This Saturday, from 6-8, Cross of Christ Fellowship, our church in Naperville, is hosting Cookies & Carols. We’ll be meeting at the Old Stone Church (14 S Washington St.), which is where we host Sunday morning worship services. It will be an evening of singing carols, considering the meaning of Christmas, and eating cookies. We’ll […]
(I write this reflection mostly for my own heart, but hope others can be encouraged by it too. I think it’s something we who are Christians need to remind ourselves often as we live out our faith in Christ while living in suburbia. Especially the nice suburbs [like Naperville, where I live!]). We all Live […]
I recently preached a sermon at our sending church, Redeemer Fellowship in St. Charles IL, on Luke 20:45-47 called “The Danger of Religious Hypocrisy.” You can listen to it here.
Phil 2:1-4 is found in a section (Phil 1:27-2:18) where we believers are used to “live worthy of the gospel” (Phil 1:27). Paul desires the Philippians to live out their faith, and this meant living differently from the world around them. It is interesting to note how Paul does this. I believe he shows here […]

Gospel Partnerships
In Phil 1:3-5 we see Paul thank God for the partnership he experienced with the Philippians in the gospel. The Philippians were dear to Paul, and they prayed for him (1:19) and gave generously to help him in the gospel work (4:10-20). We as a church plant have experienced a sweet partnership in the gospel […]
Lord, I praise you that you are our Father (1:2) and as our Father you known my deepest and most profound needs. I am thank you that though I was once estranged and alienated from you (Col 1:21), you brought me near through Jesus Christ and made me a child of God(John 1:12-13) . Now […]
