Be careful who you listen to.

At the end of the age, everything resolves. Until then we live in a fallen world that will never resolve. In that world, God gives us the Holy Spirit so that we can endure.

Looking forward to a great Lord’s Day.

This Lord’s Day we learn from Romans 8 how to live the Spirit-filled life in power, then we celebrate tonight what God has done through us with a dinner thanking everyone who has contributed financially to our mission.

Gonna be a good day!

This Lord’s Day we celebrate new babies, spemd time praying for each other (with our kids leading the way!), experience an extended time of praise and worship, and hear updates on what God is doing through us—all in a single service that brings the whole family together!

Iftar dinner in DC last night with some precious Turkish friends of more than a decade.

This Lord’s Day we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, welcome more new folks into our membership process, and learn from Romans 7 why we struggle with sin, and what Jesus has already done to give us victory over it.
March 23, 2025 at 11:41 AM
This Lord’s Day we baptize more new believers, learn from Romans how to get victory over sinful habits, and spend the afternoon training more than 30 deacons and others in response counseling for people in need.

A great big awesome day is ahead!

This Lord’s Day we learn that the Gospel frees us from past sin, and gives us a future hope that is better than we ever dreamed!

Lots of hope in today’s passage from Romans 6!

To my fellow pickup drivers, today is one of those days. 🙂

This Lord’s Day we gather for the Lord’s Supper. Then we celebrate what that Supper means—a “second Adam” named Jesus who reverses all in the world that our sin has broken.

Catching up with our Jewish and Muslim friends in Tysons Corner today!

Some awesome stuff is being planned for this fall. Stay tuned! @hurunnessa @micahsingsalot

This Lord’s Day we learn how to live like people reconciled with God. Then we baptize more new believers and welcome a room full of folks into our membership process.
Then I get to finish off the evening with my men’s group.
Im excited to watch God at work today!

There’s a way to be reconciled with God. There’s a way to have your sins forgiven. There’s a way to become everything God created you to be! This Lord’s Day we share that way—the best news in the world!

Escaping to warmer weather for a bit. See y’all in about five days!

So great to see my friend Ali today. Dropped in on us at Covenant during his visit to the US. Only wish I’d had the schedule for Pakistani food for lunch.

Great to see you my friend!

Its the Lord’s Day! Today we gather to worship, and continue our exploration of Romans. We will be reminded that nothing we can say or do will reconcile us with God except Jesus’ own perfect obedience on our behalf.
Gonna be a great day!

Today would have been his 80th birthday. It's his first in the presence of Jesus. Love you Dad. Miss you.
January 30, 2025 at 3:30 PM
Well, I guess Im not getting away with anything today. 😃

Love this crew and how they serve our town. Great to catch up this morning guys.

Teaching Kingdom DNA overview tonight at a new church plant in Brunswick Maryland. Excited to see these folks run!

This Lord’s Day we share the Lord’s Supper together, and learn from Romans both how desperately we all need Jesus’ death on the cross, and how willingly He provided it.

When on the day you turn a year older they put you in a chair, aim a camera at you, and turn on bright lights that reveal extra wrinkles you didn’t have the year before. 😳🤣

But our production team is used to making me look better than I actually do. 😃
January 21, 2025 at 3:01 PM
Its the Lord’s Day, and I’m thankful He’s delayed the elements to allow us to worship together for at least one service.

Hope to see you at 9 AM!
