I can't recall how I first came across Mark Dever, but since that time this man has profoundly affected my thinking about ecclesiology and pastoring. His books The Nine Marks of a Healthy Church and The Deliberate Church are something no pastor or church leadership should be without. Also not to be missed are the fantastic collection of interviews and articles over at the 9 Marks website. A lot of good material here for the benefit of the church.I'm fudging a bit today with the purpose of this blog: this is neither a sermon nor is it a single one. Instead this is a series of talks given by Dever at the Sovereign Grace Pastors College back in February of last year. I hope the content of these talks will encourage you to extend grace to me. Here's the list:
I've found this to be a very helpful series personally. As a pastor/church planter, I've found it increasingly difficult to work engagement with unbelievers into a schedule filled with church-related items and it's something I very badly want to change.
