Wow…Grand Opening…Wow (Not the building – God)

That’s about all I can say – wow. We helped design the building so that people would say “wow.” We wanted people to be intrigued by the outside and come inside. We wanted people to walk in and feel at home and desire to stay a while and build community. And today we saw all of that happen. But we …

Spirit and Truth

After the message on Sunday on worship, Amanda and I had to jet to Columbia because she was singing in a concert. But I did get to steal away for a moment and do what I promised to do: I sought God and asked Him was He pleased in worship today? As I prayed and allowed the Holy Spirit to …

If Only You Would Have Listened to Me…

So, I gave a pretty exhausting testimony/message at North Side on Sunday. It had to do with my relationship with my dad and God teaching me what forgiveness truly means.
