Raising the Bar 2014 Tigoni

Thanks for all those who prayed towards, or attended or contributed towards the fifth Raising the Bar preaching and leadership conference, just outside Nairobi last month. It was our first time going residential and It reaped rewards in fellowship and interaction and time to carry on discussions in a relaxed way. At one point someone said, “If we start down this line we could be here all day and all night” and we all burst out laughing because of course we were going to be there all day and all night.

Personal highlights included the powerful expositions of Zephaniah by Harrison and Fidel where we saw:

the complete helplessness of humanity,
judgment as de-creation,
the Big Problem of the coming wrath of God, and so the Big Need being propitiation, and the Great Good News being the fact of that propitiation at the Cross,
salvation is being sheltered under the wings of God,
God is with and among his people and their only hope is to be taking refuge in him
Christianity is a religion of future hope
we have the greatest reason to rejoice of any people – in salvation and in the God who rejoices over us

If you missed the conference, why not come to the forthcoming RTB in Kisumu:

10 things servant leadership is

Having cleared away 10 things servant leadership is not , here are 10 that it is. [Credit to Harrison Mungai for his help in observing many of these features and helping us to think through this really important area.] I used to think that all that was necessary in gospel ministry was faithful Bible handling. Preach the Word carefully and surely everything else should follow? But I was wrong. Sadly it is possible to have high quality expository preaching and ungodly leadership. It shouldn’t be possible but it is. And it’s a very ugly thing. Peter Mead has written on the danger that can be done to a church or ministry when appointment of leaders values ability over character. So here are ten aspects of biblical servant leadership, specifically in relation to gospel ministry leadership, from 1 Thessalonians, especially chapters 2 and 3: Servant leadership is, wherever possible, Plural . A lot of articles and books on leadership assume that it is a personal project. Search G...

Utumishi wa Neno taster

It's finally starting! We had our first taster day for the church-based Utumishi wa Neno preaching course on Saturday. It was great to spend a few hours with 14 or so brothers and sisters and just spend soak in the Word. One of the crazy things we did was to read through the whole of Philippians out loud. How long did it take us? 15 minutes. And all of us enjoyed the experience and heard things we'd never noticed before. More thoughts on the day here . And for those who asked for the notes, they're available to download here . If you're in Kenya and want to get involved in the on-going Utumishi training see more info on the iServe Africa website .

Too short a text?

I was a bit concerned recently when I found that a church I hugely respect had been going through the letter of 1 Peter for the last 7 months and were only just beginning chapter 5. It's wonderful to preach through the books and letters of the Bible. All that was said was true and helpful. But is there a danger in only taking three verses at a time? I think there is. You're likely to lose the flow of the letter. 1 Peter only takes 16 minutes (max) to read out loud. That is how the first readers would have heard it. That's how it's meant to be experienced. Certainly there's a place for more detailed study but there is a great danger we lose the flow, the themes, the life of this living letter. If you preach for 45 minutes on 3 verses you're likely to be bringing in all sorts of cross-references, lots of systematic theology. In fact the verses of 1 Peter itself are probably going to be only a small proportion of your content. So the great danger is that I...
