It's Just a Little Bit...

Did you know that I have my own Food Network Show?  Ha, just kidding.  Actually, I really wish i did =).  Well, in that spirit, I made this video last week as an example for one of my messages at the FTS Retreat.  The example was to support the idea:  Even just a little bit of something that does not belong is WRONG.  This most clearly relates to how even a little bit of sin, which does not belong, damages and harms us. I hope you learn from this funny example and yet important spiritual lesson!

Dish-gracepoint - Food at Gracepoint Fellowship Church

One of the many skills and talents that you MUST acquire is learning to cook for more than just yourself.  It's an important skill to learn so that you can learn to love and care for others.  So many people learn to cook for at least their roommates and a few new students.  And that's wonderful but at times you NEED to cook for at least 30!  Ellen's great at doing this and no less talented is my dear brother in Christ, Tom Kim.  In fact, he's so passionate about cooking for 30 and making it cheap that he created this website:

You can find recipes along with special deals of the week.  I hope to eat from one of your apartments one day soon!

Back from the FTS Retreat

I'm back!  and what a roller coaster ride it has been!  First off, I just wanted to thank you for your prayers and I wanted to thank and praise God for the 3 salvation decisions!  3 of the FTS kids made very clear and sincere decisions; what a sweet sight to see.  Giving 6 messages over the 4 days was quite challenging but I got to really experience the church as people were helping in all sorts of ways - from helping me with examples and giving me feedback about my messages, helping me with props, and even giving me tech support (as my hard drive crashed during the retreat) and to all the prayers I received.  I was so thankful for all the support.  I'll tell you more about the retreat this Friday during our homegroup time. See you!
