The images in Isaiah 54 are striking. “Enlarge the place of your tent,” God says to his people. “Let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back, lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes.”
For a nomadic people, it was an exhortation to prepare for the growth and expansion that would accompany God’s favor and blessing.
Have you noticed? Just such a season of growth and expansion is occurring at Ingleside. Our tent is enlarging. We are...

There may well be no better time to introduce a friend to Ingleside than at Christmas. So, I hope you will ask the Lord about whom you should invite. Then, make the call, or send the text or email. Your personal invitation could make all the difference.

Friday, December 11, 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, December 12, 4:00 p.m. and...

On October 3, 1789, at the request of Congress, the first president of the United States issued a proclamation which reads in part:
Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and...

It’s no wonder then that life in Christ is often described in the remainder of the New Testament as a “walk.” The Apostle Paul would write: “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him”...

This past Sunday, I began a new, five-part series of Sunday morning messages at Ingleside entitled, Witness: Adventures in Acts.
As we began, we noted that Acts 1:8 provides the overall outline and primary theme of the entire book. It’s really a verse that every Christ-follower should have memorized. Do you remember what it says?
After forty days of post-resurrection appearances and before he ascended to the Father, Jesus said this to his disciples:
“But you will receive...

Choosing the team may well be a leader’s most important single responsibility. Only when the right players are in the right positions does any team maximize their opportunity for success.
In a 2001 business bestseller, Good to Great, Jim Collins put it this way. Good-to-great leaders “first got the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats” (p. 13). Everything else was secondary.
