Behind the Music: "Irresistible"
What groups do you think are least worthy of your time? What about unworthy of love? It’s natural for us to draw the line somewhere, but there’s no stopping the irrational love of Jesus.

How Do You Handle Criticism
One of the most common questions that I’m asked by young pastors is, “How do you handle the critics?” I’ve realized that no matter what a leader does, he or she will be criticized. For example, I’ve been criticized a lot for building the church around my preaching. When I started using more tea...

Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 4)
