"It goes without saying that you may never develop into a G. Whitefield, C. Spurgeon, B. Graham, M. Lloyd-Jones or T. Keller, but even if you do, you will not preach the sermon God gives you tomorrow, today. God has called you, before the foundation of the world, to preach from the place you’re at with the perspective you’ve been given in the moment he has prepared for you to give it. And it’s a beautifully sovereign, intricately ordained, and lovingly organic moment of heavenly proportions. The sermon God gives you today is formed from the new morning mercies and diversely layered graces meant to inform the particular sanctification he has mysteriously designed for both you and your people. That sermon you’re despairing over today contains Spirit-enriching nutrients God has pre-ordained for the gospel vitality of your people as he prepares them for tomorrow. If your people were merely products to produce or problems to fix, than that excuse-for-a-sermon you dejectedly hold in your hands would continue to be joylessly inadequate. Thankfully, your people are persons, made in the image of God, who are being formed into a community of worshippers being stripped of their debilitating self-glory by the words you are preaching to them. Today!" Excerpted from @ronniemartin's"Preach What You Have" over on our blog. Go check it out! #preach #preaching #pastors #trusttheprocess #motivation

"Before that incident, I had associated with black friends at school. But that night something ugly broke loose in my heart. A seed was watered and the roots of racism began to choke out any voice of love & reason." - @revdaveharvey _______ [link in bio] #racism #reconciliation #gospel #blackhistorymonth #brotherhood #Jesus

Many are observing Ash Wednesday today. This day quietly reminds us, in the days before Easter, that death comes for all born under the curse, and it lays groundwork for the hope of Easter Sunday to ring all the louder and more powerful. The question we face this day is this: How am I preparing for my encounter with death? ________ Excerpt from @mikedcosper
We're excited to introduce you to Lead Pastor @briansauve & our newest church plant to join the SN family: @refugeutah in Ogden, Utah.

"The church calendar is designed to orient our lives around ultimate reality; namely, the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And as we follow Jesus’s life throughout the year, there are annual reminders about what it means to be a follower of Jesus living in a broken, sinful world." @andy_adkison [link in bio]
What a joy it is to welcome @newcityfresno @troymccomas into the SN family! Please join us in praying with them, that they may see Fresno flourish for the glory of God, and the good of all people, through a wholistic gospel-movement.
