“Today” living: Personal Growth Statements about “today”
What an amazing start to our new year. Yesterday, we kicked off our series “#MYCHURCH” with a challenge to stop wasting our today by spending it on a “someday.” The challenge at the end of service was to not necessarily make resolutions for the year but to resolve to grow every day by keeping our focus…

Done with Guilt: Recap of 10 items from Sunday at KFirst #ChangeTheStation
We’re coming out of week 2 of our series “Change the Station” and Anne and I had quite a few requests for some of the notes from the message, “Get Tuned In” as we dealt with the issue of guilt. Scripture: Romans 7:18-25; 8:1-6; 26-39 The state of your life is usually a reflection of…

It’s in my blood: My Challenge to Kfirst for Global Missions
Went back home to Detroit a month ago a sat for a lunch with my parents. No idea how it came up, but I mentioned I had A-negative blood. It sent dad on a thought-tangent he couldn’t let go of. Even hours later, at a Red Wings game, he was still bringing it up trying to…

“Warning: Choking Hazard” New series starting @kalamazoofirst
As a kid, the idea of choking frightened me. If you’ve never choked on anything, you’ve never felt the sheer panic of fighting to regain the breath of life that we take so for granted. Just one act of “choking” will have you monitoring the size of food going into your mouth and the amount…

Thoughts for @kalamazoofirst to keep in mind for Easter Sunday!
One thing I love about Passion Week is the blogs and post from other pastors. I’ve been so inspired by so many of them pumped about what’s taking place this weekend! I wanted to challenge our Kfirst peeps to be bold during this Easter season. Remember, 82% of people will say “yes” to being invited to church…

Information for a free gift…and 5 things for @kalamazoofirst
Top of the morning to ya! It’s Monday so get some coffee and buckle up for a great week. I laugh at Facebook links, Twitter links, and the spam emails that simply say, “Click here for a free gift.” The ad isn’t funny. It’s knowing that we are so desperate to get “free” stuff that…
