If you're anything like me, then the chances are that you've had your fair share of struggles as a leader. These obstacles can be frustrating but in reality, aren't so much an issue to overcome rather than the everyday bumps in our careers and personal lives; this is what I write about on my blog.
Jesus was an innovative teacher who taught in an innovative way. He came on the scene to explain God to a group of people who were confused about God. They saw God as as distant, demanding, and unapproachable. Therefore, Jesus used word pictures, parables,...
I recently heard someone say, "Life is a cruel joke and I ain't laughing." I agree wholeheartedly. In fact, the majority would agree that life comes at you fast, doesn't play fair, and is downright unpredictable! Wouldn't you agree? Since life doesn't play fair,...
I finished last week's post mentioning how how I used my iPhone, Cloud Storage, and a few Apps to prepare messages in 10 minutes or less. Let's face it - there's no way we can escape technology. It's here to stay and we may as well leverage it for the glory of God....

I am sensing Easter Weekend will be HUGE! Why? The enemy is busy, the weather won't cooperate, and it appears the distractions just won't go away! However, I'm reminding myself to remain steadfast...unmovable...while ALWAYS abiding in the Word! In short, this too...
God blessed me with an opportunity most pastors rarely experience - an opportunity to pastor a large and thriving congregation that grows daily (Acts 2:42-47). I'm humbled because I had a strong and solid foundation to build upon. Although our church experienced many...
The message of Easter is quite simple: "Jesus Did It...Just For Me." He became the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE so that we may have a personal relationship with God. At Mars Hill, we're praying, planning, and preparing to serve thousands of people who will attend our Weekend...
People often joke: "You have a greater chance seeing Marvin Gaye (R.I.P) at the Superbowl than seeing men attend church." Although some men attend church regularly, it is a fact many do not attend...at least not with the frequency and regularity women. Churches from...
