TSAWOUT at Cityview

I am looking forward to the group of singers and drummers coming from the Tswaout Assembly of Praise church on Vancouver Island.  The group of 12 will spend the weekend with us and will lead our Sunday morning gathering at Cityview.  If you are able I do hope that you will make special efforts to come and be a part of the gathering.  God has repeatedly blessed me during the times I have spent with these very special friends.  Their dedication to Jesus, their persistence and endurance in the face of suffering, and their love for the Tswaout people has both challenged and encouraged me.  It is a joy to be partners with them in the Kingdom work.  We will be receiving an offering for their trip to Korea and for their ministry so please prepare ahead of time to be generous.

the “one-anothers”

Yesterday at the Cityview Member LIFE seminar I did not have the “One Anothers” available.  So here they are.  These New Testament commands are impossible for us to fulfill without the development of Christian community.  They require an internal cooperation with the Holy Spirit to actually engage with other believer’s in the life that Jesus envisions for the church.

120 Days, James Choung on video

If you are coming out to Leaders Fellowship this Wednesday night at Cityview you will join us in the launch of a new experiment.  120 Days.  I am asking those who attend to think about and share the Gospel for the next 120 days, 17 September – 17 January, from a 4 Circles approach developed by James Choung.  On Wednesday we will start to learn this conversation together and we will develop ways to share our learning.  120 DAYS is a “next step” from the series in August called “Speaking of Jesus.”  I hope you will come, learn, pray, and take the challenge.  As preparation please watch the 2 three-minute talks by James Choung, author of True Story: A Christianity Worth Believing In.
