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…

Easter 2016 is a brand new deal. It is not like last year… this is totally new and different! On the other hand, Easter 2016 is just the same as it has always been. It is a exactly like it was last year… it is a repeat of the last 2000 years. Both of these thoughts are true. Easter 2016 recognizes and…
Part of our being ‘equipped’ for a life of maturity is understanding that God has gifted us with His grace expressed in and through us. Each of us has been designed and wired with a uniqueness that was His doing. That uniqueness is expressed in all sorts of ways (you personality, your physical appearance, your passions, your interests, etc.). One of those…
We have been focusing on what it means to be equipped… in other words… what does it means to be outfitted to take the ‘quest’ or adventure called the Christ filled life? It has been exciting to see that being equipped is not a skills-based idea. Equipped means to become mature and increasingly transformed into the image of Christ and His character. We…
We just completed our trip to Anse-a-Galet, LaGonave, Haiti, but the work there continues. Let me explain… we successfully assembled the trusts and put them into place. We also were able to get the sheet metal roof and guttering installed. We couldn’t have completed our task without the help of several Haitian men. And, while we returned home, those men are continuing…
This past Sunday, the congregation of Quest took a decisive and unique step that will impact our future in a profound way. A step like this is always a little ‘awkward’ as the process of making decisions is sometimes a bit complicated. In this case, the Elders presented the congregation with an opportunity; they did their homework as throughly as possible and…
Life is a full slate of things happening to us, around us, in us and through us. There is seldom a dull moment!! For me this has been a very busy season of the year. Christmas blew through like a blustery winter wind, I traveled to Colorado to see some valued friends going through some profoundly difficult times, I attended the EFCA…
This week we will shift our “focus” onto Equipping. For many of you that might sound a bit boring… however I will suggest it actually might be one of the most exciting things we could do at this point in life of our church and in your own personal lives. The heart of equipping is to help every person be effective and…
After a good night’s sleep I jumped out of my cozy bed and went to the bathroom to get cleaned up. Next, I had some quiet time in the living room before heading to the kitchen. There, I started preparing eggs and sausage as the rest of the family showered and got ready for their day. We had water, orange juice and…
As a church, we are facing one of our first really big decisions and, therefore, changes that could (and will) impact the equilibrium of Quest. The possibility of buying the church facility near the intersection of Highway 109 and Old Manchester Road is both exciting and packed with all sorts of potential tension. At some point, we will probably arrive at a…
