Where’d You Go?...

In a word – nowhere…but everywhere. We are on the cusp of announcing and then getting buy-in on where we are headed as a church. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am about the adventure that God is about to take us on. We have been in transition for the past eighteen months (more...

Do You Believe you are the Light of the ...

The struggle about light comes in the actually believing that we are the light of the world. Most messages and sermons remind us of how we are not much of a Light at all. Most messages intend to inspire us to become more like Christ yet often we are left with a feeling of not being good enough or just...

What is up with the weather these days? I am trying to stay optimistic, believing we have lots of summer left, therefore lots of time for the HOT HOT HOT weather to come and then another week goes by and it’s cold and rainy.

The Juicy Details From My First Time Pre...

So I just wanted to let you know that my first time ever preaching on Sunday Night was great. After I knew that I knew that I knew that I had the message that God wanted me to share the rest came easy. Sunday I left the house around 3pm. Jason made me some beautiful slides for the screens and the title...

Minimalist...

When it comes to design, I always knew I had a bend toward being a minimalist. Here is a shot of my new office. I think I am taking this design trend a bit too far.
