Headed to Austin TX
It’s conference time once again for Kristen and I. This Friday we will head to Austin TX for a family ministry conference with RightResponse Ministries called The Household And The War For The Cosmos. We are exctied to hear Chris Wiley (Children As Artillery), Jared Longshore (Keeping Your Kids) and Joel Webbon (The Cost Of Being A Man). If you are interested in the content that we will be hearing, let us know and we can download the content over coffee.
We hope to glean ideas that are helpful to our philosophy of family worship. It is such a great blessing at CBC to have all the children in attendance in our service. Just last week I was encouraged as I saw Logan Boone (18mons) get on the stage after service and stand where I lead worship. Logan began to sing and bob up and down imitating me leading the congregation in praise. It is working! The children of CBC are seeing and imitating their parents worship and sit under the teaching of God’s Word. However this is just a sign of the greater work that we pray the Holy Spirit does in regenerating these young hearts. I look forward to seeing them come to Christ as an act of faith, and baptize them in obedience to Him. It is what we pray for and it is why we joyfully have them in worship with us.
We will miss everyone at CBC. I am grateful for Rob who will be leading worship. I am also sad to miss as Josh will be continuing our study of Galatians. I will have to listen online and get caught up. You can listen to our sermons online at - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/covenantbaptistnwa.
Lastly, another philosopy of ministry at CBC that we are developing is discipleship. I try to speak about it in my preaching often, urging men and women into intentional spiritual relationships. Someone needs to have their finger on the spiritual pulse of your life. This happens when we are intentional about growing spiritually with the help of another believer. If you are interested please talk to either Bart or Josh so we can get you connected today!
See you next week CBC!
