I heard Craig Groeschel said something that continues to resonate with me. He said, we have a tendency of overestimating what God wants to do short-term and underestimating what he wants to do long-term. Yet, they fail to plan for 5,000 long term. For instance, we get disappointed and disillusion when we don’t see things [...]

We had an awesome weekend at The Bridge. We, again, had record attendance and saw people give their lives to Christ. These moments remind me what church planting is about; reaching people for God’s glory. This was the first time that we followed up with new believers on the spot. We usually have them fill [...]
