This week’s bad church sign of the week is due to inconsistent communication. The sign reads: “Four Mile Baptist Church: 2 Miles” I don’t know why this church is called Four Mile, but it is only 2 miles away. The communication is very confusing. Is this like the narrow road and there is a riddle to figure out to find …
Last night I was honored to speak at Isothermal Community College in Shelby, NC. Over 25 churches worked together to do a community True Love Waits rally and rented out the beautiful facilities at the Foundation. I was blown away to see how these churches of the same community worked together to reach their students. The worship band from Element …
Today we started a new series at North Side called “GRACE.” To help us understand the gospel, for the next few weeks, we will use the acrostic “GRACE:” God, Rebellion, Atonement, Conversion, and Eternity. The gospel begins with God. In fact, it is accurate to say that everything in life begins with God. Jeff’s message was so powerful: anytime you …
This Sunday, we will be doing a new song for our congregation that I am very excited about. The song is from Hillsong entitled “High and Lifted Up.” The first time I heard this song was last year riding on my lawn mower listening to my iPod. I almost had to pull the lawn mower over and park it because …
In John Maxwell’s book, entitled Developing the Leaders Around You, he focused on the intentional development of other potential leaders. In one lesson, Maxwell stated, “The greatest leadership principle I have ever learned in over twenty-five years of leadership is that those closest to the leader will determine the success level of that leader.” While I truly believe that previous …
Yesterday, we concluded the Crossroads series with a message entitled, “The Messiah Tension.” Many people are confused really if Jesus meets the qualifications of the long-awaited Messiah. I talked about three major objections to Jesus in my message before getting to the real objection. The real objection to following Jesus for many people is they simply don’t want to follow …
While the United States is still working on how to appropriate the funds for our national bailout, we are still unaware of when or if this financial crisis will be averted. If you watch the news at all (or gaze at your retirement), you feel the pain and realize that this national crisis is affecting everyone. I believe that the …
Do you ever get to one of those places in your life where you really, really want to follow Jesus? I’m not talking about simply being involved in religious activity, I mean, do you ever truly desire to follow Jesus the way He commanded us? In Chuck Colson’s book, How Now Shall We Live?, he writes of a lady who …
This week’s bad church sign states: “There’s no A/C in Hell! …either.” First off, I believe hell’s description is a tad bit worse than simply the absence of controlled air. If that is the worst description you can think of, you really don’t understand it. But by using an exclamation point, why are the deciding to yell at us? Then…”either.” …
Today was week 2 in the Crossroads series. The message today centered on “The Muslim Salvation.” In my message, I spent half of the time giving the history of the prophet Muhammad and the foundation of Islam. For the second part of the message, I explained five key differences between Islam and Christianity. We had a recording glitch yesterday, so …
