It is regularly assumed that those who focus on the preaching ...read more

    Look at who Jesus was anointed to minister to in Luke 4:18. Are you on that list?

    Luke 4 shows us some things the Holy Spirit does in Jesus’ ministry. In fact, Luke talks about the Holy Spirit twelve times in the first four chapters of the gospel, and then suddenly he stops talking about the Holy Spirit. He is only mentioned four more times in the entire rest of the gospel. ...read more

    Jesus was sent by the Father and Jesus then sent His disciples. How does Jesus’ calling connect with the church’s calling? How does God use the unique character of a local church to impact its community for the gospel?

Our mission, why we are here and what we should be doing, is not something that we come up with ourselves. Who is the head of this church. It’s not me. It’s not Rick Tobias. ...read more
