I am in the sprint of my life!  Our move to the Woodinville Movie Theaters is no doubt a risky one, but I’m convinced that unless we take risks, we don’t ever get to where we really want to go. 
Risk is a strange thing.  Very few of us actually risk anything.  It’s only until we are [...]

We had a great vision night! Our Vision Night for our new church in Woodinville at the movie theaters had one purpose: to give people a vision for contributing to what God is doing here at Emmaus! How can YOU contribute?

PRAY- Pray that we will make an impact in our city.
SERVE- There’s a place for [...]

Wanna know what’s about to happen at Emmaus as we move to the theaters?  We are inviting everyone we know– new and regular attenders, friends anyone who knows anything about Emmaus, and anyone who wants to find out more what is about to happen to an Emmaus Vision Night at the Lyons’ Den Coffee Shop [...]

For those of you who don’t know our story, Emmaus began with no money, no people, no core group, and no common sense.  However, by God’s grace, Emmaus has been growing into a community of people who love God, love others, and want to serve the world.  We went from a living room to the [...]

It happens every year.  I have plans to do Christmas differently…spend less time shopping and spend less money, spend more time with the family and slow down and enjoy the true meaning of Christmas.  What a crock.  That hasn’t and probably won’t happen.  It’s business as usual.  It seems like I have more jeer than [...]

Play-Study-Serve-Study.  That’s our monthly community group philosophy at Emmaus.  Every week we follow that cycle.  It’s about making the kingdom of God, well, tangible!  We had a group from Emmaus go to our local food bank and serve, befriend, and encourage people as they came in and picked their food.  It was a cold Seattle [...]

Good movies and books leave an imprint on you.  It might leave an imprint on your soul, your mind, and in some cases, both!  A couple of books I’m reading right now are doing both!
The Tangible Kingdom by Hugh Halter
So many people talk about the church, but they talk so little about the kingdom!  It’s [...]

Church Planting is about as gut wrenching as an endeavour as I’ve experienced. Someone said to me recently, “It must be heaven and hell all wrapped up in one.” I have to admit that my friend’s comment isn’t far from the truth. So, what part is heaven, and what part is hell?
I always like to [...]

I will admit I don’t have much in common with Moses.  He was a man I’ll never be.  But, what’s amazing to me is how “normal” he was.  In fact, he is so relatable, I can’t stop reading about him!  His life was characterized by struggle–to be the man God called him to be! 
At Emmaus we’ve been going [...]

As our church’s Daniel fast ended yesterday, I was totally blown away by how much people learned from their time of fasting!  As people were sharing their fasting stories, my spirit jumped at their expression of God’s movement in their lives!  God is always doing something in our lives, it just that we don’t respond [...]
