Last week my friend Jay Hardwick wrote a PHENOMENAL blog about how each and every single person *can* play a crucial role not only in the Sunday service, but the life and future of the church. With his permission, here's his totally ripped-off blog post, adjusted for our church: Over the last several weeks, we’ve seen a [...]
I know it's the third week in a row, but here's the last explanation: Monday's post will be a combination of thoughts from Sunday at Trinity New Life Church and leftovers from the notes from my sermons. Ok, here we go: Let's start with the big one: yesterday was the second-largest Sunday in Trinity New [...]
It's only the second week (but in a row!), so here's the deal: Monday's post will be a combination of thoughts from Sunday at Trinity New Life Church and leftovers from the notes from my sermons. I pray your grace and mercies as I get back in to the swing of this regular writing thing! [...]
Ok, here's the deal- I did this forever ago, and I'm trying to get back into it. Monday's post will be a combination of thoughts from Sunday at Trinity New Life Church and leftovers from the notes from my sermons. I pray your grace and mercies as I get back in to the swing of [...]
Hey super-church! I hope you're having a great post-Christmas, pre-New Year's week, recovering from all the festivities. I don't think my waistline's quite recovered from all of the fantastic food yet! Since we're not meeting again until January 1st, I wanted to send you a quick reminder about end-of-the-year giving. If you missed our Christmast [...]
Happy Monday, Super-Church! We're only a few days away from our big community-wide Christmas service, held December 23rd at 7pm. This is going to be an incredible way to end the year, and a great opportunity for you to engage in one of our core values, Intentional Evangelism. I know many people don't feel comfortable [...]
It's not enough. The sermons aren't enough. You need more. I need more. We must have MORE Jesus! I'm challenging you, daring you, to take the next 12 days and do the FAITH reading plan available on YouVersion.com. This isn't a one year or even one month commitment; it's 12 stinkin' days. Are you telling [...]
Dear Church, Kelly and I just wanted to take a second and convey one more time just how thankful and overwhelmed we were by your gift this past Sunday in honor of Pastor's Appreciation Month (week? I have no idea, never done this before!). I am so thankful to be your pastor. This is the [...]
Can you handle the truth? Honestly, it probably depends on who's truth-ing you. It's been my experience that Christians love to give advice and input, regardless if you've asked for it or not. I bet some of you are smiling right now, because you've either been given advice you've never asked for, or you have a habit [...]
Two weeks ago at Trinity New Life Church we finished up our New Life Groups by discussing Ephesians 6:1-24. While the final chapter of Paul the Apostle's letter contains many amazing items which deserve in-depth discussion, I was asked to write down some of the thoughts I shared on the Armor of God, found in Ephesians [...]
