OAN-Pastor Speaks Out Against Gavin Newsom’s Walgreens Business Deal
If we’re going to be light in our world, we have to know the difference between what is light and what is dark. Skyline Church continues to speak up against political issues with our local news stations, like OAN, because our world has drifted from the Word of God and needs to hear what the […] Read More
Monkeypox: Here We Go Again
Here We Go Again You’ve probably seen the news that the monkeypox virus is causing all kinds of problems across our country. However, the reality is that this virus is occurring mostly in men (98%) and in lesbian, gay, transgender communities in San Francisco and Los Angeles (95%). When this was pointed out to California […] Read More
Slow Grow
Slow Grow Is Better Than No Grow We’re in a teaching series at Skyline Church that focuses on nine characteristics that God wants to see in growing Christians. These nine characteristics in Galatians are known as the fruits of the spirit. Notice the metaphor “fruit.” The original audience of the Apostle Paul’s writing was an agricultural community. […] Read More
What To Focus On This Christmas
MERRY CHRISTMAS! At Skyline Church it has been such a joy to experience Christmas with you this December at our Christmas Tree Lighting events, in worship, daily devotionals, and during services on Sunday. We’ve been talking about the Christmas story and how it applies to us today. Many of you may be familiar with this story but […] Read More
Beat Anxiety, Depression and Omicron
How do you beat anxiety, depression, coronavirus variants (omicron…really? come on!) and the negative news we get every day from the lamestream media? The attitude of gratitude is a powerful pill against viruses of all kinds. Give Thanks Thanksgiving is more than a one-time holiday during the year. Biblically, we’re to give thanks consistently to […] Read More
School Options
I want to make sure you know, as a parent, that there are options for you as you consider taking your kids out of public school. A website I’ve mentioned at church is www.publicschoolexit.com. This website gives you the steps, resources, and other options whether you’re considering or already have taken your kids out of public […] Read More
4 Common Questions from Skyline Visitors
As a Pastor, I get A LOT of questions. And they are all good ones (well, most of them), so keep them coming. You can fill out a Connection Card, catch me in the lobby in-between services, or comment below and I’d be happy to answer that question you’ve been itching to ask! You may […] Read More
Inconsistency
Inconsistency is one of the most frustrating things about people and life in general. I was driving on the freeway the other day and I was behind a car in the fast lane (surprisingly it was not a Prius) that had no one in front of them and was going 75mph or so. This was […] Read More
Who Are The 144,000?
There’s a lot of confusion, symbolism, and even chronology in the book of Revelation. If you’ve been in church very long, you probably haven’t heard a message on this book of the Bible. It’s a difficult subject that if not approached systematically can lead to more confusion than understanding.Over the past couple months, I’ve been going through […] Read More
Pastor, OPEN YOUR CHURCH
I want to say with a loving heart … there are a lot of pastors right now that are not opening their churches due to COVID. I want to encourage you to open your church! Almost eight months is long enough to be closed. It’s the responsibility of shepherds to take care of the flock. […] Read More
Praying Politics
As Bible believing Christians, we believe in the importance of voting. We knooow politics-everyone-off. But the 2020 elections are quickly approaching, and as a pastor, my goal is to make sure you have the information you need to make the most informed decision you can. As Christians we can’t bury our heads in the sand […] Read More
Curious About Signs of The Times?
I’m not going to get dramatic and act as if the sky is falling … but with all that’s going on in the world, many Christians are curious if these are the “signs” the Bible talks about when it describes the End Times. According to Matthew 24:6-8, the increase in wars, natural disasters, increase in anger […] Read More
Growing in Faith
Faith is SO important that Hebrews tells us it’s impossible to please God without it. But be encouraged because faith takes time to develop and God wants us to grow in our faith. The Bible is clear that planning and preparing is wise, but there will come a time when you have planned all you can, prepared all you […] Read More
Church is ESSENTIAL
If you’ve been to any of the Skyline Church campuses, you’ve probably heard me recite our purpose statement, “Helping people find and follow Jesus seven days a week.” That’s because the pastors, staff, volunteers, and members believe that the idea of “faith” is more than a weekly check mark on our to-do lists. We believe that following Jesus isn’t just […] Read More
Misery is Optional
We need to realize that suffering is unavoidable. In fact, we need to be prepared to suffer. While it’s true that suffering is unavoidable, misery is optional. We don’t have to be miserable when we suffer, it’s all in how we choose to see things. Since the day you said that you’re a Christian, you were put […] Read More
6 Week Challenge
The best things in life come through a commitment. One of my main goals in life is to help people get into the Word of God more and more. I’m confident in the power of the Word and I know how it has changed my life and I want more people to experience it as […] Read More
It’s The End of the World as We Know It (and I feel fine)
The great theologians, REM, penned the line which I borrowed for today’s blog (you’re singing it in your head now aren’t you?). This weekend at Skyline Church we’re beginning a brand-new teaching series. We’re talking about a very relevant subject. Many people are wondering what the Bible says about the End of the World. Questions abound […] Read More
Interested or Committed?
What are you expecting God to do in your life? There’s a law that God has established … I call it “the law of expectation.” The fact is, we tend to get what we “expect” out of life. We often see what we expect to see, hear what we expect to hear, feel the way […] Read More
Close Down Again?
You’ve probably heard the news from the Governor of California. He has issued an order to close businesses and places of worship again. The County of San Diego has a right to not adhere to this order as San Diego has proven week after week to be one of the safest counties in the United […] Read More
Prescription for Change
Did you know that in a typical year about 2,000 self-help books come out on the market? Advertisers know that everybody is interested in change. The thing about self-help books and even many of the self-help podcasts out there, is that they tell you to stop doing this and start doing that, which is usually good […] Read More
