I love; therefore, I submit

This is a profound mystery—Christ feeds and cares for the church; He loves the church so much that he gave himself up for her. Submission is not a word we like to hear. It sounds harsh; it sounds restricting. But maybe that’s because we’ve got it wrong. We think: I’m weak; therefore, I submit. I’m...

Substance-less Hope

One of the great things about hope is that it is substance-less. It’s wonderful. I can hope for the moon. Or maybe more accurately I can hope for a million dollars. Or I can hope to be a professional athlete. Or I can hope for any other seemingly outrageous thing. I can hope for anything...

Hope Signs

Hope is a sign of life. Signs from God give hope. We ask for signs at the wrong time. We don’t ask for signs at the wrong time. Sometimes God’s signs don’t match the circumstances. God’s signs give hope. Hope is a sign if life. “And this will be a sign to you…”

Advent-Hopes Fulfilled

This morning we read from Luke 1 where Mary is informed about her upcoming pregnancy by the Archangel Gabriel (just as a side note this is a way more awesome way of finding out then seeing if there are one or two blue lines). The hope of the nation was going to be fulfilled, but...

Advent-Hope

This year I decided that my family was going to celebrate Advent. So I did some research, collected some resources, and prepared for the season. For some reason, Pentecostals tend to not celebrate those traditional Church calendar things, so I needed some help getting started. And now I am looking forward to God’s Spirit working...

Pursuing Your Passion

Four days a week there is a recurring appointment in my calendar—Blog. It’s there Monday through Thursday every week at 11:00 AM, and four times a week that little alarm goes off, reminding me—Blog. Yet, I have not produced four blogs in a week. Ever. So today, the alarm went off again, and I had...

Someone’s Watching

In the office today, I was trying to get some small tasks accomplished, and I had the Catalyst Podcast on in the background (check it out here) when suddenly a story they were telling caught me. So let me briefly recap… A young man was playing college football, and, although he was on the team,...

Plenty of Time

So often we feel like there’s just not enough time. Not enough time to get all the work done, so there’s not enough time to get the chores done, so there’s not enough time to spend with the family, so there’s not enough time to just sit and breathe. So we find ourselves sucked into...

FREEDOM

The inspiring scene from Braveheart (and what has to be in the top 10 for most popular sermon illustrations) where William Wallace gets the men shouting, screaming, proclaiming—FREEDOM!—get’s you so pumped up as you watch it. You’re ready to go; you’re ready to fight! You’re ready for freedom. Freedom stands at the heart of the...
