I am totally and completely whipped this morning. There’s been a ton going on over the last few weeks, and after 4 services, I’m tired.
Saturday night is really growing. i’m not sure if it’s because people are moving over to free up seats on Sunday, or because football started
It was cool to see […]
Our Student Ministries is doing a series called “Bodybuilding”. They’re talking about what the Bible has to say about our heart, eyes, ears, and hands.
They’ve done a couple cool thingst to tie the series in for the students. one is temporary tattoos with the series logo. It’s been fun to see these all over the […]
Many of you know a young boy in our church who has been fighting Leukemia for the past two years. Josh is an incredible young guy, with a huge heart. Throughout his fight he’s continued to be an encouragement to others, and keeps telling people the God has a purpose in all of this. He’s got […]
I’ve begun reading through the book of Matthew in my time with the Lord each day. I’ve been so encouraged by the words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, and the very practical teaching He gives to followers. This morning I read the New Living Translation of Matthew 7, and this stuck out […]
I’m fired up about this weekend at Palm Valley. We’ve got such momentum right now, it’s obvious God’s doing something big, and I believe He’s got even bigger plans for the coming months!
In my teaching this weekend I’ll be answering the question “Why Does God Allow Suffering”? It’s the question I’m asked more than any […]

Awesome weekend to start the “unCERTAINty” series. Here’s some thoughts…
This series is right on time, so many people hurting and worried right now.
The worship rocked this weekend. Derrick put together a powerful service!
I love meeting in the auditorium, such a better feeling than the gym.
The students started a new series called “bodybuliding”. It was cool […]
About 6 months ago I wrote down in my journal that I needed to teach a series titled “unCERTAINty” (props to Ed Young for the title). I really wrestled with God over it, because it didn’t make sense to me. The economy was great, people were optimistic about the future, and there seemed to be […]
Today was a long day. After being in the office for a while (message prep, couple meetings) we drove out to Riverside, Arizona to shoot a video for this week’s service. Where is Riverside you ask? Good question. It’s about 2 1/2 hours east of Goodyear.
So we drove out and did the video shoot, which […]
