Just wanted to share this picture that I used in my sermon this last Sunday. Had a few folks ask about it so I wanted to go ahead and put it out here. It was painted by an artist named Charlie Mackesy from England. Charlie does some amazing stuff that you can check out on [...]

A Challenging Thought
Posted on 01. Oct, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
I’m starting out a study day and just have a challenging thought. So many times we share our stories of being what I understand as “Up and to the right.” This is the common movement of so many testimonies, the stories shared/heard in churches, and ones we might read/write about. It’s a movement of being [...]

First Day of Kindergarten
Posted on 10. Aug, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
Well we made it…Benjamin’s first day of Kindergarten. It was awesome to walk him in this morning and drop him off with Mrs. Kelly (my own first grade teacher…I know, crazy huh). Saw lots of Mom’s crying…including Leslie.

Stand By Me
Posted on 29. Jul, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
This song is a sign of the deepest cries of humanity. “Will somebody in this world just please stand by me in the middle of __________ .” (You fill in the blank.) Why does this song resonate with us so much? It’s what we long for…to not be alone. To be connected to something, someone. [...]

Posted on 28. Jul, 2009 by Josh Agerton.
Had a great week at Camp Cornerstone with about 220 kids and over 100 amazing volunteers (like VBS on steroids). It was a great week for these kids and our church…a real time of togetherness and serving the precious little ones.
As usual for Camp Cornerstone, our staff team was called on to be the humor [...]
