Here are some of my favorite tweets from the last few weeks.  This is one of the blessings of social media where we can hear the gospel from people all over the world. If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. I want to see more broken people come to Jesus.  Let's not get upset about things that don't matter.  Stop fussing. Let's work together. @don_missionUSA @usmbchurches At a church where the goal is to be better and better, the comparison game is strong. When the goal is for Jesus to be clearer and clearer, real change can happen. @JeremyG220 The Gospel isn’t an after thought or a tidy way to tie up a sermon. It’s life. It’s balm. It’s healing. It’s everything. @Thejesslou Despite what most people assume, the greatest commandment is not the standard of Christianity. Jesus Christ is. The gospel is “my commandment.” I am righteous before God because of what someone else has done.  @Byronyawn Repentance is not a work that we perform, but ...

Here are some of my favorite tweets from the last few weeks.  This is one of the blessings of social media where we can hear the gospel from people all over the world. If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. The Law's favorite word is ''more.'' •more obedience •more striving •more doing •more, more, more. The Gospel’s favorite word is ‘’finished.’’ @birdchadlouis If you feel like you are drowning in a sea of "You didn't" and "You never" and "You ought to", don't forget the cry of the crucified Christ, "It is finished." @jaredcwilson When we think about growing in Christ, or when we think about sharing our faith, we always wonder how to do it. The answer is to look to Christ in faith. (Jack Miller) Unity is more about the kind of people that we are than a list of things we agree on. (Brent Warkentin) @usmbchurches If we talk about cures or solutions or steps for a problem or sin but leave o...

Don Morris, National Director of U.S. Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches spoke briefly to start our morning. We are people of the Word and we take God's Word seriously. Pray for a great movement of God locally, nationally, and globally.  God is up to something among us. Jesus is saying, "let's go deeper!" I want to see more broken people come to Jesus.  Let's not get upset about things that don't matter.  Stop fussing. Let's work together. Revelation 5-Jesus is worthy! Let's be about proclaiming the substitutionary atonement of Jesus.  Is there any other message more important? Speaker later in the morning was a missionary to restricted access countries. How are we to multiply? I am not happy when people just follow me.  I like to help and create leaders. I have to be ready for Holy Spirit to lead me the way He wants, not the way I want. Look what God can do! I don't like a one man show.  You need others. You don...

"Great are you Lord" Aaron Hernandez, Lead Pastor at Grace Point Church, Texas was our speaker on Thursday evening. "Somas familia"-We are family. John 17:21 We don't just want to read books about God, but we want to experience God. 1 Corinthians 12:27-Theme Verse for the Conference All of you together are the body of Christ. Paul wanted to remind his brothers and sisters of this truth in 1 Corinthians. What we believe about ourselves determines how we behave. Remember in your churches that "you are the body." The body has many parts and God has put each part just where He wants it.  Everyone is part of something much bigger. Gary Inrig quote on unity and diversity. Three Very Important Aspects About the Body Unity Diversity Interdependence What We Need To Do: Pray for Unity-John 17:21 Stay humble in diversity-Philippians 2:3-4; 1 Peter 5:5 Embrace Interdependence-Ephesians 4:16

"I am not a slave to fear.  I am a child of God." Brad Burkholder, Lead Pastor of Hesston MB Church shared a testimony of three blessings in his life and church. Our speaker for the evening was Henock Tsegaye, Lead Pastor at Ethiopian Christian Fellowship Church from Olathe, Kansas. Ephesians 2:11-22-One of the greatest divisions is between Jews and Gentiles. But the division is broken down by God himself.  Because of Jesus, there is no more slave or free, no more Jew or Gentile. Acts 8-Ethiopian saved Acts 9-Paul saved Acts 10-Roman saved The salvation plan is not only for the Jewish but for all nations. There are no boundaries, no limitations for the oneness that God has created. Ephesians 4:3-Humbleness will help the unity to be maintained. Gentleness is one of the fruit of the Spirit (power under God's control). The most important thing to keep unity is love (agape is unselfish and willingly gives). When the peace of God dwells in our he...

 "Never once did we ever walk alone....You are faithful God, You are faithful." Our speaker this morning was Brent Warkentin, Lead Pastor at First MB Church, Wichita, KS. Ephesians 4:1-3 Every Christian has a calling.  Paul is pleading them to live out that calling. Christians who "walk worthy" are completely humble are completely gentle are patient, bearing with one another love each other make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit of the bond of peace Love as a walk worthy Christian is balanced.  The list in 1 Corinthians 13 are not feelings, but actions or thoughts. We are not responsible for the unity in our church, but we are responsible to make every effort to maintain unity. What's unity? There's no definition that I've found. Is it theological? majority? strategic? I don't know how to measure unity.  ligament-bond-When you are pursuing unity, it comes from the peace from God that we already have. Unity ...
