My Beloved Church Family, Wasn’t the trumpet player lovely this past Sunday? There’s something about a single note held just long enough that reminds us that resurrection doesn’t always arrive with a spotlight. Sometimes it slips in quietly, like morning light through the blinds. As I shared this on Easter Sunday, resurrection didn’t begin with…

My Beloved Church Family, Can I tell you something: You don’t have to feel “finished” to be faithful. You don’t have to feel fearless to be used by God. You just have to keep walking. You only need to keep going. We’re in that stretch of our holy week story where everything isn’t clear yet….

Dear Beloved Church Family, As we prepare to enter Holy Week, I’m holding close the word Hosanna.

This Sunday, I will be starting a series on the 4 mission priorities that our church (and God’s church) has. I want to show you that these priorities are not primarily organizational (that is to keep the church building open) but theological. That these priorities were given to us by Jesus Christ himself as he…

As we continue to seek God’s kingdom, scripture exhorts us to never get tired of doing good. God’s people have never been called to ending evil in the world. God has always promised that he will be the one to do that ultimately. Cheering for others in doing the big nation-sized things or hate-watching the…
