Not the way its supposed to be…
I read a great book on the concept of sin a ways back by Cornelius Plantinga called, Not the Way It’s Supposed to Be. Plantinga did a great job of talking about the Hebrew concept of “Shalom,” which we translate as “peace.” He argues that our word peace connotes the absence of conflict and doesn’t

Matsiko
The Matsiko Ugandan Kids Choir is joining Antioch this Sunday for a short performance at the beginning of the service. After singing for the main church service, the choir will perform for the older kids in the Antioch Kids Ministry as well as answer questions and interact. The choir was featured in the Bend Bulletin
Kids Ministry
I came across this statistic today from pollster George Barna. Barna writes that “only one out of every five senior pastors considers their church’s ministry to children to be one of its most important efforts.” Sounds pretty crazy, right? Anyway, one of the things I think the world can use a lot more of is
Psalm 42
This morning Dennis Keating preached on Psalm 42 at Antioch. It was hands down one of the best sermons I’ve ever heard on suffering, doubt and waiting on God. I thought I’d pass along the link to the webcast… just click here.

World Relief Talk
Last night we got to hear a presentation from KK Lee. KK is the technical director for HIV/Aids in Asia for World Relief. It’s been a while since I’ve listened to a good testimony and last night I was blown away. KK lived for 21 years in Malasia with an unrepaired cleft palate and couldn’t
