He has spoken every year at the D6 Conference.

Family ministry is not just another department or silo in the church.

How was family ministry woven into the early church?

2 Timothy 3:14-17
  • The sufficiency of Scripture-The Bible is true and enough for every practice
    • Teaching-how to think right
    • Reproof-how not to think wrong
    • Correction-how not to act wrong
    • Training in Righteousness-how to act right 
  • Four levels of Scripture
    • Doctrine-the truth of God
    • Righteousness-the will of God
    • Methodology-the ways of God
    • Jurisdiction-the call of God 
  •  The Jurisdiction Principle-When a larger jurisdiction usurps responsibility from a lesser jurisdiction,
    • the crisis will not be solved and
    • the proper jurisdiction is robbed of motivation, time, and resources to do the job.
  • The patterns and commands for the early church, given to us by God in the Bible, are to be followed by us today.
    • Ephesians 6:4
    • Family discipleship begins in the home
    • Children were included in the corporate worship service of the early church.
      • Colossians 3, Ephesians 6, Acts 20
      • The only demographic we split up in corporate worship is parents from children
      • So many of our decisions in church are based on pragmatism rather than the Bible
    • Titus 2:4-5-God has spoken through the word of Scripture of heart of women ministry
    • Global missions begins with Genesis 1:28-Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth...
    • The church has taken over evangelism when it was responsibility of individuals/homes
If you only remember one thing: sacred writings are able to make you wise for salvation and life in Jesus Christ.

Sermon Notes-"Transitional Thoughts"

Introduction: As I was thinking and praying about what to share during my final sermon on staff, I began to think of the transition that I am making as well as the church.   We as pastors have been consistently focused on three priorities over the last several years: prayer, worship and equip.   So, even though I may no longer be on staff in a few weeks at this church, as a member of this church I believe just as strongly that Hesston MB needs to continue to be about these priorities in the days ahead.   However, the more I prayed about it, the more I realized that to get to these priorities, we as a church also had to make some transitions so that is why I am entitling this message “Transitional Thoughts”.   Transition is defined as “the process or an instance of changing from one form, state, activity, or place to another.” Educate to Equip- Ephesians 4:11-16 ·          What is the difference?   o    To educate the focus is information; to equip the focus is transformation o
