My Mind Was Blown

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Friday night the leaders of Palm Valley Church gathered for a special Seize The Moment commitment event. It was an incredible time together, and the Spirit of God was present in the house!
At the end of the night our leaders made commitments (150 of them) to give $6,034,076 to fulfill the vision of STM.

Making Space

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

As I mentioned yeseterday, we’re rockin’ 4 servies each week. This is allowing us to create more space so more people can meet Jesus. What a privilege!
A couple ways you can help…
1) Attend any service but the Sunday 10:00 am. This service is packed, please choose one of the other three.
2) Serve. If you’re not […]

How To Hear From God

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

As we’re in this Seize The Moment campaign, I’m getting a ton of questions from people who are praying about their commitment. Questions like “how do I determine my commitment”, “what does it mean for me to sacrifice”, etc…
In order to every person at Palm Valley really grow through this process, I’m doing a special […]

Pressure

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Man, tonight the pressure was put on me in a big way! Bottom of the last inning, my 7 year old’s team was down 11-10. As the pitcher I was sweating bullets. The last thing I wanted was for my lousy pitching to be the reason we lost.
So, what happened? The boys brought their sticks […]

4 services rockin’

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

As I drove home Sunday I realized just how taxing 4 services is physically. I was worn-out, but it’s worth it. We’re created more space for more peopel to come meet Jesus. Sunday 10:00 was jam-packed, so if you can move to the earlier or later service it would help free us some seats.
I really […]

Incredible Opportunity

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Over the last month I’ve talked to over 900 people in 36 different events about the Seize The Moment campaign to build our campus. It’s been awesome to sense the excitement of the body at Palm Valley for what God’s calling us to do.
After 6 years of being portable, it’s incredible to believe that next […]

Another Loss

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

It’s been a tough couple weeks with unexpected passings in our body. Yesterday I received a call that Dean Goddard had passed away from a heart attack at the age of 65.
Dean was a good friend, and a man who loved the Lord. He had pastored churches for nearly 40 years, and spend his last […]

Sickness

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Man, the last few days have been miserable. This weekend, in addition to our 4 normal services, I spoke at 4 “can’t miss” events (about an hour long talk each), and it just flat wore me out.
To top it off I came down with the stomach flu. Two days in bed, lost six pounds, and […]

Little League Is Fun

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

I’ve got 3 boys in little league right now, and with 2 games and a practice every week for each of them, it’s crazy! However, I’m having a blast watching my boys grow, learn, and develop their skills. They’re having fun playing, but to be honest, I’m having more fun watching them.
Yesterday I got to […]

Jesus Wins Again

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

A couple months ago there was a big furor over the film coming out the “proved” Jesus was buried with his wife and children. The people who created the film had firm “evidence” that this was the case. Non-believers jumped all over this and shouted out that Christians around the world were misguided in our […]
