The final leadership principle modeled by Jesus was his empathy. Since Jesus did not come to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45), Jesus had an uncanny knack of identifying with people and empathizing with them concerning their needs. Jesus was able to ascertain current events and evaluate how to minister to people’s true spiritual needs. Due to his close …
You know this one is going to be a problem just by the title. This week’s bad church sign states: “Bible Study 7 PM Bring Bible, Scissors” Normally, at this point, I try to explain to you what the intended message probably was, but this week I have no clue. They either are doing crafts or they are taking bits …
We have experienced some problems with the website over the last few weeks, but now the sermons are back up and things should be normal. Go to northsidebc.org and you can listen to the latest messages and even the message from Christmas Eve!

Worship set list for the day: All Things New – Travis Agnew Marvelous Light – Charlie Hall Give Us Clean Hands – Charlie Hall Make Me Holy – Travis Agnew I Stand Amazed – Chris Tomlin version Did I ever …
Happy Saturday. I wanted to encourage you to make sure you make it to North Side tomorrow for the new sermon series, “What Happens in Vegas.” I have been anticipating this sermon series for over 32 months. In a brainstorming session back in the summer of 2006, the idea for this series was mentioned. We all loved the idea, but …
After all of my scholarly reading and my theological writing that I have embarked upon over the last few months, I have finished the first draft of chapter 3 and I only have one theological phrase to utter: woo hoo! I am currently listening to Crowder’s “We Win!” blaring in my home office and getting jacked up! Finishing this chapter …

With the dawn of a new year, I will lay out my 9 resolutions for 09: To know Jesus more intimately To prize my wife above any treasure of this earth To model Christlikeness in front of my son To recreate just for the sake of relaxation To finish writing Freshmen …
This week’s church sign of the week speaks volumes culturally. At the bottom of this sign, it reads: “The church, unchanged for over 200 years, is now cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust.” While I imagine that this church is serving more as a museum than an actual meeting place from a church (or it may serve as both), …
After Jesus began his preaching ministry (Mark 1:15), one of the first tasks he engaged in was building a team of disciples (Mark 1:16-17). Calvin Miller stated, “In order to build a true team spirit, you must delegate accountability and glory as well as responsibility.” Jesus built a great team since he did all of those three items extremely well. …
The last Sunday of 2008. Wow. What a year. It was great to be able to tickle the ivories and lead in worship this Sunday. It seems like every week, I hear people singing out more and more! That’s so exciting. I truly believe God was honored with what happened today! We worshiped to the following songs: Joy to the …
