Pastor's Conference

Last week I was able to attend and preach at the Pastor's Conference at County Avenue Baptist Church in Texarkana, Arkansas. It was fun. Here are a couple thoughts from the conference.

  • It was great to see friends I don't get to see very often.
  • I preached Acts 8:5-8 about reaching a city. I mentioned one of my favorite missionary quotes."Some wish to live within the sound of a chapel bell; I wish to run a rescue mission within a yard of hell." C.T. Studd
  • Someone asked if Lifepoint would consider being the destination for cityreach in the future. That would be fun.
  • I had some great conversations with pastors I hadn't talked to before.
  • I am really encouraged when I see people talk about Jesus and their city with passion.
  • When I watch James Bull lead music it makes me want to sing. He never ceases to amaze me.
  • Every sermon and workshop I heard was awesome!!
