Today’s video may challenge some of your preconceptions. In it Terry Virgo is asked if there is a difference between being apostolic and missional. In it he argues that the main task of apostles was not to write Scripture, and says that most Evangelicals today have only been taught to obey the Bible as [...]
Next year will be the second Everything Conference. This UK event is all about how Christianity is meant to effect your whole life. If like me you missed the first one, this extract from some detailed notes will whet your appetite for 2011. “Like two train tracks running side by side, many people feel they [...]
Gods purposes fulfilled through scattering. “Now those who had been scattered traveled as far as…” Acts 11:19ff Dave was encouraged by a prophecy during the worship, “The greatest scattering is now before us. Together to be scattered for Gods glory.” When God is about to initiate a major move forward, he does lots of things at the [...]
This past Sunday it was a joy to have John Piper with us at Jubilee Church in London. He seemed to be very much at home with us, and was clearly enjoying preaching one of the very few sermons he will preach this year. We benefitted greatly from this talk as Jubilee continues to aim [...]
City churches can make an impact on society. Especially if they grow big and make some noise. Godfirst Church, led by my friend PJ Smyth, is certainly doing that. I am not particularly surprised that they have made such an impression that the president himself wants to come and check it out! The church is [...]

I know not everyone who wanted to join the study group has had a chance to answer last week’s questions, but I was eager to get part two up today. I only just made it! Please feel free to pop back to last week to catch up, or just jump in right here. I am [...]
As I have mentioned before, on June 26th John Piper will be the speaker at our second “300 Leaders” event here in London. This is an opportunity to you to hear Piper in a smaller, more intimate setting, and network with other leader from a variety of different backgrounds. You need to book in [...]
Interesting and challenging post alert. Do you (like me) connect online mostly with other Christians? Perhaps Twitter can help us change this (and similarly Facebook where just the fact that your non-Christian friends get to see your interactions surely has to be some kind of witness, you better hope its a good one!)

These are my notes from the final session of Dwell London. Ed Stetzer was the speaker. He wanted us to focus on Why not how. Tools not rules. We are in a time of transition. Many churches are frustrated. Looking for new ways, new models. We need to think biblically and culturally about how do church. Ecclesiology [...]
