CBCNLR Challenger Winter 2011
I would like to take this occasion to express my sincere gratitude for the way that you have
received and welcomed Roni, Hannah, and me into the Central family. These have been
whirlwind weeks for us, but your kindness and efforts at making us feel at home have been
more helpful than you may ever know.
At the end of the day, any pastor should be able to say in a concise way what he is about and
what he is aiming for. I am aiming for nothing less than this: that Central Baptist Church
would be an authentic community around the whole gospel for the glory of God and the
reaching of the nations.
Over the next many weeks I will be talking with the various ministerial and lay structures in the
church about the importance of our organizing ourselves around and grading ourselves by these
four New Testament benchmarks of the church:
authentic community
around the whole gospel
for the glory of God
and the reaching of the nations.
We might also thinking of these four benchmarks in terms of these four questions:
I would like to invite you to pray with me that we as a church would strive for faithfulness and
fidelity to these great goals. I pray that we will be so consumed with a desire to be a church
faithful to the biblical picture of the bride of Christ that we will refuse to settle for anything less.
