We had our first real leadership meeting tonight, and I was real pleased with what we put in place. We worked out a general service order from the point of view for a visitor, and it seems like a good plan, on the face of it anyway. We also talked about some awesome coincidences (our worship guy’s friend received a campus bag, etc.), and some aspects of church planting that we needed to address (solidarity in leadership, having one another’s back, etc.).
Before we actually started planting, I had always heard that church planting brings a lot of opposition. Up until this past week, I hadn’t received any, and was praising God for it. I spoke too soon. This past week has been rife with opposition, from little things like the power going out to major things like a strike against my reputation from someone who really doesn’t know me. Oh well.
We’re all fallen. And I lean on Christ. ‘Nuff said.
