Much of the content of this blog will be around the Gospel Message, Gospel Identities and Gospel Rhythms of Life that a Missional Community needs to believe, embrace and embody.Jeff Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09506488760992630744noreply@blogger.comBlogger491100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9145235949227303451.post-61352676662134240942011-04-09T23:27:00.001-07:002011-04-09T23:28:41.012-07:00

I spoke at Surge Phoenix a few weeks back and Chris Gonzalez ask some of those who attended to share what stuck with them. This is what he collected...1. We must "make" disciples - How many times do we look around and want to get mad at people who aren't doing "it" right? What we seem to forget, is that we seldom figured out anything on our own - rather we had people teach us. Yet, we want

A while back I shared at a seminar how we welcome people to our Gatherings on a weekly basis in order to remind them that they ARE THE CHURCH...Here's what we generally say..."Welcome to Soma's Gathering. We believe because of what Jesus has accomplished through his life, death and resurrection that we have become His Church saved BY His work FOR His work. We no longer GO to church because we ARE

I was recently asked to clarify how I would define the church...Many people define the Church primarily by what she does, not who she is. Unfortunately, this leads to an understanding of the Church that defines her not by God’s work, but by man’s work, leading to a view that man builds the Church instead of Jesus.With this understanding, anybody who simply implements the forms or activities of “

I had the privilege of hanging with my Acts 29 brothers from the greater L.A. region on Tuesday night at Gordon Biersch then training over 100 pastors and church planters from L.A. and southern California in our Missional Ecclesiology. The next day I hung out with the leaders, pastors and elders from Cornerstone in Simi Valley discuss the implementation of this Ecclesiological understanding in

I have been thinking that one of the things that might be helpful to many is hearing the stories or ideas from people who are actually leading Missional Communities.So, I am inviting people from Soma and elsewhere to share the stories of how you are engaging your neighbors or particular people group God has sent you to with Gospel demonstration and declaration.What are you doing weekly?

One of my Acts 29 brothers asked the Acts 29 guys if they took Sunday off ever and why. Here is my response... Although we do not always gather in the same building, we wouldn't say we "take Sundays off” or “cancel Sunday Gatherings”. This language seems to betray our belief that if it is not done by the few of us paid pastors at our building, it doesn’t really count. When we don't all

Recently and frequently, I have been asked "What is Soma School?"The History...Soma School was birthed out of regular requests from people around N. America and Europe to come and stay with us in order to experience and learn how we live out the Gospel and Mission of Jesus Christ in the South Puget Sound area. We would regularly tell people that it's difficult to understand how we equip and

I will follow this up with a post describing how our community has worked this out in tangible forms.SO, WHAT IS HOSPITALITY?In general, hospitality is about treating a stranger as an equal to the host by creating space for him to be protected, provided for and taken care of, all of which is followed by assisting and

Recently, I have engaged in a conversation with my Acts 29 brothers regarding the challenges of raising up indigenous leaders to start new churches. Many struggle to find the men, the resources (many reference the high costs to plant) and the means to identify, equip and release for the starting of new Gospel works.Here are some of the observations/questions I shared with them as well as part of

In our desire to equip people to demonstrate and declare the Gospel more effectively we have come to realize that we need to regularly expose them to Gospel experiences that both shape them in the Gospel as well as train them in how to more effectively share the Gospel.In this and the following posts I will share some of the “Gospel Pathways” that I have been developing to accomplish this.In this

As Paul addresses the Ephesian Church he reminds them that they were dead in their trespasses, but God who is rich in mercy made them alive together with Christ (2:4-5) – its by grace that we are saved through faith, not as a result of works so that no one may boast. It is by God’s power and work that we are saved, not our own (2:8-9). Then he goes on to inform them that the very reason God did

As a church planter with a calling to lead a church planting movement and as one who serves on the board of Acts 29, a church planting network, I have found that it is very important to identify some key differences between a Church Growth Movement and a Church Planting Movement in order to insure that we are accomplishing what we have stated we are committed to..A Church Growth Movement (CGM)

For some time I have been making the case that the leadership of the Church must commit itself to "equipping the saints for ministry" (Eph. 4) and doing it is such a way that it can be multiplied generationally and leads to saturation of a region with Gospel Centered Churches on Mission.This instruction (fruitful multiplicaton) in the New Testament is built into the very fabric of Creation (

As my wife Jayne and I have walked through some trying times concerning her health, God brought this quote from John Newton to me:Everything is necessary that he sends. Nothing can be necessary that he withholds. If it’s in your life it’s because He knows you need it – even though you think its bad. If it’s not in your life He knows you don’t need it – even though you think you do. Why? Because

I spent a couple of days in part of the bible belt this past week with one of the Acts 29 brothers that I deeply respect - Daniel Montgomery from Sojourn. Caesar and I were invited to do some training on Missional Communities and how we're leading people in the Gospel here in Tacoma.One of the things that Daniel graciously spoke to us was our need to work on how we present our material in such a

Caesar and Tina Kalinowski and my wife and I just purchased a restaurant/cafe in Tacoma called The Shakabrah.It was a key gathering spot for people of all walks of life, but it had to be closed for financial reasons.We were blessed by God to have favor with the previous owner and we worked out a great deal so that The Shakabrah could be saved and she could continue working for us, keeping the

In training through the identities (Missionary, Family, Learner, Servant), I have found it to be helpful to some to train through them in light of a Tri-Perspectival view.If you are unfamiliar with Tri-Perspectival or Multi-Perspectival go to: Drew Goodmanson's BlogIt looks something like this:Prophet/Normative = Learner (Gospel Truth) - Jesus was the Word proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom

I am in Krakow having just spent a week and a half in Czech Republic training church planters from Eastern and Central Europe. I decided I'd better get back to blogging since it's been a long time.I want to continue what I started with the Gospel Identities. I have come to believe that the way to find out the idols of the heart is through discerning who or what we find our identity in (I will

Over the past couple of months God has been showing the elders of Soma Communities that we needed to repent to the Body of Pride, Overlording instead of Overseeing, Partiality and a Lack of full submission to other governing authorities.We ended up using our the Sunday gatherings of two of our expressions to repent publicly. It was both very humbling and very freeing. Our Soma family responded

Not too long into our journey as a new church plant we realized that we were doing a good job of calling people to the Mission and even seeing people actively engage in serving our community in tangible forms. However, we observed that many of our people were being driven to missional activity from non-gospel motivation. They were active because of guilt, shame, performance driven hearts or based

About 4 years ago I began calling people to be a part of a new expression of the church in Tacoma, WA.I remember when I would sit down and explain to people the vision of what we would be together I would often grab a napkin or a page in my journal and draw a box with a triangle above it topped off with a cross. I said most people think that a church is a building people go to in order to attend

I just wrote this (I have added more for the blog) to some of the men of Acts 29 as they were talking through taking time off to rest...Many Church Planters and Pastors preach a gospel that is by grace through faith, not by our own works, yet live and lead their churches as though people's salvation and the building of the Church is completely dependent upon them - by our own works - and

I have finally decided to begin blogging. I have held off for quite some time because I did not want to do it for self-promotion reasons. I also knew that it could possibly create a lot more work for me. However, I have come to see that it could also serve some of those who have been interested in Gospel Centered Missional Church Planting work.I am one of the elders of Soma Communities, a church
