Travis Agnew A Field of Crops In another illustration of the church, Paul identified the church as a field of crops. Paul was seen as the planter, and Apollos watered the garden that Paul planted. More than solely evangelism, Paul had founded that specific church in Corinth. Apollos spiritually watered the church by continually discipling the members by teaching them the truths …
I wanted to recap Easter morning at North Side earlier this week, but since we left for Submerge an hour after the last service, I was kind of unable to catch up in the blogosphere. So here, goes: I haven’t received the official count for Sunday, but I believe we had approximately 2,000 adults come and worship with us on …
It is the last full day of camp at Submerge. Here’s some highlights: Last night, we had many people at the conference center, hear the music, and wander into our worship service. Even a few hung out with some of our leaders last night, and we got to share what we are about. There is a cardiologist convention above us …
Wow. We have done the opening day and now (Tuesday), the first full day of camp! Everything has gone great at camp. It’s Wednesday morning and camp is going so smoothly, it makes me a little uneasy. I think it is honestly because we have such a great team of people putting on Submerge and a great bunch of students. …
After three Easter Sunday morning services, we are taking a small team to set up Submerge student camp in Myrtle Beach before the load of students come in on Monday! We are so excited about the week. It will be very busy, but we are praying that God does something great in our midst in these days. Check back at …
This morning was incredible. Members from North Side joined together at 6:30 (that’s in the AM, people) to pray for our city. I was amazed for many different reasons – so I shall share with you faithful readers: The fact that you got up to pray at 6:30am. No preaching, no songs, just prayer – and God moved (imagine that?!). …
The Buildings The authors of the New Testament also record different building imagery for the church. While they never viewed the church as a specific building, the authors did use buildings as illustrations to explain the theological implications of the church. First, Paul described the church as a simple building. In this discourse, Paul’s logical flow of thought shows that …
4. While unbelievers can’t worship, they can watch believers worship. We see this truth lived out in Acts 2. “They worshiped together regularly at the Temple each day, met in small groups in homes for Communion, and shared their meals with great joy and thankfulness, praising God. The whole city was favorable to them, and each day God added to …
Your pregnancy: 33 weeks How your baby’s growing:This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple – which by the way the picture to the left could be one of the scariest pictures I have ever seen) and has passed the 17-inch mark. He’s rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The …
Today, we finished up the Balance series at North Side. I finished with a message entitled “The Rest of You.” As we studied the church in Laodicea in Revelation 3, we saw that the people there were a lot like us. They were lukewarm. They were too far from the source. And when we find ourselves deep in sin or …
