Message Support: "I Want to Believe, But..."
In this four week series, we'll look at some of the barriers that keep people from believing in God. It’s often difficult to believe in a God we cannot see. We wonder why God didn’t answer our prayers, why God allows suffering, or why we can’t feel His presence. God may not meet all your expec...

Leading New Believers Through Tithing
At Life.Church, we like to say we will do anything short of sin to reach people for Christ. That might include things like using movies or popular TV commercials in church to illustrate truths from the Bible. As a result of being really focused about reaching the lost, we often have a lot o...

The Other Side
Romans 8:28 offers the amazing promise of God bringing good out of all situations for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. I’ve watched God bring good on the other side of many difficult times. Today, I’ll talk about the other side of financial trials . One mon...
Leadership
Letting Go of Control
To move forward, you often have to let go of something significant. Too often, what we hold tightly keeps us from following God’s promptings toward something new. Many leaders try to control too much. Our perceived need to control is one of the greatest limiting factors to what God wants to...

Leading Into the Future
When I want to lead into the future, I usually look into the past to see what I can learn from any patterns. Sensing it was time to make some changes in our church culture, I prayerfully reflected over the different seasons of our church.I noticed a distinct pattern that repeated itself at least s...

Good Social Media or a Prideful Heart?
We know God opposes the proud. But some forms of social media seem to have redefined what pride is and what it’s not. For example: Imagine if I stood before our church and repeated things I had heard others say: “Joe Smith said, ‘Pastor Craig, you are the best preacher ever! Your sermons cha...
Leadership
New Seasons Means New People
When a ministry enters a new season, we must open the door for new leaders. The “old guard” often resents new seasons. I’m a big believer in working hard to lead the tenured believers toward new life. Sometimes, though, they refuse to move forward. In those times, we have to help people...

Be Good at Something Different
In ministry, most churches and leaders try to be good at what everyone else is good at doing. We’re all trying to improve our preaching, youth groups, kids’ curriculum, worship, environments, and countless other areas. The problem is that we’re not all blessed with the same gifts, and we're...
Leadership
Breaking Up the Systems
Even a good ministry system will eventually limit what God wants to do if the system doesn’t evolve or totally change. (By system, I mean any program, structure, philosophy, or culture that shapes and helps produce a desired outcome.) Once people operate within a system long enough, they o...

Campus Building Plans: Budgeting
If you’re like us at Life.Church, you want to be good stewards of the money you’ve been entrusted with. When it comes to budgeting for a new building, there will always be unanswerable questions—every situation is unique, and every set of resources and limitations affects the decisions...

Church Online: Reaching Past Physical Limitations
What we've learned: As Earth's population grows by leaps and bounds, God has equipped the modern church with tools that never before existed. It's our duty to do what no one else is doing in order to reach the people no one else is reaching. That's why we're so passionate about leveraging...

Creative Media: Celebrating 20 Years
The Life.Church brand update coincided with our 20 year anniversary in 2016, and we had a blast celebrating everything God has done. Perhaps the most poignant thing about our rebranding process was realizing how the brand isn’t just art elements that we create. The brand actually embodies the Life...
