Our Church has a quality that makes us unique, a quality that will impact Frisco and beyond for God’s purpose. We are one church in more than one language.

People who represent Stonebriar en Español come from 19 different nationalities. We also have Chinese and Korean-speaking fellowships.

Acts 6:1 shows us the friction that arose in the early church between Hebrew speakers and Greek speakers and how language barriers can hamper ministry: “In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.”

They were one church, but the two languages were working separately rather than in harmony. They had one Eldership, one ministry staff, and perhaps bilingual activities and faced the same challenge of coexistence we do today. But for a time, their ministry outreach suffered because the two groups did not fully cooperate in their efforts.

As opposed to being two churches in one location, we are one church where more than one language is spoken. This demonstrates our commitment to unity and global evangelism.

We have one Eldership, we have one ministry staff, and we have bilingual ac-

Every generation of Christians brings strengths and weaknesses to the body of Christ. God in His wisdom sees 20-somethings and 70-somethings as equally valuable in the church. A 20-something could never say to a 70-something, “I’m fine without you.” The same is true for the 70-something. Both have perspectives to contribute.

However, differing generations often do not appreciate each other. The 20-something may feel like the older generation is outdated, old-fashioned, and out of touch. The 70-something may feel like the younger generation will not listen to time-tested wisdom. The 20-something may embrace a view of United States culture that is much different than what the 70-something once cherished. The reality is that different generations view culture differently. However, there is one thing that brings multiple generations together: God’s timeless truth.

Serving as a pastor who oversees the adult fellowships, I am able to listen to a group like Mosaic, which is for young adults, and a group like A Grace Gathering, which is mostly for those over 50 years old. I appreciate that at our church different generations are able to influence each other. Multiple generations are ultimately united by our core identity in Christ.

The apostle Peter wrote his first letter to a group of people who were scattered, oppressed, misrepresented, and, at times,

maligned for believing in Jesus (sounds familiar, doesn’t it?). Peter reminds them that they are aliens and strangers in this world. They are chosen. They are born again to a living hope. Christian behavior in the world is essentially driven by who we are in Christ. That’s why Paul told the Philippians our citizenship is in heaven. However old we may be, who we are determines our role in culture. Differing generations contribute unique perspectives, but the realities of who we are and who God is determines how we live in the United States, or any country, today.

We don’t have to declare war on culture. However, we don’t have to accept every aspect of culture as good. Instead, let’s reclaim our identity as a peculiar people. After all, was it Christ’s mission to destroy his enemies or save them? One generation does not have to hang tightly on to the good old days. In fact, the late Dr. Howard “Prof” Hendricks once joked, “It was the good old days that got us into these bad new days.”

One generation does not have to believe that everything revolves around it. Instead, let’s all remember who we are in Christ. Let’s remember that God is for us so we should be for the people of the world, just like Jesus was. Let’s remember Peter’s words, “Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God . . .” (1 Peter 2:12).

How do different generations of Christians view their role in contemporary culture?

While the loss of this servant of God will be felt throughout the evangelical community, it is

especially poignant here at our church.

Prof was Pastor Chuck’s professor, mentor, and friend. Their relationship spanned more than 50 years. “No man has meant more to me in my adult life than Dr. Howard G. Hendricks,” Chuck said. “My wife, Cynthia, and I first met him in the fall of 1959 during my days as a first-year student at Dallas Seminary. It was one of those ‘love at first sight’ experiences between a student and a professor. Ultimately, I took every course he offered during my four years at DTS.” 1

Dr. Hendricks left an indelible legacy on Chuck. “His mark on me as a teacher has been etched permanently into my life and my ministry,” Chuck reflected. “Since I was his student, I have not prepared a message from God’s Word without remembering and applying the techniques Prof taught me.” 2

Dr. Hendricks was a member of our church with his wife, Jeanne. He also faithfully served as an elder. “[Dr. Hendricks] and I became even closer as he and Jeanne became a vital part of our church family,” Chuck said. “His years of leadership as one of our elders only deepened my respect for

After teaching first grade for seven years, Karen Hawkins, pastoral leader of Community Care, felt the call to full-time ministry and enrolled at DTS. Her first class was Bible Study Methods with Dr. Hendricks. Karen remembered, “I’ll never forget one day, early in the semester, as he was teaching, Prof paused and seemed to be looking right at me when he said, ‘Don’t you feel that you have to be like anybody else. You just be who God made you to be!’ Those words gave courage to this overwhelmed first-year student, and I continue to hear those words in my head so many times.”

