Series: None. This weekend was what we call a “One Hit Wonder”.
Pre-Service: We had...

How Can We Get Our Students To Read The Bible?

“According to a recent Gallup poll, about six in ten Americans (59%) say they read the Bible at least on occasion, with the most likely readers being women, non-whites, older people, Republicans, and...

Last weekend @ SSM May 1st 2011
This weekend we did a one-hit-wonder message on who Jesus really is. The entire weekend was themed around the look/feel of FACEBOOK and we played with the idea of “what if Jesus tried to add you as a friend on FACEBOOK? Would you accept his “friend request” or would you have to do some more digging?
Series: “like” Jesus
Pre-Service: We had a ton of fun during this...
