Worth It

Today I am tired. Partly because I took my brother in law to the airport at 4:30 am. But also because yesterday was a busy day at Creekside. We had 5 baptisms, a baby dedication and a BBQ. So we had a packed day. Saturday I learned how to set-up the baptismal. It’s not fun,Continue reading “Worth It”

Question From Jonah Sermon

I received this question from Sunday’s teaching “Where do they think the fish deposited Jonah? Ninevah looks like a landlocked city.” It would make sense that since Jonah was sailing on the Mediterranean Sea that he would be deposited on the that coast line. Nineveh was land locked, so where ever he was deposited heContinue reading “Question From Jonah Sermon”

Whatcha Got?

I read this post by Brody Harper today, talking about the various segments of the music industry. Turns out that every segment has different budgets, and there’s a kind of latter of cash that everyone compares each other to. This happens all the time, in every industry, even in the church. I know what you’reContinue reading “Whatcha Got?”

Creekside is launching a Spiritual Growth initiative this fall, E3. It’s a 3 year journey, and it’s not easy.

I concur

Perry Noble is doing a list of church leaders that he’d like to meet and today he mentioned Matt Chandler. Here’s Perry’s reasoning. Chandler is the man, I really dig his preaching style and his passion for the word is contagious. If you are not listening to the Village Church podcast . . . doContinue reading “I concur”

All Week Worship

Read this this morning from the worship trench: Our coporate worship encounters with God will rarely get further than the private, personal worship of our congregants (and especially leaders!). Many times I have seen Worship Pastors spend every ounce of energy on designing and fostering corporate worship only to be frustrated with the “results.” PerhapsContinue reading “All Week Worship”

Some Blog Thoughts

Los is back with a great post here. of particular note is #4. I wonder if modern day Christian leaders are more concerned about becoming famous than becoming Jesus? And here’s a quote from Will Wilimon “The gospel is not simply about meeting people’s needs. The gospel is also a critique of our needs, anContinue reading “Some Blog Thoughts”

Great Presenters

Great post from Seth Godin on what makes a great presenter. Bottom line if you don’t love your audience, you’ll never be great. When it comes to preaching, if you don’t love the people you are speaking with then they won’t care. Perry Noble, Mark Driscoll, Rob Bell, Erwin McManus, Rick Warren . . .Continue reading “Great Presenters”
