Church
It’s Time to Engage!
It’s difficult to explain what is happening at Discover Life Church. In the last four weeks we have seen an increase of hunger for God’s tangible presence as well as a holy curiosity for His Word. We have increased in every area of the ministry. And I’m being told that for that to happen during…
Read MoreThrive! Don’t just Survive
Godly intimacy has enemies. Its greatest enemy is found in life itself. Life has needs and wants and they continually and incessantly cry out for our attention and affection. Ironically, life wants to create intimacy with whatever satiates its needs and wants. I call this the survival syndrome the Bible calls it idolatry. We weren’t…
Read MoreThe Fight for the Inner Room
I’m in a season where I’m being challenged in creating a greater environment of intimacy with God. More than ever, I hear a call for me to separate myself to the inner room – some call it the secret place. I pray. I pray throughout the day…I pray continually…. But what I’m talking about is…
Read MoreWhy We Lose Focus and Momentum
As a Pastor of a growing congregation, I spend a lot of time contemplating why people lose spiritual focus and momentum. One of my greatest frustrations is seeing people receive a breakthrough one week and lose it the following week! I’ve come to one conclusion and one solution…here it is: Until people learn to live…

I have one goal this year. I’m praying through it. I’m meditating on it. I’m planning for it. I’m acting on it.

As God’s children, one of our foundational purposes is the process of constantly become like Christ. We’re supposed be on a continual journey to maturity. Our calling, gifting and anointing is fined-tuned and developed by our faithful…
Read MoreIt May Stink Sometimes…
I believe one of the greatest lies the enemy uses to disconnect christians from their God-given purpose is to convince them that they can serve God separate from belonging to a fellowship. Here’s my take… Jesus died for the world so when the world receives Him, they’ll become His church. The church became His arms,…
Read MoreLooking for Your Purpose?
Connecting people to their God-given purpose is, in my opinion, the primary responsibility of every leader in ministry. And when I say leader, I mean pastor, teacher, evangelist, apostle, prophet and any type of leadership role that exist in church today. Within this responsibility is every form of discipleship. And the goal of discipleship is…

Read MoreThe Wish
What if God did for you as He did for King Solomon? He appeared to Solomon, in his dream, and basically granted him a wish! (1 Kings 3:5). Seriously, what would you do? What would you ask for? We all want to think we would do the same as Solomon. To make you feel better,…
