Message Support: "How Sweet The Sound"
In many ways, hymns are the oral history of our faith. Like the Psalms in Scripture, they are passed from generation to generation, sung in cathedrals, chapels, or around a family piano. Every generation has its anthems, and while we continue to sing to Him new songs to this day, sometimes the timel...

Meaningful and Organized: Baptism Weekends at Life.Church
Baptism is one of the most memorable moments in the life of a believer. They’ve made the decision to follow Christ, and they’re ready to show the world what God has done.

Riding the Wave
I pray God blesses your ministry at some point with what some call “the wave.” The wave is when God seems to do more than you can handle! During the wave, your buildings aren’t big enough, you can’t hire fast enough, and you’re just hanging on for dear life. Just remember: ●You don’t crea...

When the Wave Dies Down
Waves come and waves go. When God blesses your ministry with a wave of impact and growth, you’ll be wise not to expect it to last forever. (If it does, you’ll be an exception—not the rule.) If the wave slows, don’t try to recreate it. Those who continue to keep doing what used to work, generall...

The Beginning of Multi-site
Innovation happens where passion meets constraints. At first, it's a strange concept, but we've found that when you're backed up against a wall, you come up with some of your most ingenious solutions. For us, being constrained by a budget and a growing congregation forced us to think about alternati...

Does the Size of Your Church Matter? (Part 2)
Someone told me, “I love your church, but it is just too big for me.” Their statement raises some questions: • When is a church just the right size? Is 12 just right? How about 120? Maybe 3,000? • When does a church become too big? Is there a magic number? Is it when all the people can no long...

Be Good at Something Different
In ministry, most churches and leaders try to be good at what everyone else is good at doing. We’re all trying to improve our preaching, youth groups, kids’ curriculum, worship, environments, and countless other areas. The problem is that we’re not all blessed with the same gifts, and we're not...

Design Philosophy in Kids Ministry
