Jesus Worship Him 365

This past Saturday in my final message in a series titled Master of the Feast (Master of the Feast Pt.

Journal Entry III

Monday, 7-27-09 HIV/AIDS Project
My favorite project visit of the trip so far. The staff and children along with the the support group was just awesome! This project was about 2 hours outside of Nairobi in a more rural area. For that reason maybe it felt like the people were just bit warmer than city folks. [...]

Pastor’s Note: You Wouldn’t Like Me When I’m Angry!

 
“You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry!”  This is that memorable line from the late 70’s early 80’s TV show, The Incredible Hulk. The show featured the late Bill Bixby as a rather mild-mannered David Banner who when pushed or bullied would transform into a green muscle-bound giant of a man played by world-class bodybuilder [...]

Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations

I came across an article recently that talked about the 5 practices of fruitful congregations. I thought you might like to read them and see how our church (Wasatch Hills) or your church (wherever you attend) is doing.  The article was written by Robert Schnase and can be found on www.sermoncentral.com
