Mourning a City Celebration

This Sunday we began a series on evolution / creation. There are two basic premises in the debate. One that Evolution exist, there is no God, and therefore there is no one to be accountable to, we can do and should what ever we desire. We are our own, and no one should tell us [...]

Disingenuous Evangelism

Fulfilling the Great Commission…… What does it all mean? Simply put, Christian evangelism is when we share our faith with others. There are a ton of techniques & ways to share Jesus Christ.

C.J. points out first in many practical ways to, “daily, diligently, and deliberately weaken our greatest enemy (pride) and cultivate our [...]

I must say its been a struggle for me in understanding the perspective of Mark Driscoll, it is something that has me wrestling a great deal lately. There is a part of me that understands in a sense where Mark Driscoll is coming from and then at the same time, well let’s dive in to [...]

God in a Bottle ?

“God in a Bottle ?” Last night I was privileged to be able to lead a shepherding group in my home. There has been another brother within our congregation who has not been able to meet due to various other trials and I volunteered to host his group which I’ve been a part of the [...]
