We’ve identified the theme of opposition in our recent study of Nehemiah, leading me to dust off an old story about this very theme. The novel is Witch Wood, a classic about two kingdoms at war: the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness.
My favorite episode of the classic Twilight Zone is “The Obsolete Man.” Burgess Meredith plays Romney Wordsworth, a life-long librarian, reader and believer in God. The totalitarian state under which Mr. Wordsworth lives has eliminated books and claims proof that God doesn’t exist. Thus, he is declared “obsolete” by the state and sentenced to “liquidation.”
In Judah it was said, “The strength of those who bear the burdens is failing. There is too much rubble. By ourselves we will not be able to rebuild the wall.” Nehemiah 4:10 My Lord and Father is good to never let me forget my first few years in pastoral ministry, of how the many walls I’d built up in my inner life regarding my calling and competency came crumbling down in those initial ...
Leaders: Though classical, westernized teaching has an important function in the church, Home Groups must be more than just lecture. As the shepherd of the group, you are rightly concerned about leading with and teaching right theology and doctrine. But that is not the only end to which we labor as group leaders. We long to see the stories, broken or incomplete, changed by the power of the gospel.

Even as we come to an understanding that reading the Word aloud is an important aspect of gospel-centered worship in our groups, many of us struggle with how this works. To help, let us walk through a few common – or not so common – questions: Do I have to sound like James Earl Jones? Please don’t. You needn’t adopt a deeper voice, Hamlet pose or British accent when reading Scripture ...
Bible reading, meditation, journaling, meaty theology books – they are crucial and quite individualistic. And while there is a place for your personal, passionate pursuit of God, the Bible was never meant to remain a solely singular endeavor. The Word of God was and has always been a community experience.
If preaching matters so much, what are we to do with the sermon in our communities? For far too long we’ve placed preaching and community in separate silos. But clear biblical proclamation must always be connected to and driving gospel-centered community. Believer, the best you have to offer the people in your daily sphere is your own passionate pursuit of God. Biblical preaching serves the ...
