I’M BACK! I took a much needed break from blogging to focus on our Easter Weekend Worship Experiences and it was AWESOME! I just put the finishing touches on my new series: “Supernatural.”
Read on…
What you see is not all there is. The Bible says, “We are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world…” (Eph 6:12, NLT). Scripture says, “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons that we fight with are not the weapons of the world.” Though we live in a physical world, there is another world.
The Lord’s Shifting…Are You Spiritually Ready?
There is a spirit world, where there is a war raging. There is the Kingdom of Light versus the kingdom of darkness. And when we engage in the spiritual battle, we don’t fight with the weapons of this world. Tonight during Bible Study I’ll share a preview of my forthcoming series “Supernatural.”
Here’s a brief overview:
Is the third Person of the Trinity a distant Mystery, a vague cosmic Force?
Many believers acknowledge Him as a component of faith – but perhaps not as a reality in their daily spiritual walk. Yet the Bible is clear: the Holy Spirit is a vital, equal part of God, promised by the father to all Christians
In “Supernatural – Walking in the Spirit,” I’ll reveal the inner workings of the Spirit with simple, straightforward wisdom. During this series you can better experience this awesome gift of God and learn how the Holy Spirit helps us during this war.
You’ll discover:
Spiritual Warfare
Angels & Demons
What Holiness is – and is Not
Seven Works of the Holy Spirit in Your Life
Three Potentials God Desires You to Develop
How to Remain Full of the Holy Spirit
Four Great Questions to Ask God Everyday
If you are faltering, or easily fall prey to temptation, maybe you’ve forgotten to rely upon the Power of the Holy Spirit and begun to rely only on yourself. The Christian life is meant to be increasingly dependent on His power working within you.
Wow! There’s something INCREDIBLE going on @ Mars Hill! It’s in the atmosphere & all I can say, “It’s a move of God!” We’re busy attending to last minute details in order to offer THREE excellent worship experiences for the broken, battered, & bruised! Please join us and experience “Resurrection Power” this Easter!
Good Friday is the Friday immediately preceding Easter Sunday. It is celebrated traditionally as the day on which Jesus was crucified. Why is Good Friday referred to as “good”? What the Jewish authorities and Romans did to Jesus was definitely not good (see Matthew chapters 26-27). However, the results of Christ’s death are very good!
I’m starting a brand new series this Easter called, “Cheaters.” Why the title “Cheaters?” Everyday, we face a variety of responsibilities and opportunities: work..family..hobbies…sports leagues…community events…the list is endless. Each of these things competes for out most valuable resource, OUR TIME. To give each of these the time it deserves or demands would require more time than we have. So, we cheat. We give up something in hopes of gaining something else of greater value. So, we cheat! Come hear a life changing message that’ll cause you to reevaluate everything you do! As a matter of fact, grab three friends and bring them with you and discuss how you’ll “cheat.” Trust me, this series will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
Now that I have your attention…the fact that you decided to continue reading after insulting you is an indication that you are a person of profound courage. For almost everyone, the words “cheater” or “cheating” has negative connotations, especially if you’ve ever been cheated. Students cheat in school. Adults cheat on their income taxes. Husbands cheat on their wives. Wives cheat on their husbands. Most of us at one time or another has cheated!
When we cheat, we chose to give up one thing in hopes of gaining something else of greater value. As I stated before, we’re all cheaters. Daily we make decisions to give up one thing in order to gain something else. Everyday we face a variety of responsibilities and opportunities: work…family…hobbies…fraternities & sororities…social clubs…sports leagues…the list is endless. Each competes for our most valuable resource, OUR TIME. But to give each of these the time it demands or deserves would require more time than we have. So we cheat.
I invite you to join us this Easter as I begin a new series called “Cheaters.” Trust me, you will not want to miss a single weekend!

Skeptics may debate the validity of Scripture or argue the existence of God, but no one can deny your personal experiences with Him. When you tell your story of how God has worked a miracle in your life, or how he has blessed you, transformed you, lifted and encouraged you, perhaps even broken and healed you, no one can argue or debate it. You go beyond the realm of knowledge into the realm of relationship with God.
Today, I challenged our congregation to tell the 2nd greatest story ever – THEIR STORY! Additionally, I challenged them to write it & share with others how God transformed their lives. You don’t have to attend Mars Hill to write your story. In fact, I challenge you to join us and tell the world about Christ’s transforming power!
Our leaders met this past Thursday to discuss and discern what God would have us to do corporately regarding the tragedy that rocked Haiti. Although there are some conservative Christians labeling this as “God’s judgment,” we, however will take the high road & pray prayers bold enough to “WAKE… GOD UP.” Please click the link for more information & join us!
These are a few words that come to mind regarding the earthquake that rocked Haiti. Our leaders will meet tonight to discuss our church’s response to this great tragedy. I will share our plan of action tomorrow.
Labeling any natural disaster as God’s judgment is nonsense. True “judgment begins with God’s family” (1Peter4:17), not others.
Peter warned that God judges all people according to their deeds. He also disciplines and judges his own children in order to refine them, as Peter has explained in 1 Peter 1:6-7. This judgment purifies and strengthens believers, readying them for God’s Kingdom. Natural disasters are the result of living in a broken world! Please pray for nation of Haiti.
“Lord, let your glory reign in the midst of this devastation.”