Karen also took Creativity with Prof. In this class, Dr. Hendricks urged his students to be at the forefront of finding innovative ways to communicate Christ’s message in ministry. “As my final project for this class, I found the courage to tackle a dream I had for years and recorded a worship CD,” Karen said. “I’m so thankful for the way Prof believed in his students—most of the time more than we believed in ourselves.”

Prof’s devotion to teaching went outside the classroom as well. Les and his wife, Nidelvia, first met Prof and Jeanne at a marriage conference led by the Hendrickses. It was early in Les and Nidelvia’s marriage, and Prof and Jeanne took extra time to meet with the young couple. “We never forgot that,” Les said. At that moment Les and Nidelvia knew, “If that’s the kind of men and women that minister at DTS, then that’s where we need to prepare for ministry ourselves.”

Tony Cammarota, associate pastor of Equipping Ministries, recalls Dr. Hendricks praying over him at our church before his ordination. Prof attended a reception afterwards. “I went to thank him—he was instrumental in teaching me how to study the Bible and deepened my passion to dig into the Scriptures for myself,” Tony said.

him. His and Jeanne’s faithful presence in our worship services have been a blessed benediction to all our congregation as more and more came to know them and to love them.” 3 Chuck continued, “Who would have ever guessed that I would have the rare privilege to serve as Prof’s pastor, or that I—of all people—would have the distinct honor of opening the Word as he would sit and listen (and take notes!) from one week to the next? But I must add that no one was more encouraging, affirming, or appreciative than this great man of God.”

Les Fleetwood, pastor of Connecting and Equipping Ministries and former student of Dr. Hendricks, led the membership class that the Hendrickses attended. Les echoed Chuck’s thoughts in teaching his former professor. “Me teaching him?” Les said. “No, in reality [Prof] was still teaching me, this time about encouragement, teachability, and humility.”

When Prof was in the fifth grade, his teacher said he was “most likely to end up in prison.” On the first day of the next school year, his new teacher told him, “I’ve heard a lot about you. But I don’t believe a word of it.”4 This same undying belief in his students is what made Prof one of the most beloved and respected DTS professors.

Chuck introduces Dr. Hendricks and his wife Jeanne at our organ dedication in 2012. The organ was dedicated in honor of Drs. Howard Hendricks and Stanley Toussaint.

Dr. Hendricks taught and influenced more than 10,000 students in his 60-plus years at Dallas Theological Seminary.

“He was respected around the world and personally influenced the evangelical community and decided to show up at a reception of a pastor he didn’t know too well.” Prof’s response to Tony’s words of thanks was unforgettable: “Tony, I’d rather be nowhere else than here supporting you guys.” Tony said, “That statement embedded in my life that he believed what God could do in and through me. I’ll always be grateful.”

Prof once said, “I think the reason God has used me is that, by His grace, the Holy Spirit has developed in me an incurable confidence in His ability to transform people.” God used this confidence to impact countless lives for His Kingdom. “I cannot imagine the crowns and numerous other eternal rewards that were awaiting our beloved Prof as he entered the place he called ‘home,’” Chuck said. “He is now in the presence of the Lamb, in all His glory. He is now, at last, in Immanuel’s land.” 6

It’s Sunday morning. After a hectic morning at home, you make the drive to the church and turn into the parking lot to discover —no parking lot crew. The parking lot has become a confusing place to navigate. You finally find a parking spot, get the family out of the car, and walk towards the church. Oh, by the way, it is raining. You are juggling a Bible, a baby, holding two kids’ hands, and an umbrella. You walk up to the doors of the church, but there is no door greeter. Of course, the wind worsened as you got closer to the building so among the rain, the wind, the kids, and trying to open the door, you are soaking wet. You enter the building. There is no check-in, and you can’t remember which preschool room your child was supposed to go to this Sunday. However, that doesn’t matter since every room where

What comes to mind when you think of evangelism: gospel tracts and knocking door-to-door? There is a new ministry at Stonebriar aimed at radically changing the way Christians view, and do, evangelism. “My job is to start making people aware of a need to share their faith and to reach our community to show them Christ,” Greg Luttrell, associate pastor of Community Impact, said.

“Often the longer someone has been a Christian, the smaller his or her sphere of influence becomes,” Greg added. Many believers listen to Christian music, attend small groups, and then attend church on Sundays. While these activities are necessary for spiritual growth, “many Christians never have contact with lost people,” said Greg.

Greg and his team pioneered a class called Simple Evangelism. The first class met every Sunday in February of this year. Simple Evangelism was created to make people aware of the need to share their faith and allow them to learn how to do it naturally.

