I have been reading through the book ‘Radical‘ by David Platt.  He’s one of the youngest preacher I’ve seen that has a grasp of what’s going on in the world.  For being such a young man he seems to carry with him a gravity of the situation of lost souls and the “Radical” call that [...]

It has been one crazy summer, things have seemed a bit more dis-jointed than normal, perhaps an understatement as we see our country fall apart, the church at large has shared in it’s share of trials as well.

As you can tell from the picture, we all looked a little out of it Saturday morning.  From Left to right, Tim Juhnke, Bill Bonham, me, Marie Drown, Frank Drown, and Darrell DeGreve.

I have always been always a little wary of [...]

Expository message giving an example of Christians moving back into a city. The videos are about 10 minutes a piece. I’m not big on the new phraseology of “Missional” however I am seeing its point. It’s difficult to scale the language barrier as I can see that some words are modifying and changing to have [...]
