This fall during Chick Training (our women's Bible Study) we are going through 1 Peter. We are excited to see what God’s Word has to say about who we are in Christ and how to relate to the world around us. We will be meeting at Wild Boar at 7:30 every other Wednesday, see the calendar for details. Posted by... Continue reading
I know emails have been going around, but I wanted to let the Church know officially that Levi was born yesterday, September 13th, 2010 at 3:19 AM. Thank you for all of your prayers because I know in my heart that we were guided by the Spirit and given discernment throughout the labor process and that Levi and Danielle are safe and healthy and Danielle is recovering well. Thank you for all the acts of service too. You can read more about the labor and birth and watch a video on his... Continue reading
Attraction, dating, courtship, intimacy, marriage, sex. These might be some topics that many churches would shy away from, but does God? To loosely quote Pastor Tommy Nelson: Do we really believe that God gave us a feeling as perceivable as romance, a passion as powerful as sex, an institution as emotional and sometimes painful as marriage, and yet told us nothing about it? Do we really believe that in all the wisdom of the Bible, God has left out a topic so important? Yet so many people have never been taught a Biblical perspective on these issues. How many of you have learned about sex and romance from your church and/or your parents? Now, how many of you have learned about sex from Howard Stern, Hugh Hefner, TV, movies and the like? We are blessed that God has indeed given us wisdom on these important topics. In his video series on the Song of Solomon, Tommy Nelson discusses topics that many pastors would not, topics that are vitally important. 2005 Song of Solomon... Continue reading
I just received an e-mail from a good friend and sister in Christ. Kara Swindler is currently on mission in the Czech Republic for the foreseeable future, and The Crossing is actively supporting Kara in her ministry to a very dark and atheistic nation. I praise God for what He is doing in the Czech through and for Kara and the people she is reaching. Here is her e-mail: An AMAZING event happened yesterday! We had 4 of our students in our apartment, not for English club BUT for a BIBLE STUDY!!! Why is this so amazing? It was their first bible study for all 4 girls. Three of these girls, Cristina, Jane, and Bara, became Christians in the last year and the other girl, Šarka, is not a Christian but wanted to come. At the end of 4 hours of eating, laughing, and learning about God’s Word together – everyone asked where to start reading the bible? We all excitedly answered to meet weekly and study the gospel of John together. My 2 Czech roommates (also... Continue reading
In 1 Corinthians 16:13, Paul issues the men in the floundering Corinthian church with this charge: "Be watchful; stand firm in the faith; act like men; be strong." Below is a video that we talked about at Man School this evening. Darrin Patrick--a leader of Acts 29 and pastor of The Journey in St. Louis, MO--has just released a new book called Church Planter: The Man, The Message, The Mission. The video below is a teaser for the book, and Patrick is calling out the men in our churches (pastors and leaders) to "act like men." We have a generation of men who are seeking to prolong adolescence, refusing to take life seriously. Will this new generation of men lead the church to its demise, or will we turn from our laziness to courageous action so that we can be a part of God's mission to redeem the world through the Gospel? Check out the video, and let's act like... Continue reading
