Clear Word Conference 

​A unique conference in that there are no sessions over 20 minutes long. Timed sessions keep each presentation focused and relevant to address this “YouTube” generation. Interactive discussion sessions follow the  speakers allowing time to answer texted questions. The goal is to always “make it clear!” Click HERE for more.

​Part of my weekly discipline is writing a devotional blog which can be accessed HERE. The devotionals are printed in the weekly LifeChurch bulletin, distributed digitally through an email subscription, and posted on the Pastor's blog.

Writing and preparing material to teach is an important part of any minister's life. We cannot teach what we do not know or have not studied. Earlier in ministry I used more prepared curriculum as resources for teaching and preaching. As I gained experience and broadened my base of understanding in Scripture I began developing some of my own study series. We are all a product of what we have read, studied, and experienced. The influences of many ministries shape our lives, our understanding, and our worldview. Though I've created several study series I know that they are a product of the ministry of a multitude of influences in my life. There's really nothing I can teach that is original when I consider the wisdom of the writer,
"That which has been is what will be,
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun."
-Ecclesiastes 1:9
Various Bible series are taught at LifeChurch in our BibleLife classes and midweek worship sessions. Currently we are studying "Explaining Truth" in our midweek sessions. It is important to establish core Scriptural teaching and communicate them to the next generation. When truth is questioned we must, "always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you" (1 Peter 3:14-15),
In this series our purpose is to:
  • Establish the foundation of the Word of God as truth.
  • Define core doctrines of our faith in Jesus Christ.
  • Understand the character of God and His oneness.
  • Introduce apologetics — the defense of truth in an unbelieving culture.
The Psalmist said, “The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever” (Psalm 119:160). We have our work cut out for us. If we spend our lives studying, teaching and preaching His word we will never exhaust the topic. There will always be frontiers to explore, vast treasure to be discovered, and nuggets of insight to be mined from the depths of His Word. There is no end to this adventure of exploration, no limit to the panoramic vistas of inspiration. ​Take a journey in His Truth. It's the only thing that is truly lasting.
