Happy Saturday. I wanted to encourage you to make sure you make it to North Side tomorrow for the new sermon series, “What Happens in Vegas.” I have been anticipating this sermon series for over 32 months. In a brainstorming session back in the summer of 2006, the idea for this series was mentioned. We all loved the idea, but …
After all of my scholarly reading and my theological writing that I have embarked upon over the last few months, I have finished the first draft of chapter 3 and I only have one theological phrase to utter: woo hoo! I am currently listening to Crowder’s “We Win!” blaring in my home office and getting jacked up! Finishing this chapter …

Calvin Miller stated, “In order to build a true team spirit, you must delegate accountability and glory as well as responsibility.” Jesus built a great team since he did all of those three items extremely well. …
The last Sunday of 2008. Wow. What a year. It was great to be able to tickle the ivories and lead in worship this Sunday. It seems like every week, I hear people singing out more and more! That’s so exciting. I truly believe God was honored with what happened today! We worshiped to the following songs: Joy to the …
I hope Yuletide bliss bit you severely over the last few days. As I am enjoying a restful day with the family, I have a few Christmas reflections: I am so thankful for Immanuel (Jesus came to us to live with us)! The Christmas Eve service was a blast. I saw a lot of guests in our crowded auditorium: come …
