In our culture today, seeing adult men make decisions for Christ and then choosing to be baptized is a full-on miracle. We see it over and over here at Milestone as we partner with wives praying for their husbands and inviting them to come to church. Once they get here, the best part is hearing these men say, “Well, unfortunately I liked it.” One of my favorite moments from last weekend was getting to share with you Michael’s story. His…
My name is Evan Gusti, and this is the story of how my life was turned around… In September of 2016 I moved from Clearwater, FL to Grapevine, TX. This move was really hard on me. It was right in the middle of my high school experience. My parents are strong Christians and I grew up knowing right from wrong, but I had never really owned my faith personally or surrendered my life to Jesus. Here I was…a 16 year…
Last Saturday over 2,000 volunteers set out from Milestone Church on a mission to serve the people of our region at our 2nd annual Serve Day. Teams of red shirts could be seen all over the area serving in over 60 compassion projects. Yet behind every repair made or trash bag collected, every game played or face painted, behind every conversation started, the motivation remained the same: reaching people with the love of Jesus. We are an everyone church here…
Melissa Canas and Connie Ghere are both from the same small town in Oklahoma. Three years later and over 300 miles away God set up an unlikely encounter to change acquaintances into life-long friends. From Melissa: About 18 months ago I walked into the waiting room at my doctor’s office. While I was searching for an empty seat a woman was walking out and as I glanced at her I realized that I knew her. It took me a moment…
Even when we are running in the opposite direction, God relentlessly pursues us. He’s constantly moving on our behalf—orchestrating divine encounters and placing people in our path to show us His love. We can often chalk these things up to chance, but if we pause to look back at our journey, we can see He’s been in every single detail. Today Jesse shares her story of how God moved in her life and used several different people along the way…
“Good Friday” is a catchy phrase—an easy way to remember a very important day. But let’s be honest…the name falls short in capturing the depth of emotion and eternal significance of the day it celebrates. And yet Jesus told His followers to remember His death every time they gathered. He wanted them to always keep it in front of them. He wanted this understanding to be at the forefront of their minds. But why? I don’t know about you but…
“Dad, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior!” These are the words that my son, Dalyn Frigaard, proclaimed to me one night after he attended Elevate at Milestone Church. Little did I know this was the beginning of our family transformation. I remember the excitement in Dalyn’s eyes as he started this journey. My first thought when Dalyn told me that he had become a Christian was that this was great because it will keep him around…
