LifeChurch Sermons--Pastor Craig Groeschel at LifeChurch has posted all of the videos and resources from their sermon series. Very biblically based, quite insightful, and a bit funny from tmie to time. If you're looking for some inspiration, check out this anthology.
LifeChurch Leader Resources--LifeChurch decided from the very beginning that their ministry was to help as many people as possible become committed followers of Jesus Christ. This includes sharing all of their production materials, curriculum, outlines, graphics, etc, free of charge to other church communities who could use them. There is a tremendous wealth of resources here.
Pastor Sam's Blog--Pastor Sam likes to blog from time to time about thoughts he's having or neat things he's pulled from Scripture that he thought would be helpful to share. His blog is called "Table Talks" and is intended for discussion around--you guessed it--tables.
