I recently read A Multi-Site Road Trip. This book was essentially a tour of several different churches that are implementing Multi-Site methodology into their church. There were many great lessons to be learned and it is a book that I plan to go back to over the next year. Today I wanted to share oneContinue reading “Multiply Monday: Leaders and Opportunities”

Peculiar
We have been walking around the neighborhood in Salto. Every time we have passed by this car. we don’t know what it is or who made it. It kind of looks like a Volkswagen Thing but its not. This morning we were doing a prayer walk and we passed this car again. I felt theContinue reading “Peculiar”
Election
I’ve been thinking a lot about the doctrine of election. Mainly because I have been doing a lot of research in the Minor Prophets. The Prophets were addressing the nation of Israel, which was elected by God to be his nation among the many nations. The problem though was that even though they were anContinue reading “Election”
Missional Spirituality (Review)
Missional is a buzzword in the North American Church. It’s a buzzword with a lot of ambiguity. What does it mean to be missional? What is a missional church? What is a missional follower of Jesus? These are all questions that church leaders are asking. And there are many resources that are trying to provideContinue reading “Missional Spirituality (Review)”
Brothers, we are all broken
My heart is hurting for people who have been deeply hurt by a church in my area. As a leader in a church I know that it is not hard to offend someone. As someone who goes to a church I know that it is not hard to be offended. But the stories that IContinue reading “Brothers, we are all broken”
Stewardship [or] All About (all) the Benjamins
I am currently working on a series of sermons about Stewardship. As a pastor, when I use the word stewardship the common assumption is that I’m going to talk about money. If I say, I’m doing a series on stewardship, people hear, “Here come four week talking about money, give more, give more, give more.”Continue reading “Stewardship [or] All About (all) the Benjamins”
Church & 30 Rock
I love 30Rock. Smart, funny, quick. All good things when it comes to a sitcom. Kathy and I were watching it the other day, and I was struck by a really fun idea, how does the Church line up with 30 Rock? This does not reflect Creekside, these thoughts reflect stereotype ideas about local ChurchesContinue reading “Church & 30 Rock”
Some Thoughts On Learning
I am a learner. Not just because I’m in school. It’s the way I am. I love learning. I love the process of learning. I love new ideas and letting them dance around my head with old ideas. Sometimes I have to give old ideas eviction notices to make room for some better renters. IContinue reading “Some Thoughts On Learning”
The Body
Ephesian 4:11-16 “And he [Jesus] gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, toContinue reading “The Body”
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”
