Ten Minute Transformation: Ten Minutes of Intercession That Can Revolutionize Your Life Sept. 15, 2013 – Sunday Morning Message

10 Minute Transformation Title
This morning we finish up our Ten Minute Transformation series. I want to encourage you to follow up on the series in two ways. First, consider purchasing a copy of the book which inspired the series. It’s called “Ten Minute Transformation.” It will be available in just a few weeks. You can preorder it online for 20% off. In addition, we’ll have copies for sale in The Commons in just a few weeks.
Second, consider participating in a TMT group. These are small groups of 3-6 people who will commit to two things. First they will commit to following the 40 day journey outlined in the book Ten Minute Transformation. They will do this by reading and putting into practice one chapter of that book each day for 40 days. These chapters lead group members to experience 12 spiritual practices which take ten minutes or less. Each spiritual practice empowers group members to live out one part of the Sermon on the Mount and experience transformation in their walk with God, relationships with others and use of their possessions.Read More »Ten Minute Transformation: Ten Minutes of Intercession That Can Revolutionize Your Life Sept. 15, 2013 – Sunday Morning Message

No Reservations Required: God’s Other Love (Matt. 8/ Jer. 3) April 14, 2013 – Sunday Morning Message

Kendra and I recently helped her parents–Ken and Nelda–celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.  Ken and Nelda met in the Midland/Odessa, TX area.  He was a fresh-faced and muscled Army man.  She was an attractive and confident office worker.  They dated four months.  Then Ken popped the question.  Nelda’s “Yes!” launched a world tour, as Ken’s army career took them from state to state and country to country.  Their love endured numerous moves, long separations due to war, and the challenges of cancer and multiple sclerosis.  Fifty years after their wedding day, their children, childhood friends, siblings, in-laws, neighbors, nephews and nieces crowded into the backyard of Ken and Nelda’s stucco home in sunny Phoenix.  Kendra’s brother smoked beef ribs, brisket, and pulled pork in a smoker the size of a swimming pool.  A cake fashioned in the shape of the earth was presented–a flag waving proudly from each place on that globe where Ken and Nelda had lived.  The back porch was filled with portable tables and folding chairs.  Family members shared stories and laughed.  Nelda cried for joy.  Ken smiled and shook hands.  My daughter Jordan and my brother’s son Joshua provided entertainment.  Before we ate, we held hands in a giant circle and thanked God for the blessing of this marriage and a love that had lasted fifty years.  What a joy it was to celebrate this love!Read More »No Reservations Required: God’s Other Love (Matt. 8/ Jer. 3) April 14, 2013 – Sunday Morning Message
