I walked into an Apple store and couldn’t resist the giant popcorn kernals in the windows display. Forget the iPods, looking at that popcorn! The kernals have now been replaced with giant snow balls. Still pondering on how to use them at The Bridge.

Uprising

Just finished reading about 75% of Uprising by Erwin McManus. The book deals with how our pride hinders us from operating out of a place of faith, hope, and love. We often seek to discover God’s purpose for our lives. Unfortunately, we do it from a self-centered perspective. We want to know what’s in it [...]
When?

It’s amazing how time changes. Thus far, we have only had one person at The Bridge who has inquired about messages on CD. Most people now ask, “When will we/you guys start putting messages on the internet?” Messages on-line are sort of an expectation now. Well, I’m happy to say that we are now keeping [...]
After Turkey Affect

We had another great time at The Bridge this Sunday. As the clock hit 10:00am, there were about three people in the theater. I said to myself, “Well, I guess it’s all about the turkey this weekend.” As soon as praise and worship started, people started coming in from the wood works. It was as [...]

Today has been quite quiet. I stepped out this morning to run a few errands, only to be sucked into the chaos of Black Friday. There were tons of people roaming around this morning. My mind is already brewing on possible outreaches for next year. We’ll see what happens.
Merry Turkey

Thanksgiving Day is a great opportunity to give God thanks for all He’s done for us. I’ve always been part of a church that has had a Thanksgiving Day service. As much as I’ve enjoyed Thanksgiving services, I would prefer to spend the entire day with family and catching up on some rest. I really [...]

I’m in the middle of preparing for Sunday’s message. We will be looking at Ephesians 5:21-33. I was truly awestruck as I read of how Christ sanctifies and cleanses her bride by the Word. As husbands, we owe it to our wives to wash them with God’s Word. We can’t prepare a great meal on [...]
Wow!

We had a record attendance at The Bridge this past Sunday. I’m also thankful that He’s allowing us to grow in ethnic diversity. We also launched our children’s environment. The children workers were extremely pumped after the gathering. Seemed like they had a ball! I wish I could have been there, but they told me [...]

We’re about to hit the streets of downtown Silver Spring to do a little promo work for our relationship series tomorrow. My wife told me this morning that there’s a Thanksgiving parade down there today. Yeah! Keep hitting the streets, guys! Stay in the community. Keep engaging the culture.

I’m excited about our new series at The Bridge, Relationship Virus Scan. We’re going to talk about things that have a tendency of attacking the hard drive of romantic relationships. I enjoy speaking on relationships. They affects us in so many ways, you know? Here is the commercial that we showed last week.
