“Let’s go home!”

Last updated on: May 5, 2024 at 9:31 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

What do you think when you hear the phrase “Let’s go!” as compared to “Let’s go home!”? There are times when I like to just pull out of the driveway without a plan. This type of spontaneity can be frowned upon by others, especially my passenger/s. There’s a world of difference when driving, or going along for the ride, between hearing someone say “Let’s go!” as opposed to “Let’s go home!” Over the years, I have usually been the one...

This month, there is a growing sense of expectation as people are praying every day for our congregation. We’re calling on God to instill dreams and hope in us, and rekindle vision, as we reach our city. Approach First Sunday, 02.26.17 we started MtZ March Prayer Month. We offered the invitation. One of our Elders remained at the altars with a clipboard and a March calendar. We called our congregation to action. We asked them to pray for one day... Read more

Jar of Happiness: Ingle Reflections on an Amazing Year

Last updated on: March 4, 2014 at 3:31 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

1 Comment

Last year, Crystal started something new. Perhaps it will grow into a family tradition. She simply calls it, the “Jar of Happiness,” a jar with slips of colored paper beside it. Don’t let the simplicity fool you, because the slips of paper are opportunities for any member of the family to write out little things they’re thankful for. The jar becomes the happy collection of these incredible notes throughout the year. At the close of 2013, we sat around the table and... Read more

As January draws to a close, many are still looking forward to the new year. The resolutions of others have already been tried by fire. Some are participating in Church-wide fasts. I want to take a moment, step out of the usual format, and reflect on 2012. After some conversations with the family, we came up with a top 10 list for 2012. These are the great events, local hot spots, and traditions we enjoyed. Perhaps these snippets will spark... Read more

Christians and Government: Romans 13 for July 4th

Last updated on: July 4, 2012 at 8:45 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

How should Christians view government? Where do Church and state intersect? When I think of July 4th, Independence Day, freedom, and all that America is, I am drawn to Scripture. One of my favorite teachings is found in Romans 13.1-7. I personally like this reading in the New American Standard. Here is a quick look at the passage and the language that makes it so rich. Romans 13.1: Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there... Read more

The Aftermath: Remembering Joplin After The Storm

On this day last year, Crystal and I drove into Joplin, Missouri. The whole nation had seen glimpses of the devastation caused by the tornado that was six miles long and a mile wide. The twister destroyed one third of the town, razing it to the ground right through the heart of the city. St. John’s Hospital made headline news because the facility was badly damaged.

The Garden

One day, in the fall of 2008, I decided to take a day of solitude. I went to a nearby site with historic buildings and a large flower and plant garden. The purpose was not to enjoy everything, but to quiet myself. As I sat silently in a secluded vantage point in the garden, I was finally still enough inside to hear the voice of God. He ministered deeply to my soul, assuring me that I could trust Him despite... Read more

And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ (Ephesians 4.11-12, New American Standard) The first time I put Ephesians 4.11 together with Ephesians 4.12 was twelve years ago in a college ministry. I realized that college students are versatile and mobile. They are able to work in any... Read more
