Kids Hope USA is a great partnership for our church with tons of potential. It is one of the few Christian organizations that provides the church access to the public school system. Plus, God can use you to change the life of a child forever, and He just may use that kid to change you [...]

Busy Does Not Equal Meaningful
Posted on 25. Jan, 2011 by frank.
This term crowded loneliness has come up in our church because of a study we started called Making Room for Life by Randy Frazee. When you think of loneliness what kind of person comes to mind? Perhaps someone who can’t leave their home due to illness? Or maybe someone in a nursing home? When I was a kid [...]

Free Sermon Series and Graphics
Posted on 10. Jan, 2011 by frank.
One of my favorite sermon series I’ve ever put together was Googling God. Each week is based on questions collected from the congregation.
