Yesterday at Creekside we worked through Romans 11.1-12. This is a short text but there is a lot going in there. I loved going through the story of Elijah and the duel with the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel. The text really came together though when in Pre-Preach Kate and I were talking aboutContinue reading “God is a Giver”

Sports Night, Doctor Who, Life. Oh The Joys of Netflix Streaming
I love Netflix Streaming. I know they don’t have a ton of great current movies on there but they have a treasure trove of great television shows. It was through Netflix that I discovered the awesomeness that is Doctor Who. It was through Netflix that my wife and I got all caught up on FridayContinue reading “Sports Night, Doctor Who, Life.

Confess and Believe
Week two of Don’s Sabbatical was a blast. We talked about how we receive grace. Confess that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9). It’s a simple idea but it it’s a huge statement. When we confess that Jesus is Lord we are saying noContinue reading “Confess and Believe”
Short Work Weeks make for Long Work Days
I love a three day weekend as much as the next guy. But man, the day after the three day weekend is crazy busy. I love my job but it’s never done. No one else is going to do that research, right that sermon, call those people, lead those meetings. So all the stuff thatContinue reading “Short Work Weeks make for Long Work Days”
New Journey
Well today is the first day of the rest of my life. That expression really doesn’t mean anything usually but today is the first day in a 100 day journey with Creekside Church. Our lead pastor, Don, is now officially on Sabbatical. Which is rad for him. I’m glad that Creekside is at a placeContinue reading “New Journey”
Better Together
Last night Creekside Church and the Rock Church celebrated our pending adoption. God has laid on our hearts the desire to see our mission of helping people discover, trust and love Jesus Christ grow. We want to see many people in many communities find the grace, love, joy, peace and community that the Gospel provides.Continue reading “Better Together”
Better Together
There are some things that are great on their own. Peanut Butter for instance. It’s amazing. But then Mister Reese came a long and said, “you know what this could use? A delicious coat of chocolate.” And with that the first recipient of the Nobel Peace prize was . . . what? Oh I guessContinue reading “Better Together”
Messy Becomes Beautiful
I’ve been meeting with a group of guys over the past few months. We’ve been reading the book Messy Spirituality by Mike Yacconelli. This is the third or fourth time I’ve read the book. It’s a small little book that reminds me that Jesus doesn’t desire perfection, he wants us. He will do the work ofContinue reading “Messy Becomes Beautiful”
Tension
The past few weeks have been fairly tense in my world. We’ve recently had to let one of our team members at Creekside go. Not fun. There are a lot of emotions around this whole event. And I’m not really a big fan of emotions other than happy. I’m like a dog that way. HappyContinue reading “Tension”
HOPE
I’ve been reading Texts Under Negotiation: The Bible and Postmodern Imagination by Walter Brueggemann. It’s a small book that has been really moving me. This is something that he said about hope: “Hope, the conviction that God will bring things to full, glorious completion, is no and explanation of anything. Indeed, biblical hope most often hasContinue reading “HOPE”
