THE KING IS COMING
Last night, I waited with anticipation to see if "the king" Lebron James, was was signing with our Miami Heat. The moment of anticipation was orchestrated very well by the NBA and ESPN. It will forever be one of those moments in which you would remember where you were...
ORDER vs. DISORDER
Order and structure seems to be the word for MHC this summer. This began the first week of June and continues to challenge us every week. I’ve been personally challenged to increase the level of Godly order, not just in myself, but also in my family and church. ...
PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR DAUGHTER…
My daughter Calysta has been training very hard for the IDC National Competition. She's been training about 10 hours a day, not including her personal training of weight lifting and aerobics. She has a very good chance of winning Miss IDC, which is the all around...
BE THERE!
Last week's message one for my personal record books. I preached a message titled "BE THERE". It's a passion of mine for people to see the value of "being the church" by "being at church." Yes, there is a demonic paradigm that deceives people in believing that...

YIELDING
I'm at our off-site retreat with our executive board and pastoral staff. The Lord is already doing some great things in us. I guess I'm a bit knuckle-headed, I should have done this several times already, if not, once a year. I guess in my "older years" I'm...
RECOVERY TIME…
I’ve been nursing a severe back injury since last Tuesday. And one thing I can tell you is that I can’t wait until I’m back to full capacity. I’ve come to realize that every situation in our lives carry a lesson that reinforces a Kingdom principle. In this case,...
SEEKING, SEARCHING, INQUIRING
