Here's an update on what's been going on with me. At the end of July, I attended the Xenos Summer Institute. It was a three day conference with a number of good speakers, including Mark Driscoll, Mark Middleberg and D.A. Carson. Wonderful teachers who gave what I felt was a clear message of correction for us as a church.
During the conference, there are also a number of breakout sessions you can choose to attend. Having just come out of my men's small group, Entrust, I was mainly focused on how small groups should work. I really enjoyed it and spent some time discussing this with my pastor.
So out of that, I am now the Director of Small Group Life at our church. This is a new position, created to give more of a focus and priority on our group. I'll share more details about it later, but I am excited.
Other highlights include:
- Gave two sermons, one on fear and another short one on recognising our idols
- Starting a continuation of Entrust with two other group members
- Preparing for our Christmas show
- Switching our email to Google Apps
It's going to get real busy and I need to be sure to keep it all under control. I need to be sure it doesn't overrun my home time.
