Something new is happening at St. Paul!

The Gathering at St. Paul is a worship experience built for real life — a space where conversation, community, and authentic faith meet.

Pull up a chair at a round table, share in meaningful modern worship, and join in thoughtful discussions that connect Scripture to everyday life. It’s relaxed, interactive, and deeply rooted in God’s Word.

If you’re looking for a place where you can breathe, belong, and grow… this might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

“He humbled himself and became vulnerable, choosing to be revealed as a man and was obedient. He was a perfect example, even in his death—a criminal’s death by crucifixion! Because of that obedience, God exalted him and multiplied his greatness!” (Philippians 2:6-8, TPT).

I love babies—particularly now as a grandfather. It’s good to be a grandpa. I can hand my grandson back over to my children when he gets fussy. All kidding aside, I am fascinated by babies. They are so amazingly complex. They are also exceptionally vulnerable.

“Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ” (Ephesians 5:21, NASB)

Fear is one of humanity’s greatest gifts. Fear is also humanity’s greatest struggle. Fear is necessary to alert us when danger presents itself. Fear jump-starts adrenal activity to help our body move away quickly from potential harm.

Extended periods of fear, however, can do great damage to both our bodies and minds. Fear leads to hypertension, heart disease, and conditions such as post-traumatic stress. Fear is a double agent, bringing about both good and bad.

“…for all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted” (Luke 18:14, NIV).

Several years ago, I visited the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville, Ohio. I was part of a team that participated in a ministry conference within the prison walls. I recall doctors, teachers, businessmen, and pastors sitting and praying side-by-side with robbers, rapists, and murderers.

Bible scholar, John Phillips, once told the fable of a king who had two sons. The sons came to their father with a question: “Is a gentleman made or born?” The king replied, “Well, what do you think?” The first son responded, “I think that a gentleman is born a gentleman.” The other son disagreed saying, “No, I believe a gentleman becomes a gentleman by training and discipline.” So, the king issued a challenge. “Each of you will receive a chance to prove your case by presenting me with proof of your opinions a week from today.”
