Yesterday Terri, our office manager, sent out an e-mail to our church asking for people to finish this sentence, “God gave me hope when…”. We are going to read several of these stories this weekend.
Some of the “Hope Highlights” include…
”God gave me hope when I was going through a divorce and all my children gathered [...]

I’ve blogged several times about the importance of creating a high-impact, excellent worship experience – because our God deserves it and people are looking for it!

I believe that the team that learns and laughs together will work better together! So, our management team (the pastors and the Director of Operations) is intentional about learning and laughing together… regularly.
Learning – every month a different member of the management team picks a book to study for the month. We all read the book and [...]

This weekend we’re launching a new series “What Do You Want?”
We will be talking about four gifts that Jesus offers:
1) Hope
2) Peace
3) Joy
4) Love
So this weekend I’m talking about “Hope.” Here’s a thought…
Hope is not static; it’s dynamic. It changes as life changes and yet one part of it stays the same… we always [...]

Hey church,
I believe that we should always have a back up plan, and I have one.
We have just hired Anthony Hoisington to lead our 18-30 service @ the south campus, and to lead the Saturday night, and Sunday 11:00 worship services @ our north campus, but… in case he doesn’t work out we have Wally.

Last night I watched the American Music Awards, and I’ve gotta tell you… I was impressed. (PLEASE, if you’re easily offended, DO NOT CONTINUE TO READ THIS POST OTHERWISE A BITTER, OFFENSIVE VIRUS WILL EXPLODE YOUR HARD DRIVE & YOUR HEAD!!!)
Here’s the crazy truth… I can understand why people would rather go to the AMAs [...]

What would happen if every church decided to:
1) Provide the BEST weekend experience!
2) Be the BEST place to serve – paid and unpaid!
3) Be the BEST place for people to give their resources to? (e.g. time and money).
And what would happen if the church was filled with Divine energy and consistently creating drawing environments?

This coming weekend we’re going to be talking about the confidence that we have as a consequence of our Leader’s (i.e. Jesus) promise to return.
The big question I have is, “Why do we get dorky when we talk about the second coming?” Why do we pull out charts, maps, and use big words to describe [...]
