The Sunday Refill – 7 Links for Your Weekend (23/4/17)

And there was me thinking a snap election was when you all vote for the same person…

1) This Is About That – A new fantastic three-minute video resource capturing how human marriage is all about displaying the wonder of the Christian gospel. Looks excellent for marriage prep sessions, etc.

2) Exporting the Brompton Way – Madeleine Davies has written this extended Church Times piece looking at the national influence of HTB’s model of church-planting, particularly in city centres with student populations. Really interesting. As one commentator put it: “is this the future of the C of E?”

3) Three Books Every Church Planter Should Read – This survey of various church-planters on what they’d recommend as their ‘top 3 books’ makes for a pretty comprehensive collection for planters to pop in their back pocket.

4) How to Binge Watch Like a Believer – Fascinating interview with Andy Crouch on how we approach technology as Christian families. This will really make you think – and really useful if you’re a parent or involved in youth & children’s ministry.

5) Developing a Training Church – Pastor Danny Rurlander from Moorlands Church, Lancaster, talks practically through how they’re seeking to be a church that has a training mentality at the heart of their DNA.

6) So what if Tim Farron thinks homosexuality is a sin? – Over on the current affairs site Spiked, Brendan O’Neil weighs in on this week’s media furore around Lib Dem leader (and Christian) Tim Farron: “[He] is being demonised for his private thoughts, for the contents of his soul; not even for something he did in private but for something he thinks in private.”

7) Forty-Eight Scattered Thoughts about Pastoral Ministry and Being a Pastor – Lots of bite-size wisdom here.

“If we could be fully persuaded that we are in the good grace of God, that our sins are forgiven, that we have the Spirit of Christ, that we are the beloved children of God, we would be ever so happy and grateful to God. But because we often fear and doubt we cannot come to that happy certainty.”
- Martin Luther
