All of life is a dance if we will only remember who needs to take the lead!

Closing Time

Phil Ware finishes the third in a series of posts that focus on the 2014 July mission trip to Lima, Peru and Sagrada Familia children's home and he focuses on the last day of saying good bye and welcoming new children into the family of God.

Sooner or later you have to say good bye, but what does good bye really mean?

'If it Aint Broke, Don't Fix It?'

What does it mean to really be redeemed?

I Wonder What I Don't Get?

There's a lot the disciples missed about Jesus, I wonder what I am not getting?

Do You Believe in Miracles? Yes!

Do you really believe?

O Come, Please Come, Immanuel

Worship Is a Lifestyle

Brian McCutchen talks about worship and how it must be a daily part of our lives or it is not real worship like the early Christians shared and lived.

It's not a Sunday morning deal we make with God!

So if they didn't and couldn't, how dare we?

People of power and influence want others to know it. Not Jesus.

So how do we get real about the church?

Beyond the sacred Page

Phil Ware continues his series on The Yearning, our need and desire and longing for Jesus to be real to us and close to us and experienceable in our daily lives.

How can Jesus be real to me and not just someone I read about on the pages of the Bible?

Why keep getting up?
