This is a great (and short) video message on discipleship from Jon Tyson, Lead Pastor of Trinity Grace Church in New York City. (HT: The Verge Network)
This is a GREAT read regarding a healthy, biblically true church. Especially the kind we want Fellowship South Nashville to be…
As we continue to think about living on mission, Heidi and I have really been challenged to connect more with our neighbors in meaningful ways. When Jesus said in Matthew 22:39 to “love your neighbor as yourself” – what if He actually meant our neighbors?

What are you particularly thankful for this Thanksgiving? An informal Twitter survey earlier this year revealed these simple words among America’s top 10: “Life,” “Family,” Friends,” “God,” “People,” “Love,” “Today.” There’s no question we have an enormous amount to be grateful for.
