Gods at War
Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm starting 11/12 [vimeo url=”http://vimeo.com/40604746″ title=”0″ fs=”0″ portrait=”0″ autoplay=”1″] There are gods at war within each of us. They battle for the throne of our hearts, and much is at stake. This is why idolatry is the most discussed problem in the entire Bible. Behind every sin struggle that you and I have is a false god that is winning the war in our lives. Don’t give in to the myth that gods are only statues that…

This Is NOT What I Expected
Have you ever come to a point in a job, a relationship, your marriage, with your children, your first semester or planting a church when you wake up one day and say, “This is NOT what I expected?” This must have been how the disciples felt at their last celebration of Passover with Jesus. They were convinced that He was the Messiah and would soon be crowned King. They had been talking among themselves for weeks about their place in…
Only Now at the End
There’s not much good about growing old except the advantage of historical perspective. Some people call it wisdom but most of the time it’s just that we know a bunch of stuff that doesn’t work (because we’ve tried and failed). However, the longer I walk with the Lord the easier it becomes to believe and trust. Not because the challenges are less but rather that God has proven himself faithful in the past and sufficient for my need. I love…
The Greatest Miracle of Azusa
The Azusa Street Revival that began on April 9, 1906 is considered by most church historians to be the genesis of the modern-day Pentecostal movement. Life magazine and the USA Today have listed the Azusa Street Revival as being one of the top 100 nation impacting events of the 20th century.

The Favor of God
The commercialization of the “Blessing of God” has become a multi-million dollar business that extends from the pulpit, to books, to television and to online media. The promoters of this other gospel have capitalized on our insatiable appetite for wealth and possessions and have put forth an ideology that is the American Dream with a supernatural spin. This gospel not only promises material wealth and success but also physical health and a pain-free life. It offers an all powerful genie-like…
A Pentecost Reflection
One of the things I love about the Scriptures is that they speak to me where I’m living. As I read the account of the Pentecost in Acts chapter 2 I was drawn to different passages as though they were highlighted. While I have to work at reading the Scripture though lenses that include all of the Bible and that recognize its first audience, it’s much easier for me to view it through the perspective of my life. As a…
