We've concluded our crash course on Romans and I hope that you've found some value in going through this book that is so core to all the rest of the Bible. I can't encourage people enough to decide to become lifetime students of Romans. It will help as much as anything you can do to to dig a very deep foundation for your ...
Following Dave Ramsey’s “Life. Money. Hope.” I’m pumped – but cautious. Ramsey is beautifully relatable while being fully biblical and helpful. We are making the video series available to life Groups – watch them everyone! The Bible says wisdom is sweet to your soul like honey is sweet to the taste. ...
We might as well say it: we’re in a weird spot with more questions than answers at this point.
Edge growth at 11 is stuck for the time being. It’s prime time and we have filled it. Edge 9 has enabled us to move more people in and we should continue to do what we can do to fill it too. Then what? Where do we go in the ...
My Leadership “Signposts”
I’m not sure why I decided to call them by that name, but I have for the last several years. I counsel people all the time: when confused or in need of direction from God, always look BACK to the “signposts” –those times when you WERE clear and had direction from the Lord in a ...

A couple of years ago an architect who does a lot of work with churches looked at the Mall and made the case that seemed logical all along. . . nearly unlimited space AND parking. Hard to beat.

Some things to think about when deciding which service to go to this Easter Sunday. ...

In this case – “do I really look AND sound like that?” To me I looked grim and overweight. Not sure if the ...
I’m still on the after-burn of Vision Day. It is always SO life and faith affirming when God does that special “thing’ He does.
It’s made me wonder about a lot of things: one is – why did we have about 200 - 300 more people than average that day? Was it because of Palm Sunday? Was it the meal at the mall? Was it the idea of a “vision day”? It also has me wondering what God is up to.
On one hand, I often have a confidence that ...
