Pastor Paul Murphy discusses how he started a lunch-time Bible study on Wall Street, how his congregation began providing spiritual care at a downtown hospital, how they started an ESL class for parents of students at a public school using the Gospel of Mark as the textbook.
Pastor Paul explains how Reformed theology is an asset for evangelism. The doctrines of forgiveness, of the sovereignty of God, of election, and of covenant are powerful anchors for church planting.
Messiah’s Reformed Fellowship is a URCNA congregation. In their classis there is a growing development of churches planting churches. In this development there is a growing realization and acceptance that some messiness in local missions is necessary for churches as we love and reach the lost. Pastor Paul and our co-hosts share some stories about this messiness.
