TGIF!
Thank God It’s Friday! And He did this to save us… From Mark 15:1-20 (NLT). “Very early in the morning the leading priests, the elders, and the teachers of religious law—the entire high council—met to discuss their next step. They bound Jesus, led him away, and took him to Pilate, the Roman governor. Pilate asked […]
Easter :: the story like you’ve never heard before…
The Bible isn’t the only place you can find out about what Jesus did, how He died, and the almost-over-night-explosion of people claiming to have seen Jesus resurrected from the dead. It’s true! A handful of contemporary sources cite both the Man and the Movement that worshiped him as God and spread the Good […]
We’ll drink a cup of kindness here, for Auld Lang Syne…
“The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.” This is a verse from a short, beautiful, and misunderstood song written by the prophet Jeremiah. Jeremiah is called “the weeping prophet” as the later portion of his ministry occurred after the last good […]
No Worship Service Labor Day Sunday (and why that’s a good thing!)
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 […]

…coming September 2013 to Pathmakers… The story of Jonah, found in the Hebrew Old Testament, is among the most debated passages of Scripture in the entire Bible. Some scholars argue it is purely allegorical, maybe a didactic fable or nursery rhyme for children, or, at best, an embellished narrative about a prophet who lived in […]

Men’s Ministry that men actually enjoy…
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 […]
This might be the least uplifting message in the world…
Click here to listen. Keep in mind, I didn’t say boring. I didn’t say irrelevant. I didn’t say “waste of time.” I didn’t say “unhelpful” or anything like that. Just… “least uplifting.” Yet I can’t shake the feeling that a lot of Christians need to hear it. I could be wrong.
