The Old Testament in 60 Seconds (Check out the New Testament in 60 Seconds here.)

This is the video promo for our current series, Game of Life, at People’s Church. (I make a small cameo appearance in this one.)

Some of the outreach that took place at People’s Church during the month of December.

I came across this video from NewSpring Church in South Carolina. It is the story of the prodigal son. This video speaks to me a lot because I spent the early part of my life running from God. It is also a great reminder of those that are in a similar situation. If you happen to be reading this and you have run away from your Heavenly Father, I encourage you to come home.

Luke 15:17-24
“When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.’ So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.”

New series Green Peace starts this Sunday at People’s Church.

The “marshmallow test”. This video is a great illustration on how hard it can be to resist instant gratification. Enjoy.

Take it slow. I hope you are able to take it slow this labor day. At my house this will be a day of chillin and grillin with friends. This video is a reminder that when we slow down you can see things you would normally miss. Plus slow motion just looks cool. Have a good one.

If you could travel through time and talk to the 17 year old version of yourself what would you say? Especially if you knew you might not live another 17 years? That is what this video is about.

As I watch this video I am reminded of Psalm 39:4-7

“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, how fleeting my life is. You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath. We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.”

Now go and make the most of your fleeting life. While you still have time.

Tomorrow is the launch of our Wednesday Connection. It is designed to help the adults, students and kids of People’s Church grow spiritually and relationally. We have been working really hard to make this kick off a success. Looking forward to it.

The Chair:

A look at the lives that have been changed and will be changed sitting in the chairs at People’s Church. 

Every story and statement is true, it wasn’t pre-scripted. Each person was told to say in a few words how they or a loved one had been impacted while sitting in the chairs at People’s Church, how they were praying for someone to be changed, or what the chair meant to them.
