We're grateful to God for the chance to share about the Rural Project at Rising Lights this week. Want to find out more about our work? Visit: theruralproject.org/connect

@TheRuralProject Grateful for this!

Pastor, It’s a bank holiday. Rest. You are not the saviour of your church. Jesus is. Sleep, recover, and trust that the risen Christ will not return his word to him empty.

“We’ve never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them. You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this and that. And they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines” I served in Afghanistan. I saw first hand the sacrifices made by British soldiers I served alongside in Sangin where we suffered horrific casualties, as did the US Marines the following year. I don’t believe US military personnel share the view of President Trump; his words do them a disservice as our closest military allies. It’s sad to see our nation’s sacrifice, and that of our NATO partners, held so cheaply by the President of the United States.

Jonathan Bond @theFIEC's Director for Small Churches shares with us his experience for how to lead small churches: theruralproject.org/blog/leading-s…

@edstetzer I really like Dr Pepper - just saying 🤷‍♂️

We will remember them! @Peak_Trinity

@krishk A very good video - I agree. Do you think your posture to the Trump visit is different today than what it would have been a fortnight ago?

I'm actually really pleased Donald Trump is coming to visit...

Praise God for a successful launch service of the new Acts 29 Europe church Église de la Montagne in Paris! "At 10h30 we started the service. 160 people showed up, which was way more than we expected...All in all we couldn’t have imagined all of this going so well."

@jonnypollock Be great if we can get you to contribute to sessions in some way.

@ScothernR Can’t do this one… but was eyeing up future dates!

See you there?

@AdamMerrivale Hey Adam. Just finished and used Sinclair Fergusson’s book to shape series. peaktrinity.org/sermon-on-the-…

PREACHERS! Have you preached through the Sermon on the Mount? I'd be interested to know your breakdown, and how many messages you did. (Part of me is tempted to have a Sunday where I just read the Sermon in full and then announce the final hymn)

Looking forward to attending this with @EAUKnews, @fiec, @Peak_Trinity and @Acts29 friends.

Work with me? @fiec @Acts29

When you go and collect your kids from Contagious and have a wardrobe clash with another pastor 😂 @TheRuralProject

Such a joy to be a part of this team!! youtu.be/vhu56GPh45k?si…

@calvinrobinson Gal.3:24-25: So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

“The old covenant was a tutor until the coming of Christ, but now the truth has appeared, and the shadows have vanished.” St Basil the Great

@BenObeseJecty Hi Ben. What do you fear/perceive the consequences of this vote will be? At its most perverse/extreme, could it mean a woman would be ‘free’ (no fear of criminal charges) to deliberately get pregnant with the sole intent to kill their unborn baby during labour? Thanks

I voted no. I am pro-choice, but can scarcely believe that after just 46 rushed minutes of backbench debate in which only 13 MPs gave speeches, Parliament voted to decriminalise abortions of healthy babies up to full-term. Labour MPs cheered when the vote passed.

Been reflecting on how we can cultivate a missional culture in our rural churches: peaktrinity.org/articles/missi… @Acts29 @theFIEC

Whether you servein a rural place, or in a more urban environment, we all need to think about reaching the lost in rural Britain. On the podcast, Adrian is joined by @ScothernR to hear about rural church ministry ⬇️ fiec.org.uk/resources/reac…
