Thoughts from our Pastors and Guests

In the Bible when God called people, not everyone responded the same way. So let's look at three possible ways we can respond to God's call which will then lead us to our third bold prayer. For some, maybe you're like Jonah. Jonah said, "Here I am. I'm not going." Jonah 1:1-3 God called Jonah to go west to Nineveh and serve him, but Jonah ran east and then gets on a ship...

As I reflect back over 10 years I am thankful! Give thanks to the LORD for his steadfast love and faithfulness. I'm Thankful to the LORD for those of you who served on the launch team of 40 people to help get Pathway started. I'm Thankful to the LORD for the way God changed the owner of the York theatre, Shirley Johnson's mind to allow us to meet here in the York Theatre...

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at th...

Currently I'm preaching through a series called "Live the 10; God's design for true life." It has been a convicting series on the 10 commandments and we're only on week three. Anyhow, this past Sunday we looked at the second commandment which says "You shall not make for yourself and idol in the form of anything in the heaven above or the earth beneath or the waters below...

I'm fired up about God and howhe is answering prayers and isgrowing our churchdeeper in prayer through our recent series from the book of Acts (You can go to the sermons taband check them out)! And for those who wondered about the statement I madelast Sunday, which is also the title of this blog post, no I did not stealit from anyone (I know it's hard to believe, but I do...

I must confess I'm sad this week . . . the Olympics are over. For the last two weeks my family sat down, together with the rest of the world, and we watched the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. We watched the American women win the team gold in gymnastics. We watched the flying squirrel, Gabby Douglas, win gold in the women's all around gymnastics. We watched synchronized pl...

Since Pathway started almost seven years ago we have intentionally promoted church membership. Yet on different occassions I have encountered professing Christ-followers who have flat out said that church membership is not biblical. Well recently I came across an article that addresses this issue clearly, directly, and most importantly biblically. Read it and let me know ...

During our last series, "Reconciled" some of you submitted questions via email. Then on the last Sunday of the series, May 27, I answered those questions. (To listen to this or to see the transcript click here) In addition, during the sermon on May 27, I invited anyone who still had questions to text them in during the message and I would try to answer them. Since we ran ...
