Opening Worship
May 3, 2015 • Rev. TJ Anderson
What does it mean to be The Church of Jesus Christ? As followers of Jesus, we are a people who are on a mission with Jesus. Rev. TJ Anderson addresses the conflict with our individualistic world view and being The Church in Mission. He shares how, as followers of Jesus, we are to live as though everyday life is a mission trip. TJ is the Senior Pastor of Upper Arlington Lutheran Church in Columbus, OH. He is energized and focused to be in mission with Jesus to reach those who do not yet know Him.

Rev. Steve Turnbull explains the Biblical picture of discipleship to Jesus. Drawing on his own leadership in developing a disciple-making culture at First Lutheran Church in White Bear Lake, MN, Steve explains how discipleship is more than just a church program, an add-on after evangelism, or a next step for high commitment Christians. Discipleship to Jesus starts with our experience of God and includes the process by which God’s Spirit makes us truly human again. Steve is the Senior Pastor at First Lutheran Church in White Bear Lake, Minnesota and an adjunct faculty member at several seminaries. He has a particular passion for discipleship and leadership development in the church.

May 5, 2015 • Rev. Jeremey King
Rev. Jeremey King shares practical disciple-making principles and hard-learned strategies from his experience in launching Radiant Church in order to help us make a habit of sharing our time, resources and relationships with others in our lives. It’s about being there for each other in good or bad situations. It’s intentional instead of additional; a part of one’s life instead of another busy thing to add to an already busy calendar. It’s a mindset. Jeremey is the founding pastor of Radiant Church and serves on the LCMC Ministry Board. He has a passion for seeing people in all walks of their faith be awakened by God’s Word in new ways.
