Review of Preaching in Concord

Concord Bible Church is at a crossroads. By their own admission, they are lacking in leadership. They have no pastoral staff at all. Their Youth pastor was let go a few months ago over differences with the Senior Pastor who then him self resigned in the middle of a church meeting. Brought that meeting to a screeching halt, I imagine.

It is a church with tremednous potential. There's probably 90 people or so, some older, some with kids in high school. There is a sense in which the church does want to move forward, but someone is needed to kick it into gear. Mike, the guy I spent the most time with today says that the church needs to challenged. A guy named Rich is getting some men's discipleship groups going. So there is hope here. Their prayer should be that God brings them a Godly man with a concrete vision for growng the church and challenging those already involved to grow in their faith.

The preaching went really well. Of course everyone who comes out always says what a great job I did. But there were some who were encouraged by the fact that i spoke from the Old Testament. If all goes well and they do not pick a Senior Pastor soon, I might be back in August to preach again. God willing
