This your April Update on all things Emmaus Church.  

This is week 12 of 52 Weeks of Guided Prayer for the formation and planting of Emmaus Church. This is our final week in the Lord's Prayer as we pray for God's protection for Emmaus in the face of temptation to sin.  Join me as we pray for God's protection of us and for our city's joy!

This is week 11 of 52 weeks of guided prayer for the formation and planting of Emmaus Church.  We have entered a critical stage in the life and formation of Emmaus - we started our Core Team meetings last week!  So, please continue praying with us and for us as we labor together for the cause of the Gospel in Ankeny.  

This is week 10 of 52 Weeks of Guided Prayer for the formation and planting of Emmaus Church.  This week we spend time praying through the confession section of the Lord's Prayer, a simple and straightforward prayer of confession.  This prayer of Jesus' teaches us to be a Church that is more deeply aware of God's holiness, our sin, and our need for Jesus that we might delight more in Jesus together!

This is your March 2022 Update on all things Emmaus Church.  

This is week 9 of 52 Weeks of Guided Prayer for the formation and planting of Emmaus Church.  This week we consider Jesus' prayer where he teaches us to pray for our bread, reminding us that we are dust - needy people - relying on a self-sufficient God who loves us despite the fact we are dust.  Join me as we pray for the needs of Emmaus.

This is the 8th week of 52 weeks of Guided Prayer for the formation and planting of Emmaus Church in Ankeny.  This week we jump into the Lord's Prayer and use it as way to pray for Emmaus with one thing in mind - allowing Jesus' prayer to help us know what belongs as essential to our identity and purpose.  Join me in praying for Emmaus. Next week we'll continue in the Lord's Prayer and will also, already, be publishing the March update!

This is week 7 of 52 weeks of Guided Prayer for the formation and planting of Emmaus Church.  This is, finally, our last week in the Athanasian Creed!  We focus in on the person and work of Jesus and pray for our city.  

This is week 6 of 52 weeks of guided prayer for the formation and planting of Emmaus Church.  Join us this week as turn the corner with the Athanasian Creed to explicitly give attention to the identity of Jesus.  

In this February update I walk you through the details of the Church Planting apprenticeship I am enjoying at Frontier Church.  I also introduce you to the 4 mountains I will be ascending along that pathway.  For more information about this pathway to Church Planting visit the pdf that Pastor Cole put together outlining the whole process of identifying and equipping Church Planters: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58f9143186e6c08e3fab1a59/t/61f98d5a942d3562baf4da81/1643744635337/2022+Church+Planting+Pathway.pdf
