A couple of Sunday's ago a preached an usual message and my opening sentence was 'sin smells like fart'! I was so nervous to preach this message. It wasn't a pretty message. It wasn't planned. I had a totally different message planned which I have since preached. On this particular occasion, I felt that God wanted to say something to His church and so with ten minutes notice, before church started, I scribbled down some rough notes and preached a message called Sin Smells Like Fart. I think it is titled Why Jesus? on our church podcast page to make it a little easier on the ear, but the message is the same. Have a listen here.
The ups, downs, frustrations, joys and everything in-between on the roller coaster ride of church planting. I can honestly say that no recipe or formula for church building exists - God does not work in this way! D7 Church is proof of this. Not because we didn’t try, we did try just about everything. Our bookshelf is lined with books that tell you what works and what doesn’t work. Our computer is filled with files of blog posts from mega-church pastors, documents with strategy from other churches. We have attended conferences and visited other churches to try and learn about building a church. It was only when we gave up and said so to God that we began to have breakthrough. This is our story.
