    We have to set aside our sinful nature if we want to be united in Christ. We have to go back to the beginning of our Christian mission and purpose before we can move forward.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same. Sound familiar? In 1 Corinthians 1:10-17, Paul addresses a problem that still exists today. That problem is the lack of unity in the Christian church. The Corinthian Christians were divided into factions based on who had baptized them instead of ...read more

    Church is taking a bashing, but it was created and called for by God.

    We live in a time in the Western Church where people are seeing less and less value in attending church. They say that God is omnipresent and in our hearts so why can’t we just be part of the invisible church? Why can’t we be Digital Disciples and just watch ...read more

    The church is not called to be a museum of the like-minded—it is called to be a home for the broken, a family for the lonely, a refuge for the lost. And if that makes us uncomfortable—that’s the point!

    Go! And Welcome Everyone: The Gospel of Radical Hospitality Introduction – A Question That Opens the Door Let me start with a question: Who do you struggle to welcome? Is it the person who doesn’t fit your idea of “respectable”? The one who votes differently? Dresses differently? Worships ...read more
