Our #1 initiative as a church this year is to have every person at Palm Valley read the Bible in 2008. I have been praying that each of us would hear from God every day as we read His Word. In order to help, we’ve concentrated on doing these things together…
We’re all reading the One […]
I’m fired up about men’s camp next weekend. If you’re a guy from Palm Valley Church, you need to be going! Walk, don’t run to www.palmvalley.org and sign-up. I’m speaking at two of the sessions, and I can’t wait to share about some of the things God is doing in my life.
And no, I won’t […]
I’ve taken a few days to get away with the family up the the snow of Pinetop. Some friends let us use their cabin, and man is it awesome! I’ve had a blast just hangin’ out with no agenda. I didn’t realize how tired I was until I find myself sleeping 12 hours per night, […]
Okay, I’m just recovering from 5 incredible Christmas services. All I can say is Wow! Some thoughts…
Our volunteers rock! Thanks to the hundreds of you who served all weekend to make this happen. You gave up valuable time to welcome people, love on kids, lead worship and the dozens of other roles to make it […]

We […]

Had a blast this weekend just hanging out on the patio and talking with people. It’s not often that I’m not teaching on a weekend and have the opportunity just to walk around campus and see what’s going on, but it was fun to do that this weekend. Here’s some thoughts…
It’s a great privilege to […]
Extreme Faith Productions is sponsoring an area-wide competition, the Arizona American Christian Music Showcase (ACMS). The competition started with 24 bands, and two bands represented by Palm Valley have made it to the semi-final round.
One band, About The Author, is led by our Jr. High pastor Jeremiah. Jeremiah’s a great youth pastor, and I’m told […]
I love the fact that Palm Valley has an impact on our community, and it always amazes me that I see PVC’ers everywhere I go. Two weeks ago at a school assembly (one of my boys was student of the month ) the principal brought 3 boys on stage. All 3 were on a […]
I wrestled with this week’s message as much as any message I’ve ever done. As of Thursday I had 7 or 8 different directions on my heart. But one thing I’ve learned about wrestling through the message preparation process: often the more I wrestle, and the more uncertain I am going into the weekend, the […]
