D Now–Northside Baptist Church, Neosho

Finally got back into town from Neosho, MO around 5:45 p.m. I was the speaker for a Disciple Now at Northside Baptist Church where my lifelong friend Lyndall Jones is Music and Youth Pastor. We had a really good weekend. I haven’t done a Disciple Now weekend in any capacity since we planted Finley Crossings. I used to do several D Nows each year when I was a full time student pastor. I actually had a lot of fun talking to the students and hanging out with the band.

Something that I thought about this morning during the invitation time was the impact that these kind of events has on not just students, but the leaders. There was an awesome group of students from the BSM at University of Arkansas that were leaders at each house. There were several times during the weekend that some of those student leaders as well as other leaders from the church were at the alter praying.

I remember some of the most powerful events in my life were not “for” me, but they were for “the kids,” but the Lord had something else in mind for me. How about you? What were some of the best things in your life to help you spiritually?

Here is a video slideshow I put together to go along with the sermon on Sunday. I love the lyrics to this song! Still work to be done in this city!!

    David –

    Thanks for your work here in Neosho. The sermon Sunday was excellent and we had good reviews from everyone about the weekend! God’s greatest blessings to you and your congregation at Finley Crossings.

    Gary and I were fortunate to host many decipleship weekends in GA. What really neat times they were. I still remember so many of the lessons we did. I know we always got as much out of the weekends as the kids did.

    yep. i honestly can’t even begin to count the number of d-now weekends/and those like it that I’ve been a part of, and quite honestly, I feel like I often walked away getting more out of the time than i feel like I contributed, but what a neat opportunity to pour into students, and likewise, to let them see God move and work in your life as well.
    I miss those events . . . but not the hours of missed sleep!
