If we believe that Jesus’ kingdom is not of this world… If we believe that the soul is not a physical part of one’s body… If we believe that hearts must be ready to hear the word of God in order to truly receive it… If we believe that salvation comes from an internal commitment [...]
I’m not sure where the following article is from, but I have it on a sheet of paper in my office. It’s basically a list of how prayer was at work in the book of Acts. The book of Acts is important because it shows what the first actions of the early church were as [...]
I have seen two types of ministry in my limited experience in life with religion, with churches, and with Christians. The first is really large, well run Christian organizations and churches. They usually have great websites, charismatic leaders, good design, professional worship, and normal people. I generally really like what I see. But I find [...]
Written by Caleb Barrows, planter at Neighborhood Church in Adrian, MI Any Christian is kidding themselves if they don’t experience bouts of “what-the-heck-is-this-Jesus-thing”. Even a quick glimpse at the Psalms (the emotional boxing ring in Scripture) shows the Psalmist questioning God almost as much as he praises him. This can make for a pretty rough [...]
Written by Chris Freeman, Planter of Pine Hills City Church in Fort Wayne, IN "Your church is going to die." Those were some of the very first words spoken at a church planting conference I recently attended. Talk about a morale booster.

Written by Nate Hamblin, planter of Neighborhood Church in Adrian, MI It’s August. It’s going to be hot. If you’re like me, when the heat rises your top priority is finding relief, usually spelled–AC! But there are times when air conditioning isn’t an option. I attended an outdoor wedding a few weeks back on the [...]
Why parent/child retreats are so beneficial When I was young, my father and I went on a father/son camp out with our church. I was probably 8 or 9 years old and to me, my father was the coolest person in the world. Looking back at that camp out, I am amazed that I liked it. [...]
Written by Chris Freeman, FEC Church Planter Have you ever seen someone post something on the internet and think, "I can't believe you said that?" It comes from people you know well. They're good people. They're your neighbors. They're your co-workers. They're your friends. (Maybe they're you... yikes!) But when you see their tweet or their Facebook [...]
By Landon Jordan, Lead Pastor at New Anthem Church There’s one thing in life you should never pray for. But before we get there, let me remind you of a story that’s all too familiar in pop-culture—good guys win, bad guys lose. Have you noticed this? Is it not the plot of every action movie? [...]
