got questions?
We’re implementing a new method in our teaching and preaching ministry at Impact Church. The Sundays that fall between message series, we’ll employ a “got questions?” message. In the “got guestions?” message, we’ll try to answer all the questions submitted to us via the connection cards on Sunday mornings. I’m pretty sure many of these…
Read MoreYes, It’s Free!!
I’m super excited about our church-wide outreach this Saturday. We will cause a stir in the community as we impact hundreds of people by giving them a FREE car wash, pizza and drinks. Our attempt is to have a captured audience under a tent waiting while we wash their vehicles. Meanwhile, we’ll serve them pizza,…
Read MoreRED SEA MOMENTS
Ever had a “Red Sea” moment? A “Red Sea” moment is when you have your back against a seeming devastation, all the while facing an aggressive force that desires to bring much damage to you. After reading the story of the Israelites and Moses during their exodus from Egypt, I realized something…God led them there! That’s…
Read MoreSo Proud of Our Daughter Church!
Last night was a pivotal time for our daughter church, Iglesia Visa Nueva. It was such an honor for my wife and I, along with a very large crowd from Impact church being there to honor what God has been doing in the life of Iglesia Vida Nueva. Pastors Landy and Maritza Posadas are doing…
Read MoreBOILING POINT!
I believe our nation is coming to a boiling point. I sense we are entering days of anarchy, rebellion and chaos. Our nation is at war with itself, and the war is over ideology. The division of philosophy in this nation is so wide that implosion is imminent. But I believe this will be the…

It’s painful to suffer lack. It’s painful to suffer hardship. But it’s also painful to grow. It’s painful to change. It’s painful to learn. It’s painful to…
Read MoreBuying the Field
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Matt. 13:44 I’ve been giving much thought to “value” here lately. I’ve learned that the direction of your life will…
Read MoreThe Normalcy Bias
As a pastor, I’m a student of human behavior. The mind of man is very fickle and unpredictable. We are definitely very unique. We are the most intelligent species on earth, but our mental aptitude and intelligence is so extreme that it breeds unintelligence. Unfortunately, we become too smart for our own good. We develop…
Read MoreHindsight – The Compass to Our Future
It’s been researched that 99% of life’s experiences withdraw into our subconscious, but only 1% makes it into our conscious memory. And it’s in those very moments that we define ourselves. These moments are laced with impact and defining in nature. These memories could be positive or negative, happy or sad; it’s in the memory of…
Read MorePassion for God = Compassion for People
The apostle John is described in scripture as unique in comparison to the other disciples. In the gospel according to John, He called himself the “disciple in whom Jesus loved.” I don’t think he was trying to represent himself as one loved more by God than the others, rather I believe he was trying to…
