Is It Breaking News?
Terror in Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and the atrocities these terrorist organizations inflict on innocent people is nothing but pure evil. Evil in its obvious form. Is it breaking news if Jesus told us to expect it? It’s no coincidence that Israel is at war. The devastating attacks by Hamas earlier this week have flooded […] Read More
Skyline Church Celebrates Victorious Settlement In Landmark Lawsuit
I’m so thankful for the court’s recognition of our constitutional rights and the protection of our right to practice our faith in Christ just as our Founding Fathers had intended when this country began. This settlement reaffirms that churches have the right to uphold their beliefs and not be compelled to violate the Word of […] Read More
Game Plan
Game Plan For Battle Do you have a game plan for spiritual growth? I guarantee your opponent has a game plan to defeat you, and it isn’t pretty. There was a big game on February 13, and it’s really no surprise that the best team won. I mean, I predicted this before the game that […] Read More
Mental Help
Cultivating a Healthy Mind Mental health is a very important topic that must be talked about in the church. I know it’s a touchy subject but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t talk about it. If the Bible talks about it, you can bet Skyline Church is going to talk about it! Right now, we’re in a teaching […] 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
Enough Is Enough
National Surveys show that only 20% of church attendees VOTE. Too many Christians just sit back and say, “whatever” when it comes to voting. THAT.MUST.STOP. As a Believer, it is of utmost importance that we obey the Bible and “show honor where honor is due.” Voting is one of the primary ways we can honor […] Read More
Avoiding Burn Out
No matter who you are or what city, state, or country you live in, you are allotted a maximum of 168 hours a week that comes in 24 hour segments called days and adds up to 7 days a week. Yet, if you’re like me, our to-do lists are never-ending and rest always appears just […] Read More
Kingdom-Minded
What does it mean to be Kindom-minded? Simply stated: We are all on the same team! The goal is to help people find and follow Jesus. And it’s going to take more workers to harvest the billions of people out there who have not experienced a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our Philosophy in helping staff […] Read More
Spring Training Fundamentals
Baseball is back! Opening Day is scheduled for April 1, and while I had my doubts with it falling on April Fool’s Day, I’m so excited for the Padres to finally kick-off the 2021 season! We came close last year, but THIS year … this is the year! Just like every other team, the Padres went through […] Read More
Next Step
One of my goals as a pastor is to help you take your NEXT step of faith. Everyone’s got a “next step.” Whether you’re new or have been in the faith for a long time, we believe it’s important to never feel like we have “arrived.” We don’t want to coast in our relationship with the Lord. […] Read More

Our Mission at Skyline Church is to be relentlessly dedicated to teaching the truth and relevance of Scripture. We do this seven days a week because we believe that following Jesus isn’t JUST something to do on Sunday. We do it every day. And we do it … all over the world. While Skyline Church has been sending people […] Read More
MODEL
What does it look like to have a model faith? I’m not talking about a perfect faith. The faith journey is never one of perfection, but it should be one of progress. I’m talking about a way to practically model faith. Can you envision it? My vision of a model faith is like a North Star. It doesn’t mean […] 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
ABC’s for Loyalty
What a week! I’m on the road just outside San Francisco at a gathering of pastors for Convoy of Hope. This incredible ministry serves our local community and the poorest of the poor all around the world. I’m out here to learn more about them and looking into how we can partner with them in the near […] Read More
Baptism
September 2, 1997 was a big day for me and my friend Dukes Knutsen. We were both Christians and Dukes was our local Fellowship of Christian Athletes leader in Duluth, Minnesota when I was playing Independent League baseball for the Duluth Superior Dukes of the Northern League. While we had both been Christians for years […] Read More
Leadership Burnout
Although the formatting will not translate to my website, I have copied and pasted my dissertation below. Would be glad to answer any questions you might have about the research. The project was mostly geared toward pastors but many leaders in general were studied and the results can be applied to leadership roles in many cases. […] Read More
Adam LaRoche Quit Baseball To Follow His Faith, But What He Won’t Say Is Heartbreaking
Great article from qpolitical.com Hollywood could not write a more compelling story than that of a Major League ballplayer becoming an undercover agent. Heck, with all the sequels, and reboots being made today it’s safe to say movie-makers lack the creativity to come up with a story like this. For those of you who don’t […] Read More
Chargers
The decision was made by the NFL owners to approve the Chargers move to… Inglewood. It was a NO vote on the move to Carson. The Inglewood vote is an opportunity for the Bolts to be in partnership with the Rams. The stadium there will be amazing..no doubt… Inglewood is a blighted area that is […] Read More
Is Worship Music Headed for a Crash?
I’m really thankful for our worship team. We have a great worship pastor in @trevordavismusic and we have a great humble band. This article is worth the read, although I don’t agree with all the writer says, it is worth the read.
