The Mega-Gospel…

March 30, 2010 / mikelumpkin / 1 Comment

The gospel cannot be an bigger than it is anymore than God can be "bigger" than He is (being infinite, He's not bound by space or time so any spatial descriptions fall short).  However, He can be magnified better by His people...without a doubt!  As well, the gospel can be magnified on a grander scale … Continue reading The Mega-Gospel…

Nine Characteristics of Prayer…

March 25, 2010 / mikelumpkin / Leave a comment

Nine Characteristics of Biblical Prayer by Daryl Wingerd True prayer is not merely a matter of saying the right words. Biblical prayer is characterized and motivated by the right attitude-right thinking about the greatness of God, the beauty of Christ, and our own unworthiness and weakness. Ask yourself if your prayers are characterized by: An … Continue reading Nine Characteristics of Prayer…

I don't know Zac, but I watched this video at lunch today with my kids.  It's worth your time...

Delighting in God’s Wrath?

March 24, 2010 / mikelumpkin / Leave a comment

There are some "wild-eyed" preachers who seem to be very glad to preach about God's wrath, as if God's some crazed, happy deity zapping sinners left and right.  In fact, you almost sense a jealousy that their pastoral x-men power is NOT shooting lightning bolts to zap sinners themselves. I'm studying Leviticus 20, which speaks … Continue reading Delighting in God’s Wrath?

Responding to Worship with…A SNOWBALL FIGHT!

March 22, 2010 / mikelumpkin / Leave a comment

Yesterday was a bit out of the ordinary at UBC.  With about 7-8 inches of snow on the ground we went ahead with our main worship gathering.  Thankfully, all were safe coming and going.  I'm particularly grateful for the warmth we all felt during our time of worship and fellowship.  As many were making sure … Continue reading Responding to Worship with…A SNOWBALL FIGHT!

Holiness on the Whole

March 18, 2010 / mikelumpkin / Leave a comment

Holiness ceases to be holiness the instant it becomes partial. Holiness, by nature, impacts the whole.  God is holy entirely.  Combine this with the fact that our culture...our Christian culture, is full of compartmentalized views of life and holiness.  Consider the "fruit of the Spirit" in Galatians 5:22-23 is singular, not plural, indicating that it … Continue reading Holiness on the Whole

Sex and the Law follow-up

March 14, 2010 / mikelumpkin / Leave a comment

A couple of things I wanted to follow-up with from this morning's message. 1) No one has said anything, but I did want to clarify that at one point in the message I was NOT likening homosexuality with racism.  In fact, I'm on record as saying they are not the same and laws do not … Continue reading Sex and the Law follow-up

Un-marketing the Church

March 13, 2010 / mikelumpkin / Leave a comment

Okay, here's what you do... 1) Make sure that it's Daylight Savings weekend (spring forward @ 2AM on March 14th) -- that's right, boys and girls, lose an hour's sleep tonight! 2) Begin new security protocols for the nursery and toddlers (pastor doesn't even get cut slack) 3) Then...make sure you preach out of Leviticus … Continue reading Un-marketing the Church

On Birthdays…

March 10, 2010 / mikelumpkin / Leave a comment

Today I fully embrace my 40's at the age of 41.  I'm the kind of person who reflects and examines pretty often.  Too often that produces (nearly) debilitating regret of time lost and wasted whether due to intentional or unintentional sin or lack of doing more radical living for Christ.  God's been doing a work … Continue reading On Birthdays…
