Preparing to Preach in a Church Plant
Manage episode 425195446 series 2474494
When launching a church plant, where do you begin your preaching ministry? In this episode of RE:CHURCH, Marshall Fant discusses this topic with Matthew Recker, who has planted three churches in New York City. He currently pastors Heritage Baptist Church in Manhattan, a church that began in 1996. Pastor Recker chose to start in Matthew 5 with the Beatitudes, a passage that corrects skewed views of happiness. True happiness comes from knowing Jesus Christ the King, mourning over our sin, thirsting and hungering for the Word of God, and developing right relationships around us. Pastor Recker said if he planted another church, he would start with the same passage because “the wisdom of Jesus Christ shines very powerfully in the Beatitudes.”
