I continue to read “Killing Cockroaches”, by Tony Morgan.  It is a good/practical leadership book.  In his book he lists “10 easy ways to keep me from visiting your church because I visited your web site.”  This is hard to write, because I am hoping that North Point is not guilty of any of these [...]

In his book, “Killing Cockroaches”, Tony Morgan lists 10 easy ways to make church services more boring.

For some, they find the “Emergent Church” to be refreshing and life giving.  A fellowship of like minded believers that are on a journey together.  Others are very quick to criticize the “Emergent Church”.  I am no expert on this movement and I am not vouching for everything they believe in or don’t believe in, but [...]

To accommodate growth at NPC, beginning Easter weekend, we are adding a Saturday service at 5:30 pm.  This is new, this is fresh, this is needed, and more importantly, we can’t handle the growth God is giving us unless we do something.  Saturday service is the answer.  I need your help with 3 things.
1. Saturday Service [...]

Today, I would like to talk about another “IDK” question that was given to us that we will probably not have time to deal with during church.  In case you have missed it, we are in a series called “IDK” (I don’t know).  People are texting in their faith questions and we are doing our [...]
