Sunday night we held a “Volunteer Appreciation Night“, and it was awesome. The staff team did an incredible job of putting together an unforgettable evening together. We had such a blast together, eating, laughing, singing, and just loving on the volunteers who make PVC happen. I loved that on the night the world was celebrating […]
Holy cow, what an awesome weekend. I was wiped out Monday, so here’s Tuesday’s cliff-notes from the weekend…
The set team did an awesome job with props for the message, especially considering I only gave them 2 days notice on some changes I wanted to make.
Sick kids made for a long weekend at the Rohlinger home.
After […]
15 years ago ago today I spent my first Valentine’s day with Lori. It was an incredible day, complete with a very creative date I planned to sweep her off her feet. It worked, and soon after we were engaged, then married.
Today, I’m amazed at how “lucky” (read blessed) I am to be married to […]
We wrapped up the teaching series Route66 today. It’s kind of an odd “series”, because we’re doing the route66 (Bible reading) all year. We’ll be coming back to the idea about once a month as we continue to “travel across America”. Anyways, here’s some thoughts from the weekend that was…
Driving the 1950 Hudson on stage was one cool entrance (I’ll have video later this […]
I love Hawaii. Honestly, I do my most creative thinking when I’m staring at the ocean. There’s something about the colors, the waves, sea life, and sun that relax me, and allow me just to think creatively. I’m jealous of Wayne Cordeiro; that he gets to study on the beach. I believe I would write better […]
This closing session was full of worship, and Wayne shared from his heart about what he desires for New Hope Church. It was a great challenge to our team. Some quotes that stood out…
“we’re often more concerned with the absence of problems than we are with the presence of the Lord”.
“we must pray: ‘Lord, please […]
This session was taught by Dr. Paul Risser, former president of the FourSquare church. Dr. Risser and his wife were celebrating their 50th anniversary, how cool is that! He talked about disciple-making in the church. He said discipling is like parenting, you must maintain balance and keep your emotions under control.
Drawing on his vast ministry […]
This evening’s service started off with incredible worship led by students (and children) of New Hope. It was off the hook. The talent and giftedness amongst young people at New Hope is unrivaled in any church I’ve ever seen. They had multiple bands, singers, dancers, and drama performers.
It’s obvious New Hope has an amazing commitment […]
In this main sessino, Wayne Cordeiro talked about the culture of a church. It was a great reminder that every church has a culture, and we need to be intentional about deciding what ours will be. A lot of churches try to please everybody, but they end up reaching nobody. It’s like a radio station […]
