Gospel Grid, Sermon Series by Wil Galkin

Sometimes Christians can feel overwhelmed or under equipped when taking the gospel to those around them. We can be burdened about everyone and end up reaching no one. What is needed is a Gospel Grid. This series of messages comes from a pre-service series by Will Galkin.

Eat Food, Grow Relationships, Give the Gospel

Some of Jesus best Gospel messages didn’t come in a formal, monologue format. Many of His best Gospel messages came around the dinner table. Matthew 9:9-12  And as Jesus…saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. And it came [...]

LYNW: What to Look For?

We have called this Love Your Neighbor Week (LYNW), but what are we looking for? If you serve the bruised and hurting you will never lack an audience. Whether they are “down & out” or “up & in” everybody has a past of some kind. Some are transparent about their past, others are illusive. Jesus’ [...]

What is a Divine Appointment?

Why Summer Adventure Club?

Around this time of year, I get a steady stream of direct-mail advertisements from Christian publishers touting their latest and greatest Vacation Bible School programs. In a few weeks, you won’t be able to drive through your neighborhood without seeing banners promoting the VBS at the church around the corner. Nearly all conservative churches hold [...]

Why I Love the Sportsmen’s Dinner

I love the Sportsmen’s Dinner! We had a great time this past Friday. Jerry Sivntsky was our guest speaker and did a great job preaching. 289 hunters, fishermen and “wanna-be’s” showed up to eat moose, to get free hunting gear and to see some incredible mounts. While it was a memorable evening, here are a [...]

Calling All Hunters…

That means you have a very short time to invite your unsaved coworkers, friends, and family to one of the most exciting events [...]
