RESET SUNDAY :: NO WORSHIP SERVICE DECEMBER 28, 2014
RESET SUNDAY :: NO WORSHIP SERVICE ON DECEMBER 28, 2014 Allow me to explain… That whole “it’s Church, but Different” isn’t a clever catch-phrase for us (it is a little “catchy” though, isn’t it?). And one of the more “different” things we do as a group is take some intentional days off… sabbaticals from our […]
Dear Person Who Vandalized Our Church Sign…
Dear (insert your name, person who vandalized our church sign last week), I feel compelled to tell you that our sign, much like our church, was largely unaffected by your decision to take our sign from its proper location, throw it in the street, and run over it with your vehicle. As you can see, the sign […]
Technical Difficulties Sunday!
For those of you that missed “Technical Difficulties Sunday” as our worship leader, Sean, so eloquently described it, you missed a wild time. I won’t bore you with a list of everything that either went wrong or created significant stress or delays, but I will say that we ended up clipping a worship song and […]
Fall 2014 Message Series
In September/October 2014, we’re going to spend some time in one of the most popular, yet most mysterious, letters the Apostle Paul ever wrote… Ephesians. Known as “The Epistle To The Ephesians,” this book of the New Testament is referred to as the “Queen” of the Apostle Paul’s writings. It’s popularity is due in part […]
Happy (Spartan) Father’s Day!
Pathmaker Men! We lead, we fight, we transform, and we finish. But we don’t give up. We run the race. We fight the good fight. We stumble, we fall, we fail, but we don’t stay down. We get back up, we forgive, we heal, we become better, and we let Him finish the good work […]
Invite someone to “The Original Blockbuster” this summer!
I’m excited about the next message series, one that will probably span several months. We will look at some of the greatest stories in the Bible and meet a variety of people in circumstances facing challenges of all kinds… and looking at God’s involvement in all of them. By the end of the series, I […]
Growing Roots
“Sugar and spice and everything nice… that’s what little girls are made of…” goes an old folk poem from the 19th century. Whatever. WOMEN(!) are made of ideas and thoughts, challenges and troubles, hopes and regrets, drama and joy, victories and dreams, complex emotions and simple desires (and vice versa)… most of all, we’re made in […]
The Original Blockbuster :: Sundays, All Summer Long
You know what they say about movies, right? “The movie was okay, but the book was way better…” You’ve said it, too, when your favorite book was turned into a movie. The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, The Hunger Games, The Hobbit, and the films from Jane Austin, Tom Clancy, or […]

… pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins…
He was antagonized. He was rejected. He was betrayed. He was arrested. He was mocked. He was insulted. He was beaten. He was tortured. He was killed. He was buried. But ultimately, He was resurrected. And He is coming back again soon. Best of all, because of Him, we are saved. It amazes me to […]
