  • Project Gospel

    Project Gospel

    Over the course of the last year, I have been honored by several people abroad who have asked me to come speak at pastor’s conferences and local churches—from India to Kenya to Pakistan. Each time I had to decline because I have a local church here in the United States I get to invest my…

  • Jesus’s Christmas Vision

    Jesus’s Christmas Vision

    Last year on Christmas Eve we exposited the Christmas praise in Luke 2:14 together. This year, we heard about the Christmas hope, Christmas faith, Christmas joy, and Christmas peace we enjoy because of the incarnation of Jesus Christ. We have reveled in His many promises for His people and His earth—promises of restoration, redemption, justification,…

  • 2020 Year In Review

    2020 Year In Review

    2020 was quite the year. I learned so much about what it really means to pastor a local church, and I am humbled by all the connections I have had the privilege of making. I have come to love the bride of Christ more deeply than I can describe, and I have come to understand…

  • When Jesus Went To Sin City

    When Jesus Went To Sin City

    I was told by another pastor that the church I pastor is full of horrible people. This other pastor was not wrong. The Church at Sunsites is a local church full of unrighteous people whose only hope is to be clothed in Christ’s righteousness and be sanctified by His Holy Spirit. Really, I pity those…

  • The Truth About Inward Focus

    The Truth About Inward Focus

    Have you ever heard anyone say that Christ will accept all of those who simply come? In Matthew’s Gospel so far, we have seen a few things about Christ’s teaching that contradict the idea that He is willing to accept all people. Christ’s Sermon on the Mount prefaces all His other teaching in Matthew’s Gospel.…

  • Christianity, More Than Belief in God or Church Attendance

    Christianity, More Than Belief in God or Church Attendance

    In the previous verse, we saw Jesus give authority to His disciples over unclean spirits and over every sickness. This authority was meant as a sign that they carried with them the authority of the Messiah. We also saw that God provides gifts to believers today, but not as signs of either salvation or authority.…

  • Proclaim 2019- Session 2- Teaching

    Proclaim 2019- Session 2- Teaching

    One of the easiest things for teachers to do is rush to prepare. We can easily fail to put the time needed into knowing before teaching. The result is that we misrepresent God’s word. God’s word is far too important to present flippantly. Preparation is the difficult and time consuming part of this process. Today,…

  • Proclaim 2019- Session 1- Evangelism

    Proclaim 2019- Session 1- Evangelism

    I think that evangelism is one of those things that well-meaning churchy people make way more complicated that it needs to be. Evangelism simply means intentionally sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible. We are the ones who add to this great commission all sorts of burdens and requirements that…

  • Reaching Local Communities in the U.S.

    Reaching Local Communities in the U.S.

    Through the work we are doing, people get to hear about God’s amazing saving grace, and we get to help people establish themselves in society, provide needs for families and children, defend the unborn, and care for those who are generally uncared for or unloved. What better cause is there and what better thing is…

  • Renewing the Vision for Christ-Centered Churches

    Renewing the Vision for Christ-Centered Churches

    There are really only two types of churches. One type of church is focussed on gaining and keeping people. Everything about the church in its design, atmosphere, ministries, programs, buildings, and budget is utilized to this end. The other type of church is focussed on following Christ and participating with Christ in His mission. Everything…
