I received the following email from a Resurrection attender last month. I have included my response below and some additional thoughts. They have each been edited for anonymity. Email Received: Has Pastor Adam ever broached the subject with the congregation on appropriate attire when attending church? I imagine that this is a rather sticky subject, […]
At the conclusion of the three week study on the Gospel according to Mark I asked the class to reflect on two questions. I found the responses to be fascinating. Each person has a distinct understanding of Jesus. I feel that all of the following are good responses to the questions, but each person may […]
I have had the opportunity to lead the Builders Sunday Morning Small Group for three weeks studying the gospel according to Mark. This question was from the final class meeting. Is Christianity the only missionary religion? The answer is no. From the Wikipedia entry for missionary – “A missionary is a member of a religion […]
Nicole and I have started down the journey of looking for a home to purchase. It seems to be a good time to buy and we have received numerous comments about it perhaps being a good idea. It is not easy to predict how long we may be here in the area. We plan to […]
I always hope to continue learning for my own faith journey, leadership, and to be a part of renewing the mainline church. One of the ways that this can be accomplished is through networking and learning at conferences. I personally recommend and will be presenting at Leadership Institute, but I am also considering the following […]

My tendency is to look at other congregations and say that they are far more innovative than we are. However, that is often in terms of use of technology and physical facilities. My conversation partner suggested that Resurrection […]

Speedlinking – April 30, 2008
Congratulations are due to Kevin Watson at I’m a Daddy! Unchurched prefer cathedrals to contemporary church designs – What does your church building look like? Joseph brings the reality of homeless to life at Thursday Night in Chinatown. I was a big fan back in the day and will likely see The X-Files: I Want […]
I have had the opportunity to lead the Builders Sunday Morning Small Group for three weeks studying the gospel according to Mark. This question was from a breakout group studying Mark 8:31-9:1, 9:30-32 and 10:32.34. It is hard to determine the exact time table between each of these episodes. There are six days that are […]
I have had the opportunity to lead the Builders Sunday Morning Small Group for three weeks studying the gospel according to Mark. This question was from a breakout group studying Mark 8:31-9:1, 9:30-32 and 10:32.34. Another good question about fear. I could see the disciples feeling as if they should understand what Jesus was teaching […]
