Sunday, April 20th, 2008The ultimate goal of building biblical community is to bring glory to God and honor Jesus. The most visible expression of this is believer’s in the local church who truly love one another. Christian love that flows from the Gospel is thoroughly missional and the most powerful evangelistic tool that we have as the church.

Being Missional - part 2
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007John 20:19-21
On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the [...]
Being Missional - part 1
Thursday, June 21st, 2007Over the next few weeks I will be teaching and writing on the notion of being missional. I intend to answer the question of “what does a missional church look like” and more specfically, how is The Point Community Church a missional church?
The missional church is very different from a church that supports, values or participates in missions either [...]
Stetzer Brings It To The SBC
Saturday, June 16th, 2007Among my ‘preacher’ friends we have a saying that is intended to encourage faithful exposition and teaching of Scripture…. it’s “BRING IT”. We’ll contact each other on Monday or Tuesday and ask “did ya bring it?” Well folks, Ed Stetzer absolutely did bring it to about 11,000 Southern Baptists. Stetzer, who is Director for Research [...]
Religion versus the Gospel
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007This is why The Point Community Church exists. There are so many people out there who are addicted to religion. It’s the crack cocaine of the church. Nobody thinks it’s them, no church wants to admit that they are built on religion and no pastor wants to swallow his pride and say that his sermons [...]
Blogging For Women…
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007Kari McGrath has a note-worthy blog that I encourage all women to bookmark and read. Kari is an authentic and Godly woman who serves the Lord faithfully alongside her husband at Cedarmore Camp And Conference Center and The Point Church.

Day two of the Acts 29 Bootcamp - session 3
Thursday, March 22nd, 2007Keep in mind that my notes are RAW. I will clean these up as I have time.

“Biblical Missiology”
The medium is the message.
The expression of the church that we develop is a demonstration of our theology.
Our medium can only be the Gospel.
What we do when we gather should match what we do when we scatter. Our [...]
The Real Issue
Friday, March 9th, 2007
Rather than responding to each and every email regarding the Courier Journal article. I am posting any developments here as warranted. I believe that some of the initial ’stink’ is beginning to fade. I believe this because I am getting fewer emails from people I don’t know. I have received many emails from across the state [...]
Posting & Pondering
Wednesday, March 7th, 2007On Mr. Hawpe and his article regarding the ‘indecent’ prayer I offered in the Ky. House of Representatives…
Mr. Hawpe of the Courier Journal has, thankfully, moved on to a new and more…ummm…….sensitive topic.
Mr. Hawpe specifically addresses his article and some of the reponses he received. Ofcourse, he has only chosen the comments that give him [...]
Statement Concerning “Freedom Of Religion Is Not A License To Break Free Of Decency”
Monday, March 5th, 2007When I agreed to serve as a volunteer chaplain for the Kentucky Senate and House of Representatives I was never asked about my religion, denomination or beliefs. Nor was I approached because of my politics. To my knowledge, the only reason I was asked to lead prayer in both chambers was that I am a Pastor [...]
