my story

a new series has begun and much preparation has gone into "my story." We’ve been working for a good month and half on planning, filming, editing, refilming, further editing, etc on the videos we will be showing this month during the worship on Sunday mornings.  we began the journey toward Easter a few weeks ago [...]

the father

This is the week I have been longing for in the Journey Home. We explore the character and nature of the Father and we begin to unpack a small piece of what His heart is about. The tendency is to laser in on the younger son or the older son as we have done over [...]

read below first

you will want to read the previous post before this post. But once you are done with that, here is the follow up from Greg Gilbert at Church Matters. Read over these questions and let me know how they strike you. Some are quite challenging. So I think music is a good thing, even a [...]

On Worship

The following was written by Greg Gilbert and Church Matters, and I don’t have the time to do all the link stuff right now, so I am copying and pasting. All the credit goes to him is what I’m saying and what follows is a clear presentation of several generations of people right now and [...]

The older brother placed "home" in a box of four walls that included rites, regulations and order. [...]

Feb. 10th

After we played "Still Haven’t Found What I’m looking for" at the 11.00 service, I said something like, "Thank you, I know it was no [...]

where to begin

Let me preface by saying I’m still processing a lot right now. When God begins speaking, I often feel overwhelmed for days at a time just trying to figure out how to respond to all that is He is saying. Confession and repentance. That’s where we are headed this week with the series "The Journey [...]
