Pursuit Finale!!!

So here I am standing in a make shift coffee shop in LA, thousands of pastors streaming by me, talks of doctrine and grace, theology floods the conversations, and the only thing that I am thinking is pursuit. I see it in these men, I hear it in there voices, I see there desperate desire for their churches to not just be places where people gather once a week, but rather the desire to see a place that transforms men and women and those men and women go forth equip with the Gospel to share and play a part in the spreading of the Gospel.

I hope that this 40 days has been great, and whether you are wrapping up tomorrow or Saturday, I pray that you have been confronted with the Gospel and I pray that it has changed you, I pray that it has taken you to places of depth and love for your Savior, I pray that you are asking how can I use my gifts and play my part well in the church Christ has called me to.

My deepest desire for FCL is that we are a place that is marked by the Gospel, that we are a place that sees our city through the eyes of Christ, and that we love well those who Christ has called us to. What a great task and one that cannot stop after 40 days, but one that must be walked out in our everyday life.

So my encouragement as we leave this time, may this study birthed something in you that cannot be contained, may the lessons you have learned not stop, but may they continue to affect you and the life of those around you. BE in the WOrd, LOVE the WOrd, and then LOve others because of what He has done in you. You have been such an encouragement to me and my life, may we continue to grow into the church Christ intends us to be.

LOVE GOD LOVE PEOPLE
