A Facebook group that I’m part of, called Compadres, is having a blog tour. The general theme is The Glory of The Son and each of us will pick a story, event or teaching of Jesus that reflects His glory. Here are the posts so far.

July 1: Jeremy Hoover: Matthew and Mission
The idea of information, imitation, and innovation, as seen in Jesus’ example, gives us a reproducible model for discipleship in our own churches. By using simple, reproducible models like Life Transfomation Groups, Discovery Bible Studies, or even 3DM’s huddles, we can inform disciples, encouraging them to imitate even ourselves as we imitate Jesus. Through learning and imitating, they will become empowered to innovate and take the mission of Jesus to others in new ways.
July 3: Allen Carr: The Glory in the Welcome
The world is often unkind. I, myself can be selfish. But God is welcoming. When all other avenues fail me, I see the glory of God in the welcome.
At a table where everyone is invited. Faithful ones like my parents. People with serious doubts and questions like my friend. And even sinners like me.
