Here’s a quick update on the East Coast jacket drive… In partnering with Chick-fil-A, you, and other churches – we have collected 60 jackets for those in need here at a local middle school. Chick-fil-a at the Town Center told me today that they would like to extend the deadline to Thursday at 1pm. They [...]

What happened on Nov 15th…
On Sunday November 15th East Coast Church had its second preview service. I spoke on The Good Samaritan from Luke 10. The Good Samaritan has “love your neighbor” written all over it, but in context it has everything to do with The Gospel! This was heavy on my heart in preparation. Before the service there [...]

Pray for Discovery Church…
I have a friend in Port St Lucie Florida that started a church over 6 months ago –> Discovery Church. The church is lead by 25 year old pastor Tim OCarroll. I am asking prayer for him as the school they were meeting in gave him a few weeks to find another location. Will you [...]

How NOT to reach your community…
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 [...]

Some of you know in early spring this year, I submitted to [...]

Stop trying to live for Christ
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 [...]

Church planting, only seeing so far…
Last week I drove down to Ft Myers for a church planting conference. I got to meet some great people. One of them is Tim O’Carroll, a 24 year old church planter in Port St. Lucie. I learned a lot last week… what I learned most is how much I don’t know about planting a [...]

Are you offended by the lost?
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 [...]
