Have you ever walked into a room and at that moment it seemed like all eyes were on you? I can remember those awkward times in college when someone would walk into class late and they would have to make that walk of shame to their seat. Everyone was secretly asking, “Wonder why they are [...]

Measurements

I spent some time this week speaking to our youth about burdens. Burdens are those things we carry around with us throughout our lives that bog us down. They are things we’ve picked up along the way, hurtful words, ungodly habits, negative ideas and thoughts. They are things the enemy is desperate to get into [...]

Just Let Go

There is a moment that comes for all of us when we are in the process of making a decision. Now, I’m not talking about little stuff like which banana bunch to select, which gas station to pick, or what you’re going to have to eat that night. I am talking about decisions that matter, [...]

Decisions

The other day I was at a service where a little girl prayed. She was a kindergartener I believe. Super cute. It was so sweet hearing her tiny voice in a microphone. Here recently my daughter has really gotten bold in praying for our dinners. She makes us hold hands and then she sounds off [...]

The Sound of You

Jeremiah 29:11. The official verse of graduation. Even though it is used all the time, it is still a great verse. Here’s what it says in the ESV: “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. [...]

Faith in Me

Something that nobody likes is waiting. Especially Americans. Especially me. Waiting is hard to do but we do it a lot. Traffic. Restaurants. Lines at Walmart. I really don't get that last one because of the ten thousand check out stations but the three checkers. We wait for a lot of things and waiting is [...]

Waiting

So last night at First Wednesday service, Pastor Chuck, our senior pastor, talked a moment about how many youth were present and really engaging God through worship and just really bragged on them for a moment. He talked about how strong our youth ministry was and how people’s lives were bing changed. It was awesome [...]

Lead Well

Have you watched tv in the last month or two? If you have, then I want you to know you have been targeted.  How? Listen to this research from the Western Journal of Medicine: “Analyses of broadcast media content indicate that, on average, teenaged viewers see 143 incidents of sexual behavior on network television at [...]

Be Pure

Have you ever gotten lost? I remember the first time I went to New York City. It was with my wife  on our honeymoon and I can remember us walking around the city, going from sight to sight, figuring out which trains to take, trying to navigate the city. If you’ve never been to New [...]

Maps

I was sitting in my senior pastor’s office one day and we were talking about issues that he had brought to my attention. Multiple times each month I sit down with him and just talk about life and ministry and anything in between. It really gives me a chance to address issues that might come [...]
