There’s a lot of talk about reaching out to your community these days. I came across this yesterday. I took this picture from a church parking lot… Why would you pad lock plywood on top of a basket ball goal? The only answer I could come up with was so people wouldn’t use it.
Why wouldn’t [...]
This was BY FAR the best thing about Catalyst. If you look closely East Coast Church is stage left. We got to sit right up on the stage for this moment. Let me recommend sponsoring a child through Compassion International. We have one child for each of ours.Watch this video (when you have 18 minutes) [...]
When was the last time you heard someone being critical about you or the vision God has uniquely given you for your life? Today, yesterday, last week? Unfortunately critics will ALWAYS be there. Some you may need to listen to, for God can surely use a critic, for others… consider the source.
This morning I read [...]
Not being at Promise Land on Wednesday night was pretty weird for me. If you didn’t know, I am a part of a church plant in San Marco. If you didn’t know, I’m working at an Acura dealership greeting people and transporting cars until East Coast gets off the ground. Its a job… but I [...]
I was reading in Acts 19 this morning and was reminded me of something we value at East Coast Church. An event happened that put fear into the people of the city of Ephesus (you can read about it here). In seeing this, some believed – some didn’t. Those who had believed made significant changes [...]
In the past I’ve heard my share of comments on how people are offended at the lifestyle of those who don’t know Christ. Some of these comments are offensive to me. If I heard or saw how these “church people” reacted towards the sin of this world, I wouldn’t want any part of the church [...]
Acts 8:13-24 is an account of a magician named Simon who believed the message of the gospel! After seeing the Holy Spirit be given to people through the laying on of hands, he desired to do that as well – this is Peter’s response to him…
20But Peter said to him,”May your silver perish with you, [...]
Tonight a few of us met up at Stinson Park to pray for youth camp. When we got there the Holy Spirit had different plans… Brian Worley (who has a heart of GOLD & will witness to a tree) started talking to “Mary”.
Meet Mary and her dog Max. After sharing the gospel with Mary we [...]
In reading through “The Disney Way“, I came across Dunn Hospitality, a company that operates hotels throughout the Midwest. Here are a few points in their code of conduct as it relates to the guests:
We are here to make things easier for our guests
Practice a friendly smile
Maintain a neat professional appearance
Never complain or comment on [...]
Tuesday morning I read a blog post from Mark Batterson. He was talking about a book called Servolution. I had heard about this book a few months ago, but forgot about it until just recently. After I read the blog, I thought to myself, “Dude, I would really like to have a copy of that”. [...]
