    God is the one who invites us, meets us and engages us in worship. It is also God who receives our worship. Look at this story in John 4 through the lens of worship.

    Isn’t it amazing how God layers truth upon truth within the Biblical text? Today, I invite you to see one truth from John 4. This is not to to suggest that this is the only truth, or necessarily the highest truth. But I believe you will see it certainly is a truth. As we read through this text from ...read more

    One in a series on Rick Warren’s Purpose-Driven Life book. Our mission is to drive with others toward a destination. But between invitation and destination there is hesitation, born of diversion, dissension, and dissipation.

    People who are on a mission move; people who are on a mission let nothing stop them. They are not distracted by side issues, they focus all their energies on getting their mission accomplished. People who are on a mission do whatever it takes to get to their goal. But people who are not on a ...read more
