This month’s core worship value: Humility – leading with perspective This week’s worship training one-liner: The cure for lethargic worship is a good memory. In Psalm 30, David expresses praise to God based upon his faithfulness in the past. What’s interesting about this psalm is that the title infers that this was written for the dedication of the temple. Only …
I can’t begin to sum up into words what happened last night at the Greenwood Community Theatre. Churches united under the umbrella of Emerald City Worship. I was asked by a man last week who would be delivering the message that night. I had a great response for him five minutes after that conversation. We would be offering the message. …
That’s right. I’m calling you out, week. The week of Sept. 13-19, 2009, you are going to try to take me down, but you have been misinformed. Christ in me, the hope of glory. I will survive. The Holy Spirit lives in me, and I will not be shaken. If I do waver this week, no worries – I have …
Humility – leading with perspective True worship isn’t supposed to lift us up, it is supposed to bring us facedown. As we are going through this series on end times at North Side, I wanted to focus on some worship passages from Revelation. So rich. In Revelation 4, the Apostle John sees a vision of heaven in which the 24 …

With the growing needs, I need volunteers to come to practice on Wednesday evening and Sunday morning. If you can’t be there on Wednesday, …
A lot of exciting stuff is going on in my world right now. Very exciting times with some things coming to a close and other things just beginning. Thought I’d give you an update on some of them: Light at the End of the Seminary Tunnel – My approved draft of my dissertation is due September 1 to graduate in …
The “You Asked for It” series has been unbelievable this summer. Many churches talk about a loss of corporate momentum through a summer slump as attendance varies from week to week, and people’s interest just seems to wane. Having our church members submit their questions through the blog and be answered from the pulpit has definitely kept people perked up. …
That’s right people – it is officially Christmas in July. I have been spending some time with the band and in the studio doing some pre-production for a North Side Christmas album! We have not nailed down the complete list just yet, but we are getting closer. The album will have half full band tracks and the other half will …
I have heard more questions about the song “Beautiful” the last two weeks at North Side than any other song in a long time. Just so you know, I post the songs and artists each week on my blog so that you know how to get a song you like. Phil Wickham wrote the song “Beautiful.” I had heard him …
