It isn't the fault of our critics that they find our preaching so hard to understand, overburdened w/ ideas & expressions hopelessly out of touch with the mental climate in which they live....So many people come to church with genuine desire to hear what we have to say, yet they are always going back home with the uncomfortable feeling that we are making it too difficult for them to come to Jesus.

The Resurrection matters. Because it matters, your witness, your story matters. Because your story matters, the Spirit matters all the more. Ken teaches at CrossPoint Community Church Westgreen as part of their Life That Matters series.

Ken does wk. 2 of CrossPoint v. Zombies at the EightTen campus. Leads us to understand that instead of devouring one another, we are called to devour Christ. Creepy? No, it's correct Christology.

Vicar Ken updates and translates a sermon of Martin Luther's entitled, "All One Cake" in which he unpacks 1 Corinthians 10:15-16 and discusses what the Lord's Supper really is and what it means for our life.

Ken kicks off CrossPoint Community Church's series: CrossPoint v. Zombies with, "How to Kill Zombies." Wondering what this has to do with Jesus? Just track with Ken for a while...

That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives and character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshiping we are becoming.

Whenever God does something new, he involves people — often unlikely people, frequently surprised and alarmed people.

Change occurs only when a person's stories are reconfigured, reframed or re-authored...The only way to change is to change our narrative.

God gives us space to experiment, grow & mature; God never intrudes. But this doesn't mean God is not with us, not watching us, not intimately familiar with our comings & goings.

Our awareness is all that is alive and maybe sacred in any of us. Everything else about us is dead machinery.

God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
