Holy Week – Part1

This week is often called “Holy Week” as it focuses on the most important event that have ever taken place on this earth – the death and resurrection of Jesus. It just so happens that in my daily read through the Bible I am reading through these events in Luke. […]

Praying for your friends

This week I challenged our staff to fast food for one full day and to pray for people that we will have an opportunity to meet this weekend. As we hold our Megga Hunt and Easter Experiences, I am praying for God to move in ways we have not seen […]

Lifetime Volunteer

I want to recognize someone who serves in CC Kids, but has volunteered for so much more. Today, I want to recognize my wife, Lorelei. Why today? Because today is her birthday. And in honor of her birthday, I thought I would recognize the real sacrifice she has made for […]

Volunteer Leaders

When we think of volunteers, we often think of people on the front lines of ministry (greeters, parkers, etc.). But one of the best ways to grow an organization and remain fiscally sound is to use volunteer leaders as well. We have relied heavily upon key leaders in this church […]

Volunteerism on steroids

Today, I want to highlight a volunteer who puts serving on steroids at our church. His name is Andy Morris. Andy serves this church in ways most of you never see. Andy has been laid off for several months. He was impacted by the downswing of our economy. The moment […]

Thank You!

Today, I preached from John 5:1-8. In this story, Jesus meets a paralyzed man who had been waiting near the pool of Bethesda for a long time hoping to be cured of his ailment. Interesting story if you’ve never read it. What inspired me about this story was what this […]

We’re tired

I’m tired. Things have been so crazy around the church for the past few weeks. Construction projects are like that in the final days. We are hoping to get our final CO tomorrow, so keep that in your prayers. But I’m not the only one who is tired. All of […]

I know you are there…

This past weekend, we wrapped up The Wall campaign with a big commitment Sunday. I have been asking people to join with me to help us expand our auditorium. Unfortunately, I don’t have an exact total of what was pledged because we are still waiting on some of the final […]

So PUMPED!

Okay, to say I am a little excited about this weekend’s message is an understatement. Not only is it our opportunity to give in a big way to fund our expansion project, but I believe it will be so incredibly inspirational to you. I don’t want to give it away, […]
