More Than...

Phil Ware talks about the need for our churches and our people to focus on becoming JesuShaped as they live the Kingdom of God and not go for gimmicks to solve our church problems.

Biblical Foundation for Online Outreach Strategies

Phil Ware acknowledges the burnout and frustration in our church leaders from having to do church online and virtually, but at the same time challenges us to go back to the book of Acts and see how using our technologies to share Jesus is essential.

Instead of spending all of our time focused on re-gathering, we need to ask ourselves how we are have been doing the essential things that go with being Jesus' church

Resurrection Sunday!

Phil Ware and Demetrius Collins have put together a worship experience for folks who cannot make it to a church assembly or whom are uncomfortable with church worship in a building.

Today is Resurrection Sunday for many Christians around the world, and it is a reminder that Jesus is alive and we can have a genuine relationship with Him, everyday!

Skipping Communion?

Phil Ware reflects on the words of Jesus, the actions of the apostle Paul, and the example of a couple of men in his life, all focused on the theme of reconciliation.

Jesus didn't pray for unity just so Christians could sit in a happy circle, hold hands, and sing Kum Ba Yah around the campfire at church camp.

Phil Ware finishes his series on "Give Me Jesus" focusing on our role as his people to be his presence to the world.

Christmas isn't over; it has only just begun if we recognize that it is our job, together, to be Jesus to the world!

Experience Immanuel

Phil Ware finishes up his 5 part series on experiencing Immanuel and summarizes the content of the four previous articles.

Why do we settle for so much less of Jesus than He promised us?

What Kind of Church?

Phil Ware shares with us two kinds of early leaders and churches and groups, Paul and Barnabas become examples of those kinds of churches; each is faithful, takes risks, and faces opposition from the evil one.

There are two kinds of faithful leaders, groups, and churches. Which are you?
