Being Cold For Jesus’ Name
We recently finished looking at the 7 churches listed in the book of Revelation as a way to examine our lives, and church, in light of what Jesus said to those early churches. Jesus had strong words of comfort (as He first reminded them who He is), then He offered...
Gospel And Mission In An (Un)Tolerant Age
As I mentioned on Sunday, this is a short blog that ties into Sunday’s message about living on mission verses our cultural definition of tolerance. We have constantly reiterated that “Mission” is the life purpose of a person who believes in Jesus. Our mission is first...
Let’s All Give Up in 2015 (Part IV)
Ok, sorry this is a long one. But you have come this far... Jesus is Lord! By faith you declared Christ's Lordship on the day you were saved by God's grace. But, what is faith? Faith is "...the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen"...
Let’s All Give Up in 2015 (Part III)
I have a question for all of you teachers out there, if I were to go to your school today, where would I find my permanent grade-school record? The permanent grade-school record is the single most important document in the record of a human's life. We are taught...
Let’s All Give Up in 2015 (Part II)

Grace For Y’all Part 2
Hello everyone, this is the other half of team Gee. I want to echo what Michelle said in her post about Redemption Group Training, that it would be intense. We knew we would be confronted by our sin and we knew we would have to be vulnerable in front of strangers,...
Individual Sin, Community Redemption
Not sinning is not the opposite of sinning. Wait, what?! If that were true, the day a new believer was baptized it would be the responsibility of the church elders to lock that individual in an anechoic chamber and remove all possible temptations to sin. The opposite...
Grace For Y’all
Team Gee (or one half, I should say) here—at 38,000 feet. I’m writing this on our return flight to California (oh, how we’ve missed you!), after spending almost a week in Texas. Jon and I had the privilege of participating in a Redemption Group Immersion—an experience...
