Last week we looked at John 17:15-18 and saw that Jesus has SENT you and me on a mission. He “sent us into the world” as the Father “sent Him into the world.” YOU… have been sent. The question we asked is “are you willing to show up for the ... Continue ReadingPosted in Youth Blog | 3 Comments »
The Dad Life
Friday, August 6th, 2010
This video is hilarious! It’s a funny way of looking at the life of a dad. God has some stuff to say about our parents too though. In Ephesians 6:1, Paul the Apostle says this: “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and ... Continue ReadingPosted in Youth Blog | 6 Comments »

Breathtaking
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010
Joni and I just got back from spending time in New England (Cape Cod) for about 9 days. Cape Cod is in Massachusetts and its one of the most beautiful places we’d ever seen.

I got a kick out of this clip. Talk about going to bat for your friends! As some of our Teleios members are approaching graduation and contemplating college, jobs and what the “next step” might be for them… I thought it’d be a fun time to ask the question: “What’s ...

A People at War

The Quest
Thursday, April 1st, 2010
The clip above is from the 1975 movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I thought it was appropriate for this week’s blog for three reasons. 1) It’s hilarious. 2) These guys are on a quest just like we have been on a quest. 3) I have three questions, just ...
