A Never-Ending Cycle - Judges 2

Tonight we break down the vicious cycle Israel repeated for roughly 300 years during the time of the Judges.

First they would forsake the Lord, then be oppressed by foreigners, go into distress, and finally be delivered by the Lord.

Does your life copy this pattern? Listen in on this lesson to see where you fit and what to do about it.

Never Lose Focus On The Mission - Judges 1

Have you ever lost focus on a plan, dream, or goal? That's exactly what happened to Israel once they entered the Promised Land and Joshua's generation died off.

Just like this picture, we can lose focus too.

This week we start a new series in the book of Judges and get focused on God's mission for us as WE have entered the 'Promised Land'.

Accept One Another - Romans 14

This week we continue our study in Romans with a timely topic: acceptance.

With our current culture that preaches 'accept everything', what things should Christians accept and not accept?

This lesson was done at our Wednesday midweek service & then preached again at the following Sunday service (with a little more juice!).

Both recordings are below for you to listen to and grow from.

Just a little over a year ago, Venita Owens was baptized into Christ.

Today, her husband Frank joined her! (they had to keep him under a little longer than usual to be sure all the sin was gone! :-)

Jose Palacios' 50th Birthday!

This was one of the funnest parties I've been to in a loooong time.

My father (father-in-law) Jose turned 50 this week and we celebrated "Steelers" style!

Do You Know What A Minister Does?

Today I had the chance to go to my son's Kindergarten class and tell the kids what I do.

It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be to explain ministry to 6 year olds.

When they found out, one of them said I didn't have a "real job"! What in the world?!

Anyway, check out the video because kids say the craziest things sometimes including "Jesus freed the elves" and "when people don't love, you have to use pepper spray".

The Jesus Dare!

Each Spring and Fall we hold an evangelistic campaign. Of course we're always evangelizing as disciples of Christ, but 2x/yr we get unified about our evangelistic efforts.

This Spring our campaign is titled "The Jesus Dare". If you've ever seen the movie "Fireproof" then you're familiar with the "Love Dare". Well, our campaign is similar in that each day in March there's a dare we're taking to be more like Jesus (you can sign up to get the dares here).

If you feel that your evangelism is weak, I "dare" you to join us in this campaign!

Are You An Impostor? - 2 Tim 3

In Paul's last days on Earth, he wrote 2Timothy from prison to encourage and warn Timothy in the midst of opposition. He also told him to have nothing to do with people who have a form of godliness, but deny it's power.

But how could he avoid them if he couldn't tell who they were? Fact is, there's a lot of people who take the title of "Christian" but don't live it out in their lives and it makes it hard to tell who's who.


Don't add to the confusion by being an impostor yourself! :-)

Listen to this lesson and ask yourself "Am I An Impostor"?
