Video on “Failure of the Missional Church”

Acts 29 Quarterly – Omaha, NE from Core Community on Vimeo.

This video is from the Acts 29 Quarterly event in Omaha, NE where I spoke on “The Failure of the Missional Church.” I explain Syncretistic Missional Ecclesiology (SME), the fusion of missional church values with institutional church structures, and how to move out of SME. We examine three things:

1) OUR PAST: How our inherited form of institutional church affects us.
2) OUR PRESENT: How we can transition away from its shortcomings.
3) OUR FUTURE: How to cultivate an intuitively missional church.

The Will of God is to Have No Will of Your Own

” The will of God is to have no will of your own.”

  • The life of Mueller – missional, before the word, among orphans
  • The piety of Mueller – deeply prayerful, devoted to Scripture, a real man
  • Jesus and this man will make you want to make your life count. Surrender your will to God. Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Jesus. Nothing better in this world.

    – George Mueller
