Sunday was an incredible day at LCC.  There was a very high energy and excitement during our worship and teaching time and the energy in the hallways and around the coffee bar was contagious.  I taught an intro. to the Gospel of Luke.  I will be teaching through Luke and it has been a blast [...]

Last night I met with my monthly men’s discipleship group.  We had just read John Maxwell’s Be a People Person.  One of the topics we talked about was that to be a successful leader we have to be willing to risk with both our dreams and in our relationships with other people.  We talked about what [...]
