Who You Should Vote For
Based on the response to my last post and the current series at Fellowship, I'm not the only one who's politicked right now! Good.And one of the most asked questions I'm hearing is: But what can I do to make a difference? That's a great question. After all, the political process seems so much bigger than those of us it's designed to protect. So what can you do? The answer is: vote.But whether you find yourself standing on the left or the right, ...
Politicked?
I guess you could say I'm politicked! I'm not sure about you, but lately I've been asking some tough questions about politics, religion and what role I should play in the discussion of the two. With issues like the economy, the war and future of our country dominating the landscape, don't we as the Church have a responsibility to point people to the answers they seek and the truth they need to hear? After all, isn't that what Jesus did, even in ...
Name Drop vs. Name Lift
Lisa and I just got back from a seven day trip to Sydney, Austrailia where we spoke a total of 10 times in 6 days (yeah, we're fatigued, but on fire!)

Guest Post – Pastor John Cross (YJC) – When God's Kingdom Doesn't Grow
There's a lot of discussion these days regarding explosively growing churches, and growing churches in general. When I hear these stories, though, I like to ask two questions. The first one is easy: "Who are these churches trying to reach?" The second question stings a little: "Who are they actually reaching?"I don't think I've met a pastor yet who would not say they want to reach those who are without Christ. Yet, when you ...
Face-to-Face with a Porn Star
It's not every day that you get the opportunity to share the gospel with an "adult film" star. But that's exactly what happened to me recently. It was an amazing encounter that I believe God used in a very powerful way. I wanted you to get a chance to hear the whole story and see last week's service at Fellowship Church. So check out this video...
ineed2change.com
We started with a question that everyone can answer, "What would you change about your life?" Let's face it; whether it's big or small, we all have something we would change. But when we began ineed2change.com, we had no idea the kind of response we would receive, or the amount.Looking back, it's easy to see that not only was it one of the most popular series we've ever done; it was also one of the most powerful in the lives of the ...
