Every day I am intentional about attaining knowledge and asking the Lord for wisdom. I’ve found that great lessons are all around us if we are willing to soak them up. I compare it to when my family bought a Dyson brand vacuum cleaner. Our old vacuum was barely getting the job done for a [...]

But now, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand. - Isaiah 64:8 One of my greatest joys as a Pastor is to have the opportunity to develop Godly men. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a work in progress myself [...]

Sunday, December 30th, I had the honor of preaching for my friend, Pastor Jumaine Jones of The Bridge in D.C. The people of The Bridge are a very kind and generous people and their professionalism ran throughout their entire organization. It was truly an honor to join The Bridge this past weekend. The DMV is better because of the people of The [...]

Last weekend we experienced a tragedy. At Captivate we chose to address the questions people have in times like these. Below is both the video and raw notes from the message. The notes are unedited but may be useful for following along during the sermon or to study at a later time. I’m posting for [...]

Meet Captivate: Chris

Tally Wilgis — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 12:45:50 +0000

A few years ago I met this man named Chris who was giving Captivate Church a shot after co-workers who attended Captivate told him that he needed to give his life to Christ. Being open but not convinced, Chris attended the church not really expecting to find anything noteworthy from his visit. What he found [...]

Captivate Christmas in the City

Over the last 3 years we have been fortunate to have developed a wonderful relationship with the local elementary school closest to our inner city East Baltimore location. The school, William Paca Elementary, is led by a wonderful and encouraging principal named Mrs. Tose. During the Christmas season each of the last few years, Captivate [...]

Thank You Captivate

Thanks to the people of Captivate we have seen over 220 people trust Christ as Lord and Savior and we’ve baptized 80. Last week and this week we’ve seen two more salvations. As I reflect on all of those lives we’ve seen changed by the Lord I can only think of all of the many [...]

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. – 1 Corinthians 10:31 The election is finished but our time to serve the Lord is not. Let us all take a deep breath. That feels better, doesn’t it? 17 Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those [...]

Huff Post Live

It was my honor to be invited to appear on Huff Post Live to discuss the Presidential election. In a newspaper interview last week I was quoted in regards to my decision not to vote for Mitt Romney, thus making me an undecided voter. Huffington Post called and invited me to appear to discuss my [...]

Call Me Undecided If You Must

Tally Wilgis — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 22:12:30 +0000

For the first time in my life I will not be voting for either major party candidate in a U.S. Presidential election. In addition to being a pastor I am an avid fan of the political process. My undergraduate degree is in government with a pre-law concentration. Were it not for my love of ministry and the joy [...]
