Theology Thursday: Election

I have personally gone back and forth on the whole Calvinism-Arminianism debate. I was initially put off from this conversation by people that I went to Bible college with who were so focused on being right about their stands on either side that they didn’t care about people. I believe that God is sovereign andContinue reading “Theology Thursday: Election”

Team Tuesday

I love serving at Creekside Church. It’s amazing to see what Jesus is doing in our community. People are finding grace, hope and community. These are all happening as people are seeking after Jesus. It’s awesome! One if the other reasons that I love serving at Creekside is because of the team that I getContinue reading “Team Tuesday”

9 Years at Creekside

Wow. 9 years is a long time. It is 27% of my life so far. It’s amazing to think about the journey that God has led Creekside and my family on. When I started at Creekside as the youth pastor I really had no idea that my role would grow and change as much asContinue reading “9 Years at Creekside”

Over the last several years though I have begun to appreciateContinue reading “Building Anticipation for Christmas”

Batkid!

This article from Wired made me tear up. I saw the posts from different friends about San Francisco’s Batkid and I didn’t really have time to read the posts. If you are facing your Monday morning with cynicism and dislike of your fellow humans. Read this article and remember we really can go niceContinue reading “Batkid!”

Worry

This morning I was reading in Matthew 6 and Jesus told the people to not worry. I lean towards worry as my default position and I call it thinks like, planning ahead, troubleshooting, but for me those are just other words for worry. My New Years resolution last year was to worry less. I stayedContinue reading “Worry”

Saturday Stuff CWACOM2, Vision Day, Turnaround Pastor

I went in to CWACOM2 with no expectations and they were greatly exceeded. The lastContinue reading “Saturday Stuff CWACOM2, Vision Day, Turnaround Pastor”
