Romans 10:15 ESV

People can’t know about Jesus Christ unless we tell them. It’s that simple. And while the word preach can mean someone who stands up and deliver a sermon, not everyone has been gifted with teaching.

More so, in the age of mega-churches, this is the case at a lot of churches today. It’s not because the staff is lazy or taking the morning off, in fact the staff is super busy.

What’s Your Next Step? (and mine)

Your walk of faith is all about next steps. I get the privilege of teaching a class at LifePoint Church called Discover LifePoint. (If you attend LifePoint and have never attended this class, you can register for September’s class here!) Right out of the gate we make sure that everyone recognizes that we know that everyone is on the same journey and we are here to help you get to a Christ-centered life. Next steps happens for everyone, new believers, people growing in their faith, people maturing in the faith…

 

what’s your next step?

 

The point is, is that everyone is on this path. We may be on different steps but we are all on the staircase. Sometimes it’s personal growth and sometimes it comes in the form of tangibles. (more…)

The Importance of Systems in Church Growth

 

A lot of times people confuse what systems really are. Those who know me best, would agree that I obsess over details. I think a lot of people confuse this “obsession with details” with the idea of systems.
