As April comes to close, let us celebrate together the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus our eternally reigning KING! In Luke 1, the angel Gabriel, speaking on behalf of God the Father, declared Jesus as King when he said, “You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be...
In 1 Corinthians 15: 3-8, Paul proclaims, “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more...
Last week, we explored the greatness of Jesus as we looked at His life and earthly ministry, but we know His life ended abruptly as He carried out God’s plan to restore, renew, and repair our relationship with Him. Jesus was tried, sentenced, flogged, and crucified. Roman crucifixion was horrific, crafted to shame the victim and designed...
As we begin this month, knowing what is going on around the world, let’s remind ourselves of this truth – Jesus is still King! He is in control and the message of his life, sacrifice, and resurrection have never been more timely or significant. In the coming weeks, we will explore how we can take comfort in the fact that Jesus is...
As this month comes to a close, we find ourselves 18 years in and anticipate the best is yet to come. Often, after many years, leaders and people arrive at a point in life where they stop playing offense and begin to play defense – in other words, they stop dreaming!
We have to keep dreaming – playing offense toward expansion and...
Some of those who began the journey with us 18 years ago are not with us now and that is okay. The journey to anything significant is long and often involves different people entering and exiting along the journey. The People Factor is a huge part of the journey. We must learn to love those who leave in the midst of the journey and welcome those...
Over our church’s 18-year journey there have been many times I have found myself walking through seasons of disappointment and discouragement. While these seasons are common in our lives here on earth, it doesn’t make them any less challenging. Yet what I have learned along the way is these seasons are purposeful and help us to grow...
Those early years were hard for me and our church. I worked non-stop, practically sleeping in my office. I quickly learned everything worthwhile is an uphill battle. The early years required hard work, incalculable grace from my wife, and loads of sweat equity. During this time I learned a valuable lesson – don’t quit because the...
This March our church turns 18 years old. It seems like only yesterday when we held our first service on the second Sunday of March 2006 and yet our 18 year journey has held many lessons. This month, we’ll be exploring some of the greatest lessons I have learned along the journey of The Worship Center, in order to inspire you on your own...
I love to think of nature as unlimited broadcasting stations, through which God speaks to us every day, every hour and every moment of our lives,
if we will only tune in and remain so.”
– George Washington Carver
In this simple statement, George Washington Carver, reminds us that resilience requires tuning into and trusting God...
