Now that summer rhythms are giving way to school schedules, make sure that Sunday worship is in your weekly routine. Scripture is clear: God is honored, and we benefit when we gather with other believers to worship (cf. Hebrews 10:24-25). This Sunday, August 14, we will have three worship services: 9:40 blended, 11:00 blended, and 11:00 contemporary. Then, on Sunday, August 21, our traditional service in the chapel at 8:30 will be added back to the schedule. I’m looking forward...
According to the Farmer's Almanac, the summer season will officially end on Thursday, September 22. However, if your yearly schedule is driven at all by the educational calendar, you know the book is closing on the summer for many.

In Monday’s A Chapter A Day (II Corinthians 5), we were reminded of a few central truths about our role in kingdom building. Namely that: .. Christ reconciled us to himself and declared that one of our ministries is that of “reconciliation.” (v. 19) We are ambassadors for the gospel to a lost world. (v. 20) God often makes his appeal of the gospel to the lost world through us. (v. 20) Of course, you can be a minister of reconciliation to Christ at home, in your...
I’m not sure if you follow tennis, but the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, Wimbledon, was just completed. Novak Djokovic and Elena Rybakina won the men’s and women’s finals, respectively. You might be amazed that over the course of the event more than 237,000 people attend, 23,630 pizzas are served, over 50,000 plants are on display, and players have to follow a “predominately in white rule” in regard to their clothing and accessories. How about the...
Did you know that across the next week there will be a host of Inglesiders traveling throughout the country? All told, this month 106 people from our church are sharing the gospel, encouraging church plants, interacting with people from other faiths, ministering to refugees, and growing in the word at camp.

In his ground-breaking book, The Purpose Driven Church (1995), Rick Warren recounts a study he made of the 100 largest churches in the United States. He writes: “Although I discovered that large, growing churches differ widely in strategy, structure, and style, there were some common denominators. My study confirmed what I already knew . . . : Healthy, large churches are led by pastors who have been there a long time. I found dozens of examples. A long pastorate does not...
This Sunday, July 3, we will have one worship service only at 10:30 a.m. in the Worship Center at Ingleside. We will celebrate the freedom that we have in Christ and the freedoms that we enjoy as Americans. In 1 Peter 2:17, the Bible says, “Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor” (ESV). That’s just what we plan to do this Sunday as we celebrate our liberties, honor America, encourage one another, and worship God. I hope you will join us! July Sunday Schedule...
