

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Just a quick overview of the last few weeks and why I haven’t been posting:
Last week I was at Let’s Go! This was a week of intensive street evangelism in an area of Nottingham called St Ann’s. St Ann’s is famous for its violent (especially gun related) crime, but it’s lovely: the people are warm, […]

A spot of blogspotting

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007

Luke went to the Newfrontiers Student Worker day last weekend, and presents us with a little string of posts from that:
Session 1: Tom Shaw
Session 2: Andrew Wilson
Session 3: Q&A
In ‘Book News’ you seem likely to have heard about the new book ‘Pierced For Our Transgressions‘ which is a defense of penal substitution coming out later […]

Sovereignty, Responsibility & Action Heroes

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

Last Sunday Nick preached this from Romans 10 on Divine Sovereignty and Human Responsibility.
He emailed me a little while ago to tell me he was amused by my rant on Arminianism.
Coincidence?
Probably! … Even if I did mutter to Helen about him ‘borrowing’ my phrases ;)

Deluded By Dawkins?

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

A while ago I linked to Andrew Wilson’s article on the God Delusion. He has since published this as a book, although under a different name since McGrath presumably gets precedence on title choice.
Anyway, I have just been given a signed copy of it. I personally think it’s excellent, and a good response if you […]

The Tower of Babel and Jacob’s election

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

This Sunday, Nick taught on Romans 9. I can’t imagine it’s likely to hear teaching on that passage that mentions Benny Hinn anywhere else!
Straight down-the-line, reformed exposition of election and God’s purpose in reprobation. Available online here. Other Grace Church Nottingham audio downloads are available online for a month or so after they’ve been preached […]
