Word Of The Year
Whenever it came time to make a tough decision in 2020, which happened often, we came back to one word. Our word of the year, at Skyline Church, was Model.

The Stirring
The Stirring comes at various hours and in various stages. Sometimes I wait for the stirring and it’s not there. I hope for the stirring and I’m let down. When The Stirring is not there it forces me to be patient, to wait for God’s timing, to rest in His sovereignty, knowing He’s in control, […] Read More
