One decision, one action, can produce a lasting...
We continue our series, Storyteller, as we examine the Ripple Effect this weekend. If you throw a rock into a pond, you’re going to get more than one ripple. There is a long physics/scientific explanation as to why this occurs but I don’t have to prove it to you; we all know it’s true. The same principle is true in every category of our living.One decision, one action, can produce a lasting (positive or negative) effect on countless others, even for generations to come.
Jesus often used simple invitations and asked simple questions when he encountered people. Their responses and the answers given…well, we are still experiencing the Ripple Effect some 2,000 years later. This is the last weekend for worship before the Single Greatest Experience in all of human history…EASTER! The Ripple of HOPE and LOVE still radiates out today.
God has chosen you (us) to play an important role in continuing the wave…by extending simple invitations. The “Life Story” video this weekend is an inspiring example of what the Lord can do with ONE SIMPLE INVITATION.
I can hardly wait to worship with you this weekend,
Pastor Ken

Some called this ... a Miracle
The date - February 22. The year - 1980. It was a classic David vs. Goliath, Good vs. Evil, “seemingly impossible” battle, played out on the worldwide stage. Some call what took place…a Miracle.
What is a miracle? Do miracles still happen today, or did they only exist in Bible times? Am I ever an actual participant in miracles, or resigned to be a constant observer from a distance?
These are some of the questions we will tackle this weekend at Cypress. Spoiler alert...miracles still happen today. I will be sharing a MIRACLE STORY involving a husband, a wife and their God. Trust me, it will speak to your heart.
If you’ve ever longed for a miracle…be here this weekend!

Every person you see today has a ... ?
While Serena and I were eating dinner in South Beach this past week, we saw a lot of
“interesting” people walk by, plus a Lamborghini and several Bentleys (it’s a different world down there). My “people watching” hobby kicked into overdrive. As I watched the most eclectic mass of humanity make their way past our table, I was reminded once again…EVERY PERSON HAS A STORY. They are coming from something or somewhere, heading toward something or somewhere else. There are not simply destinations in life; there are seasons and stages of life. I wanted to ask…Where do you live? Are you happy with life? Do you sense God-given passion and purpose in your living? You look sad…are you okay?
Every person you see today, every person you work with, every person at the grocery store, gas station and restaurant, or in your class or neighborhood…EVERY PERSON you encounter HAS A STORY.
This weekend, we continue our STORYTELLER series by looking at Success after Failure. How can something Good come after something Bad has happened?
It’s interesting how many great “heroes” of our faith were used greatly by the Lord after personal failure, or life’s seemingly “Knock Out Punch.”
Redeeming Grace…
See you soon,
Pastor Ken

What is something we have all faced in life?
I am very excited about our new series, Storyteller, which begins this weekend. Si, from Duck Dynasty, reminded us in the season premiere that every story has a beginning, a middle and an end. Lucky for us, our life story still has chapters to be written! No matter how good, or not so good, the chapters of our life story have been to this point, we can finish strong.
This weekend, we will be learning how to process and work through something we all have faced in life…BETRAYAL. If you could use an incredible real-life story of HOPE, and encouragement with Biblical Next Steps to use in your life story, then come ready! This would be a great weekend to invite a friend.
See you soon,

What Does a Man Want?
Foreigner had a hit song in 1977 called Cold as Ice. This song tells the story of a woman who was willing to sacrifice her love knowing, more than likely, one day she would pay a price. In light of our ice storm, it seemed fitting to reference this song by Foreigner or Ice, Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice…I believe I made the correct choice:)
This weekend, you will have an opportunity to participate during the close of our series, Great SEXpectations. We wrap up this series by looking at What a Man Wants and I have something special planned for our grand finale. I have been praying for weeks and believe, to the core of my being, that this weekend will be life-altering for many. They will look back to this weekend as a defining point in their life. I think many will say, “I experienced the healing touch of Christ that weekend.” I want you to experience it…come praying, come expecting.
One day, this weather will change. You and I can’t really do anything about it; in the meantime, we simply need to adjust to it. IN YOUR LIFE…YOU CAN DECIDE whether to live in winter or strive to feel the warmth of summer as the sun shines brightly over you!
PLUS…Special announcement this weekend!
These are great days and…IT’S A SNOW DAY!!

Where No Man Has Gone Before...unraveling the secrets of the female mind...
Dear Cypress,
SHORT VERSION = My wife, Serena, and I are sharing a little bit of our journey with you this weekend. I can hardly wait to dive into everything we’ve been working on over the last few days.
LONG VERSION = In my planning for week three of our Great SEXpectations series, my spiritual gift of discernment kicked into overdrive as I came to the realization that I might be in over my head on this one…I NEED HELP! Week three is all about unraveling the secrets of the female mind…what does she really mean? After Serena agreed that I needed assistance with this one, I quoted Genesis 2:18 and asked her for HELP! Serena said yes and, after I tweeted she was going to be “our guest speaker,” she was locked in:)
Seriously, I am really looking forward to this weekend. We have been married more than 20 years and I am still “learning” about the female mind. Serena will share some of the discoveries she has made along her own journey. I believe this weekend’s service (and message) will be a great encouragement to all women, no matter what their current relational status may be. I know the men will be reminded and enlightened, as I was, about the uniqueness of the female mind.
This would be a great weekend to invite a friend…go ahead and take the risk.
See ya soon,
Ken … and Serena