“There is a way to do evangelism without knowing all the steps,” Greg said. The class doesn’t teach a systematic plan of salvation, but instead conveys a new style of evangelism—lifestyle evangelism. “Kindness wins more people to Christ,” Greg said. “People will begin to open up when they find someone is radically

accepting and just cares about them and their soul.”

Lifestyle evangelism focuses on befriending unbelievers and showing them Christ’s love on a regular basis. It’s taking time to listen to their frustrations, hurts, and fears while being sensitive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Greg said, “The key is to be prepared and ask the Lord to use you however He sees fit. At some point, you will have to share the Bible with them, and there are at least five Scriptures you will need in your toolkit.”

Greg refers to I Corinthians 3:5–9 when talking about evangelism. “It’s the condition of the soil, not the skill of the farmer. God prepares the soil/heart. We are just available to be used.” “Count conversations, not conversions,” Greg added. He encourages Christians not to get discouraged if they don’t see instant “results.” While you may never lead that person to Christ, you’ve planted the seed for someone to do it in the future.

As the new Community Impact Ministry takes shape, Greg’s goal will remain the same. He said there is a feeling of adrenaline and “living on the edge” when you respond to God’s call of reaching unbelievers. “I want to mobilize people to see that side of the Christian life,” Greg said. “When it’s time and the Lord begins to work, hang in there.”

you try to drop off one of your children is closed—there are no teachers. You had a question about an upcoming event, but the Information Desk is empty and so is the office reception desk. There is no one to pass out the worship folders. The Worship Center is overcrowded because there are so many children, including 500 preschoolers! Trying to find a seat for the family is challenging—there are no ushers. The offering isn’t collected because there are no ushers, and you realize that there is no choir and no orchestra. The adult fellowship you had really looked forward to attending isn’t meeting because there is no teacher. As you leave church that morning, you are exhausted, overwhelmed, and not so sure you would like to do this again next Sunday. And . . . you have attended here for quite some time. Imagine if you were a first-time visitor! The above scenario is extreme, but it shows how important our volunteers are. Volunteers help make Sunday mornings

run smoothly. Volunteers also serve in the community with hospice, nursing homes, prison ministry, the homeless, and much more. There are those who serve during the week with Awana, Wednesday Night Live, Junction 56, Student Ministries, and the list goes on. None of our ministries could function without the dedication of our volunteers.

If you are currently serving, thank you! If not, where would the Lord have you serve? Serving Him is an act of worship. The Lord has given each believer a spiritual gift (at least one) and in that gifting we are to give back to Him by serving. Do we really have a choice not to serve? If you are not sure what your spiritual gift(s) might be, you can take the Spiritual Gifts Assessment online at www.stonebriar.org [keyword: spiritual gifts inventory].

When speaking to someone who is serving in the right spot, you hear comments like, “I get more out of this than those I serve,”

“I feel better when I leave than when I started,” and “what a blessing this is for me.” Jesus gives us the perfect example of serving—He washed His disciples’ feet. He met people where their needs were. If our Lord and Savior gives the example of serving, shouldn’t we be serving?

There are many opportunities to serve at our church. One opportunity is serving as a guide on Sunday mornings—a person who greets and escorts visitors around the church campus to help them find classrooms and other rooms. What a vital role this is for those who walk through our doors for the first time! Another opportunity is with our parking team, which serves an important role in directing traffic and keeping the parking lot running smoothly. There are multiple opportunities to serve in our Children’s Ministry with our preteens and our youth. We have many ways for you to share your gifts.

An anthem is a “song of praise or gladness,” a fitting name for the Anthem Art Class where special needs artists worship the Lord through their talents. Under the

guidance of instructor Beth Cook and with one-on-one assistance from volunteers, people with special needs not only get to enjoy painting, but also reap its benefits.

“Being able to come in and sit with a volunteer and see the direction, there’s something between what their mind is seeing and what their hand can actually do in response to that, that I can’t explain,” said Meaghan Wall, pastoral leader of Special Needs. “Some students come in having never been able to hold a pencil or hold a paintbrush steady until they get in this environment and have that volunteer encourage them and have the teacher go through specific strokes. They’re able to concentrate and focus on one piece that they’ve never been able to do before.”

Every class begins with a lesson taught by class leader Morgan Taylor, a period of learning focused on different social skills that incorporates biblical topics and prayer. Each student is then paired with a volunteer who assists him or her with getting paint and keeping on task while building a relationship with the student. While the class assists in the development of the students both mentally and socially, it’s also a purely fun experience.

“I just enjoy doing the art, very relaxing,” shared Michael Bedow, a student in the class. “I just enjoy doing it, doing God’s work. Some paintings are harder, but hey, as long as you do your best.”

