When I came to faith as a high school student – many, many
years ago – I thought that our Youth Group was living the next chapter of Acts
to be written. I’m thankful for the
sense of close connection to New Testament life which that represented. I’m embarrassed by the sophomoric
self-righteousness that caused me to think that we had the best handle on God and His
Kingdom in the nineteen centuries between the Book of Acts and me.
The Father has been at work extending the Gospel of grace to
all nations across those centuries. That
history and accumulated wisdom becomes a rich resource for better understanding
and serving Jesus in my own day and setting.
I now look at the church across history as fellow believers who have much
to teach me.
Beginning this February, I will be leading a group designed
to dig into that rich understanding of Christ and His Kingdom. Our Steering Committee will be using the
Leadership Training Material developed by the Evangelical Presbyterian Church
for Elder training and would like to open the opportunity to everyone
interested. Here’s how it will work.
