The Present Future at Messiah: December 2008
http://presentfuturemessiahokc.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 9, 2008. Several of you responded to a request I made at the end of one of my sermons to share with me how you would most like to grow in your spiritual walk. Many responded with a desire to grow in personal devotions. The largest number of responses indicated a desire to grow in the area of their own personal ability to share their faith. Hannah had the idea of video taping members sharing their witnessing stories as a possible way for them to share their story. View my complete profile.

The Present Future at Messiah: BEING the church
http://presentfuturemessiahokc.blogspot.com/2008/10/being-church.html
Wednesday, October 22, 2008. If not, what should we do? American churches emphasize faith as knowlege.

Friday, September 26, 2008. Interesting QUESTION: We know that Jesus' strategy was to go where the people were already "hanging out". What would Messiah's church's ministries possibly look like and where would they be if we did this? I wonder how many people stop at the corner of Portland and NW every day. They sit there and look around, daydreaming, waiting for the light to change. Do they ever wonder what's going on in that church that they pass everyday? A place that sends the message to the people wh...
