Hit The Reset Button :: No Gathering Memorial Day Sunday

If you’re a regular at Pathmakers, you probably already know about “Reset Sundays” and how it all works.  If you’re new to Pathmakers, you probably have NO IDEA what we’re talking about.  Allow me to explain… About three times a year, we have what we call “Reset Sundays.”  On Reset Sundays, we cancel our main […]

When Jesus moved in…

The Bible teaches that God wants to live with us.  More than that, God wants to live in us.  The Apostle Paul calls us “the Temple of the Holy Spirit.”  And that when we commit to following Jesus, God makes His home in us.  In a sense, Jesus moves in.  What does that look like? […]

The Parable Of The Good Samaritan and “Neighboring”

The Parable of the Good Samaritan found in Luke 10:25-37 is one of the most famous of Jesus’ parables.  Artists have been inspired to create masterpieces reflecting the impact of the story, like the one here by Vincent Van Gogh.  The parable was Jesus’ answer to a question posed to him about what it meant […]

Men’s Ministry that men actually enjoy…

The Spartans of Pathmakers

Growing up in the church as a pastor’s kid, I had unique access to something most church attending adults and probably zero church attending kids had access to:  the inside conversations between pastors.  For better (and usually for worse), I had an awareness of the frustrations and challenges most pastors face in their ministry.  One […]

Built On Tragedy :: How Jesus Taught His Followers To Handle The Worst

What does the Bible say about tragedy? First the bad news… God warns us that there will be tragedy in our lives. But that’s not where His words on tragedy end… and that’s the good news. Follow along with Pathmakers Church teaching team leader, Joe Meverden, for a look at what Jesus had to say […]

It’s Church, But Different! Find out how and why…

That line we use “It’s Church, but Different” is not a clever catch phrase.  Frankly, it’s not all that catchy and it definitely isn’t clever.  All it is is simple truth from a simple church that simply wants to be the kind of gathering of Christ-followers that… well… Jesus Christ intended us to be.  Don’t […]

They Had Been With Jesus…

They Had Been With Jesus – Spring 2013 – Message Series To many Christians, the original Apostles can seem like superheroes. They were there to witness the miracles of Jesus. They even did miracles themselves. They were witnesses to the most important events of human history, the death and resurrection of Jesus. And they were […]

Scripture, Straight Up (Spring 2013) Men’s Study

Hey gents, We have a morning study for guys this winter/spring where we’re going to dive into the so-called Pastoral Letters (1, 2 Timothy, Titus… and we’ll add Philemon for good measure).  No commentaries, no books, no study guides, no pre-printed Bible studies… just us, our Bibles, and each other.  Not that those other things […]

Good News, Bad News, and More Good News

Okay… so, the good news is that a lot of people said the message today was really, really good. Which is nice, because I was concerned that it would fall flat.  That does happen sometimes.  But, in fact, apparently it was great… Which brings us to the bad news… the message didn’t get recorded so […]

Tim Tebow, Jesus Christ, and the biggest problem they have in common…

You don’t have to be a Colorado sports fan to know about Tim Tebow.  If for some reason you don’t know about this outspoken Christian who took the Denver Broncos from local embarrassments to international sensations during the 2011-2012 NFL season, please, by all means, look at this link or you’ll have no idea what […]
