how does the worship gathering fit into clowney’s ‘gathering’ of the lost? what does that worship gathering look like?

To be Reformed, Tri-perspectival, Gospel-Driven, and Missional! But nothing less is right or satisfying and as you said, quoting Clowney, "Such love (the love that is responding to God's redemptive love) does not ask what it must do as a minimum, but rejoices in doing unrequired good." We just called our first church-planter apprentice and he accepted the call. We're having a big meeting Sunday night to announce it to everyone. He'll join us in September. Our prayer is to launch our first plant 18 months later. Peace. Sometimes it seems challenging to do it all doesn’t it? To be Reformed, Tri-perspectival, Gospel-Driven, and Missional!
