Biggie Size Me

On April 17, 2012 By

A portion of an internal conversation I had a few days ago:

“I’ve worked hard this weekend, I should stop for a treat.  Ice Cream?  Good Idea Tyler.  Ooooh, McDonalds has a snack size blizzard now.  Wait, I could DQ something different.  Aha, Wendy’s!  I love her classic Chocolate Frosty.  I will [...]

Play The Jesus Lottery

On March 30, 2012 By

I guess the Mega Millions lottery is at a record $640 Million.

Earlier this week I sat near the entryway of a coffee shop that is attached to, and shares doors with, a convenience store.  Classy, I know.  As I watched people enter and leave there were two popular items people walked out with in [...]

Dear Table Church Family,

 

As some of you know last week we announced that this was my family’s last week at The Table.  Jes and I have been called to begin pouring ourselves into the mission and ministry of the Salvation Army.  This will occur first locally, but with the expectation to be called [...]

With Strings Attached

On October 27, 2011 By

I have always been told to never give gifts with strings attached.  I suppose it’s a protection thing.  Maybe so we don’t have expectations of how the person will respond to the gift.  Will they use it?  Will they put it in the closet and forget about it?  Will they drop it off at Goodwill?  [...]

Have you ever been around somebody that is truly gifted?  Not someone who is kinda good at something, but truly gifted.  Maybe a musician that makes playing any song, no matter how difficult, seem effortless. Maybe an athlete that can perform at the next level?  Maybe a scholar with a mind that makes the most [...]

The word stirs up many pictures in our mind.  For many of us we used to see Church as a place. Somewhere we would go to worship, fellowship, and learn about God.  The truth is far more dynamic than that. For those of us who strive to live the Missional and Incarnational life [...]

Summer Update

On July 11, 2011 By

This Summer has been intese for those of us leading The Table.  We have had military training, friends pass away, car trouble, house buying, and businesses starting.  These things have stolen much of our time and energy.  The cool thing is that even through all these things that our leaders are battling through, the community has not [...]

I make it a point to try to never call what we do on Sunday mornings “church”.  It is not church it’s a “Gathering” of the church.  Church is people; namely followers Jesus.  So, I want to make sure our people understand church isn’t what you do on Sunday mornings.  That is worship.  Therefore, church [...]

When I think of child dedication in the church my mind goes to the image of Abraham tying down his most beloved Isaac as he prepared to sacrifice him to the Lord.  It is a picture of a parent willing to obediently hand over a perfect gift that God has given them out of love for God. [...]

The Easter story.  If I bet nine times out of ten, I’d bet that you have heard it.  It is probably the best known story in history.  There are four Gospels that share the story with us in the Bible, but for those who might not know what I am talking about I’ll summarize.
