Worship is all about God. Whenever we serve in a manner to get attention for ourselves, we are attempting to rob God of his glory. People who are called to lead others in worship must be bent on leading humbly before God and his people. In the humility department of leading worship, I believe 3 things are absolutely key: Genuine Faith – …
This second week in the “Dear God” series we heard Jeff’s 2nd prayer for our church: “Dear God, make us one.” In a church, truth, convictions, and preferences are always present. Unfortunately, we normally focus on our preferences or convictions more than we do the truth. If our church is truly to become one, we must lay aside our preferences …
One question: what’s keeping most churches from experiencing true unity today? On your mark, get set, go.
As the United States soccer team was eliminated from the World Cup, America must wait another 4 years to impress the world with our skills. An interesting set of 4 games that they played still had them losing in the first knockout round. Americans don’t like to lose. America’s reputation is often that we think we are the best …

In his message, Jeff preached on the need for discipline within a local church body. To his admittance, he stated that the concept of church …

Maybe it was that and a lot more. The show’s viewership dropped 50% from 2006 (50.6 million) to 2010 (24.5 million). Can it be saved from such a …
You know those moments. It’s those times when you wish the song wouldn’t come to a close. It’s those times you feel like you are going just to be caught up into glory. It’s those times when you choose to worship when everything isn’t alright. It’s those times when no one is around to impress, and you just get after …
We concluded the New Testament 101 series today with another great Sunday @ North Side! I snapped this picture in between services of two of the most dedicated team members anyone could ever ask for. David Hjalmers runs sound most Sundays and is dependable and encouraging as they come. Jessica Griffith Wolfe, serves as my assistant on staff, and she …
