Thanks for dropping by!

I'm the lead pastor of First Church of the Nazarene in Jackson, Michigan. In a growing, changing faith community one of the great challenges we have is staying connected.

philstout.org is an attempt to connect us and to make my teaching ministry more interactive. But this isn't just for those who are part of our church. There is much here that goes beyond what's happening there. 

There are a number of purposes for philstout.org. It's a place where...

• you can listen to my messages (and those of other speakers at JaxNaz).
• you can access daily devotionals that are based on those messages. (Printable versions are available.)
• we can interact.

There are two blog streams. One is my Sermon Blog where I can add content to what I have spoken on in previous days. You can add comments, ask questions or do both.

The second is my ongoing Phil's Blog. This covers a number of topics that are of interest to me. Who knows, maybe some of them will be of interest to you, too!

• you can subscribe to feeds of the devotionals and/or blogs (see SUBSCRIBE down and to your left).
• you can check out some great sites and other resources.

Hopefully, we can do some stretching and growing together.

Again, thanks for dropping by. Come often!

Phil
