TBH, this is a fire illustration. What the text says, what the text means, and applying it in a way that listeners can understand and will remember, so they will apply it. All in under 2 minutes? Give me more of this in pulpits everywhere!
Learning anything takes training. You’re taught, corrected, and shaped until it becomes second nature. That’s what God’s Word is meant to do in your life. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 shows us that God’s Word isn’t just helpful, it’s essential. It teaches us what is true, confronts what is off, corrects our direction, and trains us to live in a way that honors and glorifies the Lord. What you believe doesn’t stay in your head; it shows up in your life.

We asked our Executive Director, @noaholdham, what he wants our audience to know about Send Network — and he’s spot on.
These planters aren’t building a brand.
They’re building the kingdom.
Faithful men.
Sound doctrine.
Deep love for the lost.
They think kingdom.
They love partnership.
And they’re thankful for every church that gives, sends, and stands with them to see the gospel multiply across North America.
Though I'm still (relatively) young in ministry, I've been able to see what I believe are 3 'waves' of church planting in NA. I believe we're ready for a 4th, larger, healthier one. That's what we're constantly working toward at @sendnetwork. Check it out:
It’s easy to become hyper-focused on your church’s needs.
But don’t let that distract you from the needs of your city — and from how your church might be God’s answer to them.

Church planting health doesn’t happen by accident — it’s anchored. In Philippians 1, Paul gives us four anchors to help us stay the course, keeping our love on mission.

I love the @sendnetwork. Our family of churches.
I hope Cities Church has the greatest Sunday in the history of their church this week and more disciples are made than ever this year.
We have great churches in our family and supporting each other is critical.
