Jubilee Church St. Louis – A Home Away From Home

February 8, 2010

One of the joys of being a Christian is that we have brothers and sisters all over the world. One of the delights in being in a family of churches like Newfrontiers, which has a strong set of core values and a shared story, is that such ties are even stronger. Call it shared DNA, [...]

My Time At The Journey

February 7, 2010

St. Louis is home to two churches I was keen to visit.  The Journey (an Acts 29 church) is led by Darrin Patrick, and I was so glad to be able to get there yesterday evening.  I’ll talk about Jubilee probably tomorrow.  First up, I think I like the idea of the time.  Saturday at [...]

Pastors Conference Day One

February 2, 2010

Yesterday was an amazing day.  The relational warmth of the people here and their passion for Jesus is infectious.  It was exceptional to meet Sam Storms, who I interviewed via email back in 2006, and whose ministry I have watched from afar. Look out for a video interview with him in the not-too-distant future [...]

Phil Johnson describes the release of a volume of previously unpublished sermons from the undisputed prince of preachers.  Pray that God will raise up men like this to declare boldly his word, going after lost souls and complacent saints in the same message.  His was a voice you simply couldn’t ignore. Out of love for [...]

John Piper preached from Romans 8 for The Village Church recently while Mat Chandler was recovering from surgery.  I loved the way he began his sermon by stating that having listened to recent talks by other pastors in the church, he was confident that the church did not really need Piper to help them face [...]

Matt Chandler: The Weight Of Pastoring And The Knowledge Of Christ

January 5, 2010

It somehow seems appropriate that the second sermon I am sharing on the blog this year comes from Matt Chandler. Matt has a very similar philosophy to us at Jubilee, and his illness has driven us to pray for him. It has also prompted me to listen to and watch more of his talks. [...]

Tope Koleoso preached this last Sunday on entering the New Year purposefully and with prayer. We are beginning the year with a week of prayer and fasting at church, so I have asked a guest blogger to join us here later in the week after I have shared a sermon I have set on [...]

I recently listened to these three talks from Chandler about how us men should be. As Matt puts it himself, in these talks he is “going after” us. If you are a woman, suggest your husband listens to these but don’t nag him about it.  If you are a man, stop what you are doing [...]

Matt Chandler On Being A Pastor

December 13, 2009

Matt Chandler is now in rehab, with a weakened left side after brain surgery. Pathology results are awaited and so our prayers are still much needed.  I suspect, however, there is something that Matt would crave even more than our prayers—that is that we would be inspired by his message to run after our Lord [...]
