I think it’s safe to say that we’ve all experienced an unexpected “knock-knock-knock” at our door – an unexpected guest. An unexpected guest, by nature of the term, is a guest who you were not expecting. Everyone in the house pauses for a moment, maybe even whispers to one another asking, “are we expecting anyone?”; “Did you invite someone over?”; “Pizza!!!?” … Read More
Maturity and Passion – Dustin Box
In Revelation 4 we see a picture of heaven and the worship around the throne of God. There are some intense displays of creativity and passion.

Choices That Matter – Dustin Box
It’s 6:00 am, your alarm goes off, and your first thought is “another day of the same.” You get up, get yourself ready, perhaps you have kids you need to get ready and out the door to school.

You Will Be Like a Watered Garden – Caleb Klinge
When we first moved into our house here in Novato in 2003, we inherited at least 8 mature fruit trees. Our favorite trees are the two Golden Delicious apples trees in our front yard. Aside from annual pruning, we’ve never really done much to them. They’ve just been fruitful, year after year, producing lots of apples that are, well, delicious. … Read More
