Why You Should Preach Through Galatians

Preaching through Galatians has stretched me as a pastor and deepened our church’s grasp of the gospel. It’s a bold, Spirit-filled letter that repeats the same truth in different ways—and the challenge has been keeping that message clear, compelling, and fresh each week.

What God Knows vs. What People See

Worship leaders must align their public reputation with their private character, striving for holiness beyond the stage. If who people think you are doesn’t match who God knows you are, you’re not leading with integrity—you’re just performing.

Some Things Aren’t Meant to Be Tied Down

One Fourth of July at a friend’s house, I tied a rope to a bottle rocket and staked it to the ground—just to see what would happen. It turns out, trying to control something meant to launch is a great way to get burned.

Margin (Not a Monument)

Rocky Creek isn’t building for comfort—we’re making room for people to encounter Jesus. As we launch the M2 initiative, we’re choosing to move forward with faith that is cautious but not timid.

Ridgecrest Fuge 2025 (Into the Light)

This week at FUGE Ridgecrest, we witnessed students encounter Jesus in real, personal ways. From deep conversations to bold decisions, God moved—and we’re not going home the same.

Waiting Well

Waiting on God isn’t passive; it’s an act of faith. If you’re stuck in a season of delay or uncertainty, you’re not alone. Scripture is full of people who waited—and saw God's faithfulness on the other side.

Displaying Love

Real love isn’t just about feelings—it’s about sacrifice. In a world that often chooses self over others, Jesus showed us a better way. He loved by serving, by giving, and by laying down His life. That’s the kind of love we’re called to show every day.
