Aletheia Church Boston

Baby Steps

// June 20th, 2010 // Uncategorized

Today, Aletheia Church Boston took a baby step forward, and it was exhilarating.

After almost two years of praying, working, worrying, and dreaming, we had our first Core meeting for Aletheia Church Boston. It wasn’t amazing because we had 50 on our first night (because we didn’t), and it wasn’t amazing because someone came to faith in Christ (although that would’ve been awesome), and it wasn’t amazing because I preached an out-of-the-park message (although I’m working on it…).  It was amazing because a bunch of people who had never been in the same room together took a step toward radical, Gospel-unity.

That was amazing.

In some ways, it was like a first date… kinda awkward, some stretches of silence, but very exciting.  And, like a first date, once it got going, it was a lot of fun.

I feel completely honored to lead this church, and to begin to pastor such great people.  I firmly believe that as we experience the truth, grace, and changing power of the Gospel in our Core, then we will soon be empowered to bring the truth, grace, and changing power to the great city of Boston.

Looking forward to next week.
