In recent talks with local church leaders and pastors, I have heard alot of talk about people who are empire building. They are hesitant to embrace what groups Harbor, and Redeemer and Mars Hill, are doing. These local people that I’ve talked to are hesitant to be seen or to move towards creating any “movement”.
Of course its wrong for men to believe that their ministry is not successful until they have a nice big church of 1200, with a “movement”.
So are “movements” wrong? Or are todays movements simply what would have been called a revival in the 20th century? If so, isn’t it right to say that every minister’s goal to building an empire, not his own but Jesus’?

If you have not checked out the Gospel Coalition’s new website, you need to. They have posted 5 videos from their recent conference.
Here is a quote from Tim Keller’s talk entitled “What Does Gospel Centered Ministry Look Like?”:
“The basic subject of every sermon ought to be Jesus! It Doesn’t matter what passage, It doesn’t matter if its the Old Testament or the New Testament. Its got to be about Jesus…My friend Sinclair Ferguson says that most evangelical ministers don’t preach Christ, not only do they not preach Christ in the old test most of them don’t preach Christ in the New Testament.”
