Question: "How much time do you spend time worrying?"   Follow up question:  "How much time do you spend praying?"  Prayer shifts focus from our problems to God's power and promises, fostering spiritual growth and a sense of calm. In contrast, worry leads to anxiety and fear, offering no solutions or comfort.  I have spent a considerable amount of time thinking about last week’s sermon and its leading to a “Breakthrough” for our August Series. I don't want us to continue to live a life of worry.  As you might already know, we are planning for a powerful serie ..read more

​As we continue through our South Florida summer, I’m thanking God for the moderate temperatures in comparison to other parts of the country! Pray for all the people dealing with over 100 degree temperatures!   Over the years, we have seen firsthand the incredible impact that summer camp has had on our youth. From fostering friendships to deepening spiritual growth, camp has played a pivotal role in shaping the lives of our students. I think the reason this happens is because they get the opportunity to disconnect from the distraction of everyday life and they get to spend a more foc ..read more

Last week, Pastor Ricardo and I were in Panama City Beach for the Compassion Network meetings and planning for the coming year at Renew Church!  These meetings help us to get away to pray, plan and collaborate with pastors in our network to consider ways to reach our communities in powerful ways.  I love the collaboration as it allows us to do more together than we can do on our own.   This Sunday we are kicking off a brand new series called, “One and Done”.  Did you know that there are several books in the Bible with just one chapter?  This se ..read more

I’m intentionally keeping this email short to focus on my family today!  Emily is in town from serving in the internship she is at in Birmingham and we are so glad she’s home!  Be sure to say “Hi” to her if you see her on Sunday!

Finally, don’t miss this Sunday, I’m excited to be back to kick off a brand new series entitled, “Best Sermon Ever” based on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5 - 7.  I encoura ..read more

If my math is correct, the class of 2024 started High School in the Pandemic.  Talk about a crazy Freshman Orientation!  They have overcome so much and we are very proud of them!  This weekend at Renew we are celebrating our graduates as they close this chapter and open a new one in their life. We know how hard it is to get tickets for friends and family to attend a graduation in Miami so we wanted to provide an opportunity for our families to celebrate their grads with the whole family. We have a special portion of the service where we will be congratulating our ..read more

This Sunday is the final week of our “Elephant in the Church” series.  The topic I am covering this week is one that many of you have mentioned being affected by and had questions about… the topic of abortion.  I want to share my heart on this particular issue while being able to do it with love and grace.  As I shared in the first week of the series, I think the Scripture gives clear direction on the issues AND Jesus sets the example on “How we Speak” to the issues.  Sometimes, the delivery is as important as the message! On Sunday evening, we will come back ..read more
