  • While We Were Waiting

    When they gathered together because of Jesus and devoted themselves to prayer, their eyes were no longer fixed on their differences. They didn’t feel they had the luxury of time in which to debate theological points. They knew Jesus had spoken, had told them that they would be witnesses to him, had commanded them to wait for the promise from the Father. So they did. 


    Uncommon, radical unity was not formed for some idealistic principle, or some pragmatic need. Uncommon, radical unity was formed around devotion to Jesus, expectation of the promise, and waiting in prayer. So must it be found in our day.

  • Built on a Promise | Acts 1:1-11

    Renewal doesn't mean stepping back in time or trying to recreate the "good ol' days." Renewal is the discovery and radical recovery of first things. The book of Acts is the story of the "first things" of the church. Today we begin a journey of discovering those first things. Oddly enough, this journey doesn't begin by taking steps. It begins by waiting.

  • And the Church Said, "Amen."

    Today on the podcast, I want to share with you a story from our time in the Netherlands that I will remember till the day I die. It is a powerful lesson for me on prayer and how God is at work where God's people say, "amen."
