This morning I was up at 1:30 am getting ready to send the team and my wife off to Haiti for their mission trip. The weather got me thinking about summer. You know, you think about how many of us get so excited about this season—the sun’s out, it's warm, and we want to do things outside—but I want to throw something out there ...

This week is really exciting—it's Father's Day! This means that we get to reflect on what an honor it is to be a dad. We are all trying to be like our heavenly Father and you know, it got me thinking about the core values we have in the church. We're hoping you will begin to have them active in your life. They are life altering. ...

This last weekend I had one of the sisters in our church come up to me and share with me a vision she had. In that vision she saw me trying to climb a ladder out of a pit. I was doing everything I could—with all my might—trying to climb out and then . . . there was Jesus on top of the pit just smiling at me. That's all she saw and

I can't wait to dive into the message again this week, Help I Can't See. This message was working in me months ago and it's actually not just working—it's exploding on the inside—and I'm seeing things so differently, even in my own life. I’m constantly thinking, “Wow, that's an area that I'm ...

I'm very excited about this weekend being Mother's Day. On a personal note, take a moment just to say thanks to your mom. So many times you just don't really know how she's reached out and just cared. She thinks about you 24/7!
 
You know the Bible says that God's thoughts are endless—that the sum of His thoughts over ...

I want to take just a moment, if I could, to get you excited and get you moving forward with the new message series Help I Can't See that starts this weekend. What it’s about really—what we're trying to help you with—is how blind all of us are. The Bible says we see things through a glass dimly. Satan blinds our eyes and ...

Walking through the church this week and seeing the baptism tank rolled into the sanctuary, it really starts stirring me up for what’s going to happen this weekend. Right now we have 51 people that are going to take the next step in their devotion toward their Lord Jesus! If that doesn't excite you, then I'm not sure that Jesus Christ...

Here we are, it's after Easter already, and we’re thinking about so many things, but the most important thing is, what are we going to do from this time forward?
 
I'm going to challenge you at this point. How many of you are picking up a devotional and allowing the Word of God to feed you daily? If you haven't already ...

This is the greatest season a Christian lives for. Easter.
 
It's what Christianity is all about. It's for all those that lived before Jesus and all those that lived after Jesus. It pivots on this very moment in history—when Jesus chose to do the most horrific thing, because He loves us.
 
Every time you think about yourself and...

There has been a bit of misunderstanding going around about my leaving the church. I’m not going anywhere. I just wanted to make that clear. I feel just as called to Muskegon as ever before, but also to be apostolic. Being apostolic simply means to start new works—new churches like Ludington, Norton Shores, and in faith, Manistee in the...

When Jesus was being accused they told Him, “He does this by the power of Beelzebub!” (which means by the power of the devil). How many of us would have wrongfully reacted at that moment? Would you feel good about being told you’re acting like the devil?
 
Jesus had so much assurance and a fantastic vision of who He was in God....

The next couple months are going to be very, very exciting for Life Change Church! We are going to be communicating the vision in a clearer way—not change the vision (because it didn't really change) just clarify it. We carefully selected the words so that people can really walk the vision out.
 
Grow. Love. Reach. It’s as ...

This year I have been constantly thinking about faith. I've always been a person that's been mindful of it, but even more so, I am looking and pressing forward in my life and measuring everything—whether its relationships or the ministry or my personal life or whatever. Is it moving forward?
 
Because the Lord is very clear ...

Hopefully you're as mindful this month as I am about moving forward in your prayer time. What does that mean again? Last time we talked about it being really personal with Him—moving forward which means that you're intentional about it, you wake up in the morning, you go to bed at night or in the middle of the day you're thinking ...

The most important thing we're already learning about is having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. So many people take that part for granted and think that it's all about going to church, that it's having some form of moral conduct, and I'm sure all of that has a play in it, but it's more than that. It’s personal.
