Real Community – where Jesus stamps us “redeemed” not “right”
we have been called since the moment of our creation to live in community and to work things out together
Happy Monday! It’s going to be a great week!
both of us (Rebekah in her preaching and me in my writing) will continue to share the beauty and the healing and the promise that is the invitation of Jesus!
Don’t pass up this invitation
I received a tradition from the Lord, which I also handed on to you: on the night on which he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus…
where faith and family come together!

faith expressed, faith taught, faith experienced

when the church youth dub their advisors with “wrestler names”
...capes and masks, strutting around, making faces, talking trash, showing the kind of enthusiasm, love, and commitment the gospel always brings out when we let Jesus be our guide.
God: “Now that’s what I’m talking about!”

Worship, community, power, and the “secret identity” of Jesus
I don't care if you're a teenager in school, a business-owner, retired, a stay at home parent, or the pastor of a large congregation, the choice to spend an hour or so in church on a Sunday morning is a simple decision with deep implications.
How church is a “can’t miss” element of faith
"There is no community, no growing together in faith, no reaching out in mission, no real encouragement, and no accountability watching Osteen (or some other preacher) on TV..."
Being church in the wake of Sutherland Springs: are we on the defensive, or still God’s open invitation?
So who are we? Are we an invitation... or a barrier... or a lighthouse... or a gatekeeper... or a discouragement... or an ambassador...?
