In the coming days the gospel will be most clearly and powerfully communicated through us living out our faith with mature Christ-like character. Actions really do speak louder than words. Words without character are simply empty and hollow. In these last few weeks, before we move over to the new property, I want to focus on our maturity and what qualities we…

We continue to make excellent progress in renovating our new “home.” Thank you Questers for your generous gifts of time and energy to renovate the building and to clear the church grounds of brush, honeysuckle and dead trees. Over the last two weeks, the large downstairs room and classrooms have been painted. The skim coating of the lobby walls has been completed in preparation…

In the coming weeks we will occupy a building in Wildwood… a property that many people have been working really hard to prepare for us to occupy… and it is going to be so much fun. Prepare yourself to occupy!!!! But even more so, prepare yourself to occupy / move into / be present in / take up residence in / the…
When there is news or an announcement that is profoundly compelling there is also a sense of ethical and moral responsibility to communicate that news or announcement to those who would potentially be affected. That is why our early warning systems concerning hurricanes, tornados and thunderstorms (and even to a slight degree, earthquakes) are so helpful. That is why birth announcements and…
What a talented bunch of folks we have in our church! With great participation in our Saturday work days, and other volunteers throughout the week we continue to make great progress in the building renovations! Thank you Questers! The concrete work in front of the church is now completed. Repaving and re-striping the parking lot is scheduled to be done (weather permitting)…
One dimension of the Christian life and the essentials of the ‘gospel’ (the good and all encompassing message of God to mankind) involves a heart felt compassion for the brokenness of people. The lifeblood of ‘reaching out’ is a heart that beats with understanding these essential elements of God’s design and purpose in this world. If the ‘gospel’ is reduced to a…
We have been property owners now for almost four weeks, and a lot has been going on! We have gotten several bids for major projects ranging from repairing the concrete in front of the church, to repaving the parking lot, to installing wi-fi in the building. We are now contracting for the major tasks that we cannot do ourselves. We hope to…
Sometimes I am amazed at how applicable (and, frankly, how profoundly important) something is in my circumstances that I accidentally run across. It felt that was last week as I prepared for our Sunday worship service. I had chosen to utilize John 17 as the text for three weeks of our focus on Prayer. This particular prayer of Jesus was the one…
Easter is now over (at least the celebration), and we are left to live in light of the reality of Jesus life, death, resurrection and eventual second coming. If we actually embrace those realities, then our lives have to include some very distinctive implications. Life is not just a random set of events that get strung on the necklace of survival. Life…
