What can you expect from Beacon in 2020!

We will continue to faithfully plow, plant, and harvest in everyday life and encourage and equip others to do the same thing!

There is a growing number of people who are moving away from event-based faith to everyday faith. We are becoming familiar with plowing, planting, and harvesting kingdom fruit in everyday life and there is something very addicting about it!

Preaching and demonstrating the undiluted Gospel of Jesus as Savior and Lord to our family, friends, and acquaintances is sometimes uncomfortable. Still, it creates a watershed moment for everyone involved. We no longer allocate Jesus to our private lives or to an hour or two on Sunday morning. We are examining our faith regularly and noticing how it holds up under the scrutiny, criticism, ridicule, and resistance in our homes, at the office, in restaurants and bars, and on the streets. The Gospel looks good out there! 

Our network of church planters and elders will continue to search the scriptures together - watching our lives and doctrine closely. (1 Timothy 4:16) Our round table discussions are strategically focused on our Biblical understanding of Salvation, The Church, The Holy Spirit, Mission, and the 'end times' we are living in. This spiritual discipline and shared practice are not merely academic exercises, but they inform how we live our lives. It was after our time studying Salvation the Gospel was shared with two men (on separate occasions), and both men surrendered their lives to the Lordship of Jesus Christ! We believe this harvest will continue long past 2020! I'm anticipating how our house churches will change and grow as we search the scriptures together for a biblical understanding of The Church. We are anticipating how will the Holy Spirit will move through our churches as a result of grounding our knowledge of Him and how He moves in scripture.

2019 was about our planters and elders learning how to walk in this new, yet ancient way of being the church. 2020 will be about our planters and elders training the next generation of church planters and elders. There is an increasing number of people who are leaving 'the church' but are not leaving their faith. I believe that BEACON is poised to create a network of churches that will provide a place for followers of Jesus to find a place to belong, mature, and live on mission! Beacon is a network of churches that are being built up - together - to catch men and women whose spiritual eyes and ears have been opened by Christ!
