Pastor Cal called me into his office and offered me the job of youth pastor for Pointe North Church. I thought I was out of youth ministry and I thought I was on to other things, yet here I was in an office and Cal making a compelling sales pitch (as only he can). HeContinue reading “4 years ago…”

End of Discussion…discussion
Last night was CRAZY! Nancy, my assistant was out sick all week, my 6 year old has been sick so I have been off my routine and I was going to be preaching on the realities of Satan’s attacks. So, you can imagine there was going to be some warfare going on already. TheContinue reading “End of Discussion…discussion”
Say you wanna revolution?
This Sunday I am going to be sharing a message that I believe will be inspirational and challenging. Isaiah 43:19 says, Behold I am doing a new thing. What is that new thing and how is Pointe North Church a part of that. If you think you simply come, sit, worship and go home andContinue reading “Say you wanna revolution?”
Collide
Students = 288 First timers = 15 Adults = 29 : Total = 309 Last night was the first of our monthly combined services called “Collide”.

New series coming in February
There are a lot of things that as I have grown more mature in my faith that have become non-essentials theologically. Then there are a few things that endure the test of scrutiny. This month we will be looking at undeniable truths. When they are stated…it is the END OF THE DISCUSSION.
Service Evaluation

I am amazed that I get to do this for a living. In the middle school service we had students going after Jesus some for theContinue reading “Service Evaluation”
Top 10 mistakes of 2008 – part 8
mistake #3 – your on your own kid This is one that will probably be on my mistakes of 2009 because I still haven’t developed a process. Last year if a student accepted Christ there was no process in place to guide students into GROWING in Jesus. Now, discipleship is something that seems to beContinue reading “Top 10 mistakes of 2008 – part 8”
Top 10 mistakes of 2008 – part 2
Mistake #9 – Crash Derby This is the second installment of the 10 biggest mistakes of 2008. Picture opening night of our new youth facility. There is a buzz in the air. We have a huge crowd for us at that time, over a hundred students. We had a camera crew doing a commercial forContinue reading “Top 10 mistakes of 2008 – part 2”
Top 10 mistakes of 2008 part 1
Well with all of the top 10 lists around I thought I would add my tidbits. This past year was unbelievable for Alive Youth Ministries. We grew to over 250 in attendance on our mid-week environment. Our volunteers stayed on track for the most part. We had 100 at Summer Breakaway and dozens accepted ChristContinue reading “Top 10 mistakes of 2008 part 1”
