This Sunday will be all about giving thanks. We will spend time in praise together and learn what the Bible says about being thank-full people. We will also have a time of open mic sharing so you can thank the Lord publicly for who he is or what he has done in your life this past year.  I can't wait to be together. visit us at:  conejochurch.com

This coming Sunday, November 21, I’ll be wrapping up our series on Word, Deed, and Spirit. I hope you have learned half as much as I have in the process!   Here’s a question for you:  Have you ever had someone ask you, “Why are YOU here?” Have you ever asked yourself the same question? God put you here—right here, for a purpose. Do you know what it is and what to do next about it? Read I Peter 4:1...

Michele Telfer will be teaching about Romans 5.  It says we can actually glory in sufferings because of the character, hope, and love they are able to produce in our lives. As we face challenges over the next few years, let's learn to see them from God's perspective.  visit us at:  conejochurch.com

This coming Sunday, November 7, I’ll be teaching about MISSION. How can we better understand the “Missio Dei” and our role in it? When I grew up, mission was usually called missions.  This weekend, let’s knock the “s” right off it together!  If you’d like to read ahead, please check out Luke chapter 10.  Yes, the whole darn thing.   visit us at:  conejochurch.com

This past Sunday, I preached about spiritual gifts.  We all have them as believers, but it seems like most Christians don't know what their gifts are or how to develop them. And no, sarcasm is not a spiritual gift! :).   If you don't know what your gifts are, here is how to find out:  Read Romans 12, I Cor. 12, Eph. 4, I Peter 4 and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you. Talk to a friend/s...

This coming Sunday we will continue our series in “Word Deed and Spirit“ with a teaching about spiritual gifts.  As believers in Jesus, we all have spiritual gifts. Yes, even you! I am surprised how many people have been Christians for a long time and do not know or have not developed their gifts… We don’t have any more time to waste. Let’s become the strong Body of Christ that God desires us to b...

This Sunday I’ll be teaching again on the Holy Spirit. Two weeks ago we scratched the surface, and I can't wait to go a little deeper together this weekend. visit us at:  conejochurch.com

I'll be continuing our Word/Deed/Spirit series talking about what happens when Word and Spirit work together in our lives. The result is having "The Mind of Christ". Please join us as we unpack this often overlooked but very powerful idea in the New Testament. visit us at:  conejochurch.com

Michele Telfer (intheword.com) will be teaching on "Perseverance". In other words, how can each of us get through when things get tough?  How is perseverance part of our walk with the Lord?   visit us at:  conejochurch.com

This week our theme will be "DEED". We will get into how our works relate to our faith and where a servant's heart actually comes from. If you're an excellent servant, you will cheer. If you struggle in this area and wish you were like other people, I believe it will be VERY encouraging to you as well.   visit us at:  conejochurch.com

Today I explain my passion for, and Conejo's commitment to, "Word" as a huge priority. What is your relationship like right now with God's Word? Think about it... visit us at:  conejochurch.com

This week I’ll be kicking off a new series called “Word, Deed, and Spirit”.  These are the three major priorities for Conejo Church as we walk into this next season together.  Let’s talk about how they are also priorities to look for in any church on the planet and also in our own lives.  Spoiler alert: “The Hokey Pokey” has a lot to do with this week’s sermon. visit us at:  conejochurch.com

Our subject for today is "Anxiety and Meditation". Let's learn about how Christian meditation can focus our minds, our emotions, and also our lives. Our own John Barbour will be preaching and Anne will be leading worship. visit us at:  conejochurch.com

This coming Sunday, I’ll be teaching about “Pace and Peace”.  How much did Jesus get done in a short amount of time?  How rushed do you think he was while he was doing it?  I believe that our frantic pace is very different from how Jesus lived each day.  I also believe it can keep us from abiding in him.   Check out these verses from Matthew 11 in The Message, “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out...

Hi Conejo Family, I pray your summer is wrapping up well. What’s the greatest experience you had all summer?  Where did you see God clearly at work? Make sure you take time to say, “Thanks, Lord!” Last Sunday, Pastor Tom Eyre preached about “Renewing our minds”.  If you missed it, please catch up! It was a fun and practical teaching about listening to God’s voice rather than all the other voices a...

This coming Sunday, I get to host my friend, Pastor Tom Eyre, at Conejo.  I know you’ll enjoy every minute of his teaching and also his accent. visit us at:  conejochurch.com

This coming Sunday, July 25, we will get into I John chapter 4.  This is where we find the famous verse, “Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world”.  How do we live out this amazing truth in our lives?  This passage has lot to say about how to tell what is true and what is false.  Coming out of a year of fake news, exaggerated claims, and predictions that didn’t happen, we really...

This week is all about where Christian love comes from and how to stand before God someday in confidence rather than fear.  Great stuff!  visit us at:  conejochurch.com

I’ll be teaching I John 3.  Here are some of the questions we will be dealing with: How do I know if I’m really walking with God?  Why do I feel guilty all the time?  How do I really know if I have eternal life?   visit us at:  conejochurch.com

This week is all about how different God’s love really is and how His love can and should shape our whole lives.  Have your love and your faith been growing lately?  Get ready to be challenged. visit us at:  conejochurch.com

This Sunday, July 4, Michele Telfer will be teaching. Her subject will be Jesus washing the feet of his disciples! If you haven’t heard Michele before, get ready to be blessed in a big way.   visit us at:  conejochurch.com

We have been in a new series on the book of I John the past 2 weeks. This week, we will continue and get into I John 1:5-10. For extra credit, read ahead so you are ready to get into it!  What does it mean to "walk in light" or "walk in darkness"?  Do real Christians sin?  John talks about these questions and a few other great ones in these powerful verses. visit us at:  conejo...

This Sunday is Father’s Day. I will be bringing our first message in the new I John series, and it will be all about fathers and children. Check out I John 2:12-14!  Saint John was a spiritual dad to many people and we can learn from his amazing example.  Both of my earthly dads will be part of the service on Sunday as well, so don’t miss it!  Donuts and coffee are back, just in time for Father’s...
