Posted by:

This week, we turn a corner in the Paul’s letter to the Ephesians.  We move from a description of the church from God’s eyes, to an encouragement to grow up into that description.

It is common in our culture to hear the phrase “grow up” as a reprimand.  Typically someone was acting immature, and someone more mature uses the phrase as a corrective.  However, in our culture the person who reprimands the immature one takes little responsibility for the action of ...

AGCC’s Goal for 2012: Experience & Express Uncommon Grace

Posted by:

This year, the Leadership Council senses the Lord leading us to experience and express uncommon grace.  The common graces we all experience are typically in the form of good manners, an open door and a kind word.  Yet the gospel goes far beyond experiencing and expressing general friendliness.  The gospel is an ocean of grace that takes its shape from the proclamation of the resurrection of Jesus.

In fact, uncommon grace was the primary experience of the first church in history ...

Touching India: A Dream

We’ve spent the last two months focusing on Touching India, our ministry to the Dalits, the “untouchables” of India. So what is AGCC going to do next in India? Well, I have a dream. I’d like our little church to change the world. Let me tell you how.

It’s called a transformed community. Let me explain.

In 2007 my wife read an article in the New York Times about the plight of the Dalits. The figures were staggering. 250 ...

This Week in Worship: Deeper Witness (Eph. 3:1-13)

Posted by:

Our culture has a fascination with supermodels.  They grace the covers of many magazines and commercials.  They can sell us anything from makeup to website hosting.  Why?  Because they are attractive.  Well, the apostle Paul is a supermodel for the church.  The question is are we buying what he is selling?

In Eph. 3, Paul reveals to us a model of mature faith.  His concern is solely with being a true witness of the gospel, and he is willing to do ...
