In today’s world, we have become experts at self-diagnosis. When I’ve got an ailment I can’t identify, my first response is to turn to Google and search for information. There’s a wealth of information out there (not all of which is accurate) but it helps me to educate myself on my condition in order to [...]
I am so excited about the most recent addition to the Faith Promise Marriage & Parenting Summit. We have added a session focusing on single parenting. I believe this session has great potential to minister to single parents as we explore biblical and practical parenting insight. Please help us spread the word about this session [...]
As a youth pastor, one of the most challenging things to do is to give advice to the teenagers that I work with. This is primarily because I hate to watch them ignore this advice and walk head on into trouble that they could have avoided by taking advice. I am sure that as a [...]
Preschool (2yrs-PreK) Once again this week, Jesus calms the storm and our preschoolers see that “With God, all things are possible!” This story is a little different from last week. Last week, Jesus walked on water and calmed the raging storm. This week, Jesus is in the same boat as the disciples. In Matthew 8:23-27, [...]
Last week I was dropping my daughter off for a birthday party. As I was leaving a man stopped me asking for direction. He was standing with one of my daughter’s school friends. Immediately recognizing her I put my hand out and introduced myself explaining that our daughters sit together at lunch often. His [...]
If you are a parent of young children your heart may have skipped a beat at the thought of your child being able to feed themselves. As parents, we are aware of the various stages of growing independence. For my wife Emily and I as parents of two teenagers this is a big deal. We [...]
This morning as I was reading through my plan for reading through the Bible this year, I read a portion of the story of Joseph. I love this story. Being one of three boys, I can easily relate to Joseph and the torcher that brothers give each other. I have always loved the point in [...]
Preschool (2yrs-PreK) This week we continue to make sure your preschooler knows that… Jesus Can Do ANTYTHING! We find out in Mark 6:45-51 that Jesus walked on water AND calmed the storm! In the midst of the craziness of life, we forget as parents that we are teaching our kids at all times. They are [...]
Well, we are now into the third week of 2012. This means that there is a 72% chance that you have already fallen behind your Bible reading goal for the year. Truthfully, I know I have! At least, I HAD, until I discovered at great way to accomplish my goal of reading the Bible while [...]
I remember the first time we visited Faith Promise. Mike and I really liked it…. loved the worship…. loved Pastor Chris’ message and dynamic presentation. Those were both great. But the biggest deciding factor for our family as to whether FPC was even a consideration was the kid’s ministry. We had four kids in children’s [...]
Preschool (2yrs-PreK) This weekend your preschooler will continue to learn that “Jesus Can Do ANTYTHING!” This week’s story is from Mark 6:30-44, the well-known story of the loaves and fish. A story you may have heard before, but do you understand the significance? Jesus fed 5,000 men plus women and children from 2 fish and [...]
Have you ever really thought about the power that you choices have? Our choices have tremendous power over our lives. I believe that our choices have the power to shape and mold our lives. I believe that the following principle is true for all our lives: “The choices we make today will determine our destination [...]
Middle School Tonight the middle school spent some time talking about the destination we are heading to. We don’t always do a great job of thinking about where we are heading. Tonight we challenged students with the truth that our choices today will determine our destination tomorrow. We want students to understand that the [...]
This post was written by Brandi Magee, fpKids interim Preschool Coordinator It’s just after breakfast, and my two young sons are playing together when they beginning fighting over a toy…hands start hitting and voices are raised… Be kind and loving to each other. Ephesians 4:32 My older son is lying awake in bed and calls [...]
Last week, Josh Whitehead introduced me to a You Version daily Devotional called Parenting by Design. I am really enjoying this devotional and strongly encourage you to check it out. The content is excellent. Each day’s devotional is a brief, easy to read, parenting tip/reminder. In addition there is a corresponding verse(s) that connects to [...]
Preschool (2 years to PreK) Our focus in January is on the Miracles of Jesus. Why? Because Jesus can do things we can’t! There are so many accounts in scripture of the amazing things Jesus did. And God used these as a way to demonstrate His love and power. Two things we want your preschooler [...]
Welcome to 2012! I can’t believe that another year has already started. As each New Year starts, we all begin to reflect on who we are and what we have accomplished in the past year. Many of us will make New Year’s resolutions, most of which will last us until the third week in January. [...]
As a mom, the well-being of my kids is always on my mind. And daily circumstances remind me of this priority. When my 6 year old wants to play with the older kids in the cul-de-sac. When my 9 year old wants to sleep at a friend’s house. When my 12 year old wants the [...]
Happy New Year! As you begin this brand new year, I want to challenge you with one simple question. One, tiny, miniscule, itty-bitty question…that can change the way you experience 2012. Are you ready? Here it is: What is your destination? If you go on a road trip, you have an end in mind. If [...]
Define Reality. That’s the first step in making changes to improve your family in 2012. Take inventory of how your family is doing spiritually, relationally, emotionally, financially, physically, etc. Change requires change. Most families would say that they want/need to make some changes/improvements. Where the rubber meets the road is after determining what changes we [...]
I believe one of the greatest dangers to our marriages is when we begin to treat them as ordinary. Recently I had lunch with a guy from Florida. During conversation I shared that I was craving an orange. He indicated that they had a tree that produced a type of small orange right in their [...]
