- Awesome services today! I love being a team with my incredible wife, Caryl. I am so blessed to have a female pastor who does ministry by my side! Today she continued our series "The Sickness Within" and tackled Bitterness!
- Thank-you to Kim Isaac for your bravery and courage to tell your story today as a part of the message! Your honesty & openness was moving and will encourage many to tackle the roots of their bitterness!
- Two big weeks of events are finally over - Founder's Day & Oktoberfest - both in Maricopa. Thank you for the tireless volunteers who helped to organize and staff these events. We are sure to see the benefits for months to come.
- Salvation in the house - last week and this week - salvation! It's why we exist. It is why we do what we do! Let's take the next steps to help these new believers to learn the path of discipleship.
- Baptism - 4 individuals got baptized in the spa in my backyard. Over 80 people came to have a potluck and witness this event. I love the stories, the diversity and the hand of God in the journey. From the innocence of an 8 yr old to the intellectual, now convinced, teen to the 30-something couple full of love for a Savior - now living in radical abandon for Christ - the power of God is evident. I love hearing people tell their story and how good for the soul to see their public commitment.
- Praying for the MANY who are looking for jobs right now. I pray that God will miraculously open doors that they did not know were there. Be their provision and their foundation.
- Excited about the 17 individuals or families that are in their 3rd week of Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University at Oasis. This is very timely. In fact Caryl and I have decided to switch-up our next series that begins Sunday Nov 9th to talk about MONEY. This is something that we all are interested in and something we all need to put into perspective - God's perspective.
- Looking forward to getting out of town this week with a friend - if just for a day! Refreshing.....
- Oasis - we love you! It is so incredible to see the community that is developing. You have overwhelming love....oh, how can it be? Only those who have been set free can love so freely.
- We have been forgiven much...so we must forgive much as well - this was what God spoke to our hearts today. Be blessed this week- Pastor Scott

hey just caught your blog here after catching a link to it on patrick conti's blog (children's cup missionary in swaziland)... been following you on twitter for a while now - but didn't realize the connection with patrick. how'd that come about?
Hi Dan - we met Patrick via the ARC - he then came through AZ to visit some family and we had some time to spend with him. We are on his mailing list and regularly pray for him.
We're an ARC church plant and feel a very strong connection to HPC as our heartbeat is a lot like yours. I'm also friends with Buck in El Paso so hoping to get to meet all of you one day soon. - Thanks for checking out my blog. I'm working to become a better, more consistent blogger but as you can see I still have gaps! - Thanks for all you and your family do for the Kingdom. - Scott
