not a fan. becoming a completely committed follower. Starting on April 7, 2024 we will be going through a new 6-week sermon and adult connection group series called "not a fan." fan: an enthusiastic admirer. In the Gospels, Jesus never seemed too interested in fans. Is that how you define your relationship with Him? An "enthusiastic admirer"? Close enough to Jesus to get the benefits but not so close to require sacrifice? He was looking for followers. Not just any follower though, but a... COMPLETELY. COMMITTED. FOLLOWER. How would things change if you lived as Jesus lived, and loved the way ..read more

He's Alive The fact of the Jesus' resurrection from the dead is well established. While I recognize that not everyone accepts this fact, there is a significant amount of evidence to support the belief that Jesus rose from the dead. It is that truth, that fuels everything we do as individual Christ followers, and everything we do collectively as a church. This Sunday (3/31/2024) we will celebrate the anniversary of the Jesus' victory over death by enjoying a community breakfast, and then having a special time of worship. If you are reading this post, I hope you will join us as we enjoy each ..read more

“Then I thought, “Here is what gives me hope. For many years the Most High God showed how powerful he is. Lord, I will remember what you did. Yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will spend time thinking about everything you have done. I will consider all your mighty acts.” ~ Psalm 77:10-12 Today we are celebrating what God has done to make himself known in and through Real Life Church for the past 15 years. There have been hard times and good times over those years. In the darkest moments it was hard not to quit. In the brightest it was hard not to burn out from excitement. In ..read more

Changes are coming this weekend (9/10/2023) to our worship streaming service. We know that many of our faithful listeners have enjoyed the music on our live streams for some time, but the streaming platforms are becoming ever more watchful for use of copyrighted material. We have paid for the appropriate licenses to stream our content, but we still are getting our feed interrupted regularly by the platforms before the gospel is ever preached. Therefore, we have come to the difficult discission to mute our streaming of the music portion of our worship. We will stream the lyrics, but if you wa ..read more

“Forget the things that happened in the past. Do not keep on thinking about them. I am about to do something new. It is beginning to happen even now. Don’t you see it coming? I am going to make a way for you to go through the desert. I will make streams of water in the dry and empty land.” ~ Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIrV) I don’t know about you, but I tend to be pretty nostalgic. It’s easy for me to get caught up in my memories of the past to where I can miss what’s right in front of me. Worse yet, my memories aren’t always trustworthy. It seems that over time I tend to forget some of the unpleasant ..read more

“My brothers and sisters, you were chosen to be free. But don’t use your freedom as an excuse to live under the power of sin. Instead, serve one another in love. The whole law is fulfilled by obeying this one command. “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”” ~ ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭(NIRV)‬‬ Friends, I want you to know that Jesus absolutely sets us free when we accept Him as our savior. Free from guilt. Free from sin. Free from death. Free to live in His perfect love. As Americans we like those promises of freedom. Strangely we’ve voted in a lot of leaders who seem to want to take mor ..read more

“My dear friends, you have always obeyed God. You obeyed while I was with you. And you have obeyed even more while I am not with you. So, continue to work out your own salvation. Do it with fear and trembling. God is working in you. He wants your plans and your acts to fulfill His good purpose.” ~ Philippians 2:12-13 (NIRV) What do you believe your purpose is? Do you think your purpose is to be used by most of the other people you meet? Maybe you feel like your purpose is to be comic relief. Is it possible that you don’t think you have a purpose at all? There have been times I was convinced m ..read more
