Hey guys, I just wanted to update our church family and say thank you, once again, for your amazing demonstration of love and support. Health: We can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I have two more chemo treatments over the next four weeks, and then I should be done. I’ll get…

Easter is just a few days away! We have a fantastic morning planned, including a new message from Andy Stanley, “Nick and Joe Save Easter.” The Easter story hinged on two unlikely characters, Nick and Joe. These two men’s actions allowed first century Christians, and eventually us today, to be confident in Christ’s resurrection. In…

There are hundreds of thousands of phone apps available. They can be used to wake you up, to show you where to shop, to help you count calories, and to log your exercise minutes. But they can’t actually make you get up, control your spending, manage your diet, or force you to exercise. The Bible…

That’s really not how it works. Life is too messy for us to believe that there’s a simple formula for faith. Then how…

What do our waistlines and our wallets have in common? Our giving habits share a pattern with our health habits. And in both cases, there’s a better option out there. In this message, Rich Barrett will challenge us to adopt a superior habit of giving. The difference we can make by doing so in the…

Well, it’s been a month since my last update. Here’s a little of what we’ve learned in 40 days of chemo: I guess the most obvious development over the last month has been the loss of my hair. It started falling out right on schedule about 21 days into chemo. My hair is pretty thick,…
