God is UNCHANGING & CHANGING

This weekend I’m finishing our ONE PRAYER SERIES with a talk entitled:
God is UNCHANGING & CHANGING

No doubt this can seem confusing, but I promise it has been ROCKING MY BRAIN over the last few weeks!
In the first movement of the talk, I’m taking on the concept of the IMMUTABILITY OF GOD. It’s an enduring Christian doctrine that has been with us from the beginning and has great presence throughout the Bible, as we’ll see this weekend. In recent years there have been 2 challenges to this doctrine: process theology and open theism.

I know, I know… you may have hit snooze when I whipped out the word ‘process.’
But, in order to help you better understand what I’m talking about this weekend, click here for a great link to an online book by John Piper regarding this doctrine.

My BIG BRO’s church…

My older brother, Eric Thomas, is pastor at the First Baptist Church, Norfolk, VA. Check out how they touched the lives of single moms…

Is that unbelievable, or what?

The Keystone Family is growing…

I’m PUMPED to introduce two new team members to the Keystone staff: John Bain & Geoffrey Noblitt!

I have personally seen God call John to the local church. He has an incredible family and comes to us from various executive roles in corporate America. As he joins my ministry team he brings special gifts that will help us move forward into the audacious vision God is giving us.

Geoffrey has moved to Keystone Church from California. Recently engaged & graduated from college (written in the order of importance), he brings a lifetime of ministry experience and a passion for Keystone Church. As he joins our staff, he will help us expand our ability to reach the student generation.

Remember Ephesians 4:11,12 -
Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.
