"Whatever our status (single, married, parent, widowed, divorced), this is the day that the Lord has made."

Advent is the season where we prepare our hearts for worshiping on Christmas Day as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus.

"I recommend that all full-time pastors and staff receive a three-month paid sabbatical every six or seven years."

It is important that the senior leader goes “all in” and completely surrenders to his understanding of God’s Church Merger Plan.

Getting prayer into your church means building prayer into the DNA of a congregation.

Pastor, are you trusting in the providence of God in your life and ministry? Providence is God’s guidance and protection in our lives and ministries.

I don’t know about your church past. I grew up attending church and, for the most part, it was fun. Being forced to attend “big church” with my parents was a drag, but most everything else was pretty great.
