"We’ve never done it that way before” and “I wish we would try something different” are two phrases that probably every pastor and pastor’s wife have heard before. We personally believe the church must be careful not to get mired in routine, nor should it change just for the sake of change. The church’s purpose is to love God and love others. The best way to fulfill that purpose is to be and

“Seek first the kingdom of God” - Matthew 6:33I am asking everyone here at Gospel to embrace this verse and live with a Jesus First mentality. We are entering a time of increased ministry involvement and evangelistic outreach. During this time of growth it is understood that we will have to make some important decisions. Some of these decisions will include large purchases and building for the

Psalm 18:30 tells us, “As for God, His way is perfect.” Often times we may not know or understand what God is doing in our lives. We must take comfort in the fact that God knows what He is doing. If God created the world and holds all of life in His hands, don’t you think He can take care of you? The Bible also tells us that God knows every sparrow that falls and He clothes the grass of the field

What should the church focus on today? With all of the church growth movement information that abounds, it is increasingly difficult to know where to pour our attention. Which style of music? What type of small groups are the most effective for discipleship in today’s society? What type of building should we build? Should we dress formal or casual? And the list of possible questions could go on

There is an epidemic of people being drawn to social networking sites such as myspace.com. The days of communicating in person or even on the phone is being replaced by text messaging and other electronic programs. The difference today is that these new ways of communicating can be very private and often times lead to communication that is displeasing to God. The problem is that we tend to have a

There has been many books and articles written on the purpose of the church. Unfortunately most people do not understand what the church is all about. The church is not about programs, activities, music, and even hearing sermons. The church is more than just an organization. I have heard some good definitions for what the church is, however, the best one I have heard comes from an unknown source.
