A Helpful Lent Resource…

Lent is something most people don't even think about except when it's all over their clothes. This however is not the Lent I want to talk about here. Traditionally, Lent is the penitential preparation of the believer—through prayer, repentance, penance, alms-giving, and self-denial. For many orthodox churches and denominations it is the annual commemoration of Holy Week, marking the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events of the Passion of Christ on Good Friday, which then culminates in the celebration on Easter Sunday of [...]

ReThink Church: Pt 2 – What is Worship?

I am currently teaching a series called ReThink Church which I am recapping on this blog with a few extra  thoughts.  This second teaching will be broken into several parts so the post won't be so long and allowing me not to rush through it.  If you haven't read Pt.I, take the time to read it first.  It lays the foundation that informs all the rest of this series. Having looked at what the church is, [...]
