Jailed Old St. Nicholas

This would be something great to use this week to teach your children about the true origin of St. Nick: Many American children are looking forward to the arrival…

I Don’t Trust Jesus

That’s essentially what I’m saying when I only trust what I see instead of trusting what Jesus said ! That was the big idea this past Sunday at Element Church as we continued our sermon series “Jesus is NOT the reason for the season”. Trusting Jesus as provider is not based on what I see it’s based…

Our Church Is A Museum

I think one of the biggest dangers for our churches today is the temptation to become a museum that highlights the past instead of a mission command that propels us to the future! For the church to become a movement we have to cling to the past without being crippled by it. [Tweet “For the church to…

T-H-A-N-K-S-G-I-V-I-N-G

This week is one of my favorite weeks of the whole year. I love the holiday season and it all begins this week with Thanksgiving.

Chilean Miners Rescued LIKE The Church (Part 2)

With the release of the movie “33” this week, I’m reposting some blogs I wrote in 2010, concerning the Chilean mine rescue. I’m posing the question, “What if the Chilean mine rescue was performed like the church?” You can read part 1 on the blog, here is part 2: 33 miners were rescued after 69 days…

Chilean Miners Rescued LIKE The Church

This past weekend, a movie based on the 2010 rescue of 33 Chilean miners came out. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but it reminded me of a series of posts I wrote back when it happened and wanted to share them here. I posed the question, “What if the Chilean mine rescue was performed like the church?”…

I Don’t Believe Jesus

That’s basically what we are saying if we say, “That’s impossible,” when it comes to a spiritual issue in our lives. We either believe that the power of Jesus can do anything or we don’t. On Sunday at Element Church we finished up our sermon series on marriage and relationships called “Happily Never…
