A Prayer: Submit Yourself to God
This excerpt is from the series "A Way Out." Many of us are familiar with the phrase "resist the devil and he will flee," but we overlook the sentence that precedes it in James: "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil and he will flee." Submit to God daily in prayer; when you're submitt...

What the Church Should Learn from Google
Most of us would say Google is pretty big. Eighteen years after it launched its search engine, it is one of the top 10 most well-known brands in the world. But despite how big it’s become, Google’s leaders continue to think bigger. Instead of looking back at what they’ve accomplished, they look ou...

Pastors, Anxiety, and Burnout
From the outside, we as pastors and church leaders probably seem like we have it all together. God’s calling is on our lives, and we’re doing the most important work in the world.

Avoid Promises
When God is blessing you with more than you can handle, I’d suggest you avoid making rash promises. I have seen many pastors make promises during times of blessing only to later eat their words (or be bound by a promise they wish they’d never made). ●We’ll never do a fundraiser! ●We’ll ne...

Good Social Media or a Prideful Heart?
We know God opposes the proud. But some forms of social media seem to have redefined what pride is and what it’s not. For example: Imagine if I stood before our church and repeated things I had heard others say: “Joe Smith said, ‘Pastor Craig, you are the best preacher ever! Your sermons change...

Keeping Experiences Consistent Across Multiple Campuses
We believe that excellence honors God and inspires people. So as a multi-site church with more than 30 physical locations on a weekend, consistency and clarity must be the building blocks of excellence. For the most part, every service at Life.Church flows almost exactly the same at each locati...

Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 4)
I love small businesses. I bought my only television from a local, small business. They delivered it, set it up, and called a week later to see how I liked it. Great service. I decided to get a second television so I could watch football while my kids watched whatever reality show they watch. S...

Message Support: Jentezen Franklin
This is a one-week message about being all God has called us to be. It takes faith beyond ourselves to believe we can do incredible things, and it takes a power beyond ourselves to do them. In the right hands, the ordinary can be extraordinary. Join us this weekend to see how a simple twig can be mo...

Micro Churches, Mega Vision
I love to challenge myself to think about things from a different perspective, especially things I’ve taken at face value. For years, when people referenced our church, Life.Church, as a megachurch, I never gave the term a second thought: I simply thought it meant a big church. Upon more reflection,...
