Tonight I went to the youth service at Ambridge Christian Center. What a blast! I was able to lead some games with the teens and got a good laugh watching them wrap each other in toilet paper!! I really enjoy the opportunities I get to help out there for a couple reasons. One, I’ve known [...]
Divine Appointments
Posted in Church on February 13, 2008 | 3 Comments »
One of the coolest things about working with a number of different church plants is getting a front row seat to watch God at work. I have experienced more ‘God-Moments’ and divine appointments in the last few months than I have experienced in a long time. It’s incredible to see how God will have people [...]
Manic Monday – New Location
Posted in Manic Mondays, tagged Creative Ministry Idea, Manic Monday, New Church Location on February 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Well, here we are again – another Manic Monday!! This week is a great idea only if it’s pulled off right. Let me explain. Often through our preaching or our services we are trying to convey some important point. That can be challenging people to reach their neighborhoods for Christ or to get involved in [...]

Destiny is such an interesting topic. Some would argue that our destiny (God) controls our lives and we really don’t have any control over what happens.

Whining vs. Wearing

As leaders we are all guilty of occasionally stepping back and whining about our situation. It happens to the best of us! One interesting thing that takes place when we do this, though, is we separate ourselves from the very situation we are complaining about. This can be good momentarily. But in complaining we aren’t [...]

Manic Monday-Just Say No
Posted in Manic Mondays, tagged Church, Just Say No, Ministry on February 4, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This week’s creative ministry idea isn’t really all that creative, although it is abnormal and really rather difficult to pull off. It is something that we all hate to do (for some really odd reason). It is increasing the frequency we use two little letters: ‘N-O‘. Try it sometime. Just say no. Everyone has a [...]
