For fun I’m reposting a summer series from 2010 from when I took a paper route while trying to get MainStreet started. Enjoy!

I thought ‘real adults’ become early birds like my dad when … More Nocturnal Summer 2 – Night Watchman

Reposted from April 2011 and worth repeating…daily. -JB I often get asked, “How is the church plant doing?

Reposted from July 2012. -JB This July the City of Mound celebrates her centennial. It’s a time to look back and remember the people and places that have shaped our shared history.

“The Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes” (Psalm 118:23). They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So I won’t try to describe the product of the past seven years of ministry, prayer, obedience to God, relentlessly chasing after a God-given vision and holding fast to a dream for … More Grand Opening Update: “The LORD has done this…”

Enjoy this growing collage of news headlines from our past years of local ministry in Mound. I’m very proud of these articles — not because I want my own name lifted up but because far too many churches are irrelevant to the broader community today. MainStreet’s burning passion is to bring the life-transforming message and … More Making Local Headlines for Jesus
