So I know it’s not thanksgiving, but in this space between Christmas and New Year’s, I find myself incredibly thankful for what God is doing through Connexus Church.

Got some ‘Christmases’ coming up? You know what I mean – there’s only one Christmas, but most of us celebrate two or three times with family and friends. Our family had our first Christmas earlier this week, and it was a really great time. My favourite part? A few of us were able to make

So to wrap up Signs from Beyond at our campuses, we're doing something we haven't done before. I'm actually not going to prepare a full message. Instead, we're going to let you fire your personal questions/scenarios at me live Sunday morning during the message via text messaging. In fact, your questions (and the answers to

It’s Sunday. Almost 11 p.m. Time to clear the brain. Here’s what’s on my small mind today. So I fully realize that I am behaving like the parent of a new born who can’t stop talking about how great his kids are or showing off pictures, but I really am SO proud of you Connexus.
