Mark Flanders was the worship pastor at Renaissance church, and was responsible for the upcoming Christmas special. There was a lot going on in the lives of his team members though; and Mark was starting to find out how messy the lives of church people could be. As their stories intertwine and collide, would their passions and addictions destroy the team and the church? Or would their faith bring them (and Mark) through the fire. When all is said and done, will they be able to sing a song of joy?

SIN
"Was it the kiss? Was it me?" "No!" He vociferates, throwing his hands up dramatically. "Yes! It's you!" He comes to stand in front of me again. "I don't know what you're doing to me" he shakes his head in defeat. "I've never had any girl make me want to break any promises. Not the ones that I made to myself, and especially not the ones that I made to God" Can you name one thing in this world that is more pleasurable than S I N? No? Well that's because we all love to SIN! ~~~~~~ THIS STORY CONTAINS different POV, it doesn't necessarily focus on JUST two main characters, but trust me, it is worth the read!

An Interesting Youth Pastor (And How He Saved Me)
He is the Savior and God for millions of people and yet if He acted the way He did in His scripture today most of us would not mark Him for the messiah He is. Most modern Christians would exclude their savior based on His drinking habits alone. But what if we could see Him for what He truly is? As if He was a pastor at our church not a character in a book we maybe don't take a seriously as its author. Better yet what if He chose to suffer the children to come to Him and signed on as a youth pastor. Jesus Christ! Jesus said that He is the chief shepherd, a word in biblical Greek that has been translated as our modern day pastor. So while it may or may not be mentioned or noted He is the pastor of every church that has Christians in it. Jesus also said that the kingdom of heaven belonged to children. That their faith was to be an example for other older saints. He even went so far as to threatening a watery death for those who cause children to sin. It's clear He took children's ministry seriously. What if He took it literally? Let's take a look at how Jesus would act, speak and live in our lives. Just as if He was working at your church. Working with troubled teens, preaching the gospel He founded centuries ago. See how the messages of peace and love and forgiveness play out with selfies, the internet and high school. As if he were... "An Interesting Youth Pastor" Are there places where we avoid His example? Are there times where we prefer our own way of life and church? Where would our savior surprise us in the religion He founded centuries ago by dying for our sins. Would the processes or church work mesh nicely with our savior? Would our traditions and Christian culture in North America be embraced by His leadership? Most importantly would His youth group know He was Jesus Christ? Son of God and Savior of the world.Lengkap

Belief in Miracles (completed)
There were only two things Summer knew about Christians: that they were hypocrites, and that she wanted nothing to do with them or the God they worshiped. When she is urged to attend a support group led by a local church, the last thing she wants to do is get involved, certainly not with its parishioners. Then she meets Sebastian. A member of the church, Sebastian is a Christian in every sense of the word, with a painfully optimistic outlook on life- even though he is dying of cancer. Despite Summer's animosity towards God, she takes a liking to Sebastian and his "bizarre" Christian behavior. Though neither of them believes in love at first sight, something quickly brews between them as Sebastian makes it his life's mission to show her how a true follower of Christ is meant to be, and help her rekindle her forsaken faith. However, as his health deteriorates, they are forced to realize that it takes more than a little faith to stand against death. Sometimes, it takes a belief in miracles.Lengkap
