The Phases of My Faith

When God wants to change my life, he changes my perspective. As He reframes the way I see the world around me, I start to think and act differently. When it comes to my faith, three phases stand out as particularly formative in the continuing journey of becoming who God has created me to be. Ph...

Message Support: "What Would Jesus Undo"

In Jesus’ time on Earth, He wasn’t interested in token gestures. He didn’t care about outward behavior.

Message Support: "I Want to Believe, But..."

In this four week series, we'll look at some of the barriers that keep people from believing in God. It’s often difficult to believe in a God we cannot see. We wonder why God didn’t answer our prayers, why God allows suffering, or why we can’t feel His presence. God may not meet all your expec...

Several pastors have complained to me that most people in their churches are not generous. I’m guessing that the churches are a reflection of its leaders. If our ministries aren’t generous, it is probably because we aren’t either. Several years ago, God started moving our family toward a muc...
