The 90 Day Outreach Challenge by Steve Sjogren
Church plants need to find creative ways to connect with the non-believing culture around them. If you pray for not-yet Believers to show up they will. But how do you lead them into relationship with Christ? Usually there is a process involved in leading them to Christ. When my wife Janie was seeking to know [...]
Evangelism Is Not Just Relationship by Rice Broocks
Or “You don’t have to know a drowning person to save their life.” There has been enormous emphasis placed on the need for relationship with people as the prerequisite for evangelism. So much so that some go as far as saying that relationship with others should be the only motive and not the hidden agenda of evangelism. Relationship-Relationship-Relationship…This [...]
Don’t Go Underground On Halloween by Marty Boller
I’ve been a proponent of servant evangelism for many years. Our Vineyard church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa is 13 years old and we’ve always had a heart for the type of outreaches that Steve Sjogren first brought to our attention in the Vineyard family back in the late 1980’s. Over the years we’ve done free [...]
The Crystal Cathedral – BTW, How’s Your Definition Going? by Steve Sjogren

It was an amazing, trend-setting place that was super creative. Things slowly changed however. Mostly the Cathedral stopped defining [...]
The Few Can Touch Many by Steve Sjogren

Bullhorn Evangelism… Is There A Better Way? by Steve Sjogren
Have you ever been dogged by someone that was excited about their faith? I was in the New York City area a while back when I got off a subway overpass in Queens to the sound of some Spanish preaching Pentecostals who were taking turns preaching (yelling loudly more accurately) into a bullhorn. As one [...]

Was Osama Bin Laden Saved?
The cover of Time magazine recently featured Pastor Rob Bell and his controversial new book that hones in on the weighty issue of eternity. In spite of Bell’s interview sidestepping since the book came out, the book flatly endorses Universalism – the notion that all will get a chance to come to Christ after death no [...]
A Biblical Commitment Demands Cultural Relevance by Paul Alexander
Much has been said and written in recent years, offering up all kinds of criticism of modern day Churches for trading off adherence to the Gospel of Jesus Christ for contemporary methods of communicating it. Interestingly enough the overwhelming majority of this criticism comes by way of other Churches. Typically it comes from Churches that [...]
