Stealing Content: Questions Unchurched Don’t Ask
Wednesday, March 31, 2010 @ 6:19 pm by Josh Burcham
Content from Perry Noble’s blog over at www.perrynoble.com. The guy oozes leadership principles. His post, Ten Questions That Unchurched People ARE NOT Asking! is worth the time to read.
#1 – “What do you do to disciple people?” (This question is usually asked by people who want to ‘microwave” spiritually, not understand that they themselves actually became mature in the “crock pot.”)
#2 – “Who is speaking this weekend?” (They usually don’t care about the WHO…it’s the WHAT that matters to them.)
#3 – “Are you reformed in your theology?” (Most of them have no idea what in the heck this means!)
#5 – “What version of the Bible do you use?” (Many unchurched people don’t even really know there are different versions!)
#6 – “What denomination are you affiliated with?”
#7 – “How many different activities can I sign my family up for in order to add to the insane schedule that we already have?”
Read all ten questions here.

In Case You Forgot
Thursday, March 25, 2010 @ 9:03 am by Josh Burcham
In case your forgot what changed your life, what brings you hope and what gave you purpose…
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them–yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

I’m Looking Forward to Reading
Tuesday, March 23, 2010 @ 1:01 pm by Josh Burcham
Just think I made it all the way through high school and most of college without ever having to read a full book (I think that probably has more today with the fact I’m not an institutional learner) and yet I’m looking forward to a couple new books coming our way.
View more from the reading list here.

Ridgepoint’s Info Meeting
Wednesday, March 17, 2010 @ 6:54 pm by Josh Burcham
Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith? Are you looking for a church that is focused on making a difference in their community by helping people meet Jesus?
You may have called yourself a Christian for a long time, but despite your religious activity you’re still trying to figure out who you are, the role God plays in your life, and what your life is supposed to be about. You may not call yourself a “Christian” but you have tasted moments where you have longed for your life to have a deeper meaning. You may look at our community and wonder who will step up to make a difference and begin to bring transformational heart change.
Informational Meeting, March 28th at 5:00pm
Location: 9460 W. Potter Dr., Peoria, AZ
The bottom line is that Ridgepoint Church may be the church for you – more importantly you may be what Ridgepoint Church needs – because we need people with the heart for people to meet Jesus.

You Can’t Afford Not to be Blessed!
Sunday, March 7, 2010 @ 2:02 pm by Josh Burcham
“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’ “Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. “But you ask, ‘How do we rob you?’ “In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—the whole nation of you—because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit,” says the Lord Almighty. Malachi 3:6-11
Churches you can’t afford to not be blessed by the Lord. Your church needs to be a giving force. Preach heart change!
Those that call themselves Christ-followers. You can’t afford to not be blessed by the almighty and not be giving back 10%.
Money is never our focus, BUT giving gauges the heart!