The idea for the class took shape in the summer of 2011. Taylor put forth the idea after seeing the benefits painting brought to her own special needs daughter. The class began with five students the first summer and has now grown to over 20 students.

”I never dreamed it could be this big. I thought we could have five or six Stonebriar kids, but we’re pulling kids from the community and non-Stonebriar church-goers,” Morgan said. “Stonebriar has just been amazing to embrace this.”

“Gift,” the name of our Special Needs Ministry, stands for God is faithful throughout —an idea that came from one of our families with special needs children. The hallway in which the classroom is located features a mural with the “Gift” logo. Beside the mural is a gallery of the students’ work, where every student gets the chance to display artwork he or she created in class.

The class has grown into such a success that it is used as a model. Such is the case with Lydia Asuluda, who was observing the class on behalf of Ageno, a Plano-based organization that ministers to individuals with special needs in the Kendu Bay Town area of Kenya, Africa. She hopes to bring a similar class to Kenya.

“Ageno means hope,” Lydia said. “I’m giving them hope. Because I want them to be in the community and just show the community how these individuals are valuable. Just because they have disabilities, God does not see them as less. They are as precious to Him as we are.”

Each fall, spring, and summer semester features an event where some of the students’ art is sold to help purchase supplies for the class and to raise money to send families to camp. The spring semester will be showcased by Special Needs Sunday on April 14, where 40 pieces of art will be for sale. Not only does this assist the ministry, it gives the students a sense of pride in their work. “They no longer wear a label that says special needs, they wear a label that says artist,” Morgan said. “And people say, ‘What do you do?’ ‘Well I’m an artist.’ And they show their paintings, they share their paintings, and they have something that is tangible that they’ve created. That’s an amazing thing.”

From a crumbling marriage, to an unfathomable killing spree; from the despair of death, to the

destruction of hope and dreams . . . tragedy occurs. Through the prism of our faith we may reconcile the pain by acknowledging that we are fallen people in a fallen world. A common echo from the faithful is “Where is our all-powerful, all-knowing, all-everything God in the midst of tragedy?” It’s a fair question. However, an equally fair question is “Where would we be without our all-powerful, all-knowing, all-everything God?”

Both questions tug at an inherent attribute of man. We desire to make sense of our world. Attempting to “make sense” of our world is not uniformly wrong. Pursuing the unknown to “make sense” of what we do not understand has changed the world. Where the struggle unfolds is when we need to make sense in order for us to be in control. Understanding for curiosity and understanding for control come from two distinctly different origins.At the risk of oversimplification, when tragedy occurs, there tends to be two

different responses. Man’s default response is to protect his need to understand by assigning blame. A second approach to understanding tragedy is to prayerfully search for how God restores and reclaims His people. It is important to know that this perspective does not diminish or discount the biblical necessity for grieving. Instead, it calls us to an even deeper biblical truth: that we are to grieve, but as one who has hope. Instead of stagnation and bitterness, the possibility of growth and joy are abundantly provided.

When tragedy occurs, we all have a choice in how we respond. Below are some encouraging passages of Scripture to help those dealing with tragedy in their lives.

1. Psalm 11: “In the Lord I take refuge . . .”

2. Psalm 46:1: “God is our refuge and strength…”

3. Psalm 91:1-2: “. . . my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.”

4. Psalm 94:22: “…the Lord has been my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.”

In each of these Psalms, the invitation to take refuge in God is the predominant message. 1 Peter 5:10 is a realistic and beautiful truth that acknowledges the suffering that often comes with tragedy, but also contains the promise of restoration and strength that our Christ provides.

Here are some tips for responding to tragedy in one’s life and the lives of others:

1. Be “present” with people or be present for people. Please do not attempt to make them “feel better” with pithy statements. Trust the Holy Spirit and just be with them.

2. Remember how God has blessed you in the past. He is the same now as He was before, and always will be. He hears your cries as He heard David in the wilderness. He has never left you and will restore you.

3. Keep an eternal perspective. Things always look different when viewed through the lens of eternity than through the lens of a fallen world.

4. Involve yourself in what we, in Care Ministries, call “capacity builders.” These are activities that give you the capacity or energy to keep strong in your faith. Fatigue is an opportunistic time for the enemy. Capacity builders include physical activity, proper nutrition, proper rest, work, timely healthcare, community involvement, journaling, or talking to a pastor, trusted friend, or professional counselor.

Scripture, as the very voice of God, reminds and reaffirms that God is our refuge. Following a tragedy, when we need to “make sense” again, return to our rock of truth, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
