The Tyranny of Technology

July 17, 2022September 5, 2021 by Travis Agnew

1 Cor. 9:24-27; 6:12 – To experience spiritual sanity, we might require a digital detox. If you don’t discipline yourself to control technology, be assured that it is controlling you.

Disobedience: Confronting Your Sinful Leanings

September 2, 2021September 1, 2019 by Travis Agnew

While we all struggle with sin, we are each prone to wander in different ways. For those confronting disobedience in their own lives, God provides a path of escape through every temptation.

Undistracted Devotion

June 19, 2020February 14, 2017 by Travis Agnew

Erskine College Chapel February 14, 2017 1 Corinthians 7 Main Points If mission does not define the relationship, then the relationship will define the mission. The only way that you can decide to get married is if you can make a case before God that you can serve him better married than you can single. If you want to know …

Stop Saying “Judge Not”

January 23, 2020October 21, 2014 by Travis Agnew

I have a pet peeve. It bothers me when people use Scripture out of context to advance their agenda. Satan was the originator of that method (Luke 4:9-11) and people still do it today. Some people do it out of ignorance, and some do it in order to deceive. I have actually always wanted to do an entire sermon series on …

There Is Something Worse Than Being Single

November 10, 2011 by Travis Agnew

We had a great time at North Greenville this past week. The students were such a blessing to the whole Agnew clan and the boys already miss all of our friends!

Coming home Wednesday after 4 chapels and many side conversations, I thought of a few things I wish I would have said. Dealing with issues of dating and marriage, I talked with the students concerning how to find that person and what you do once you found them.

Many students would comment that they just can’t find someone to even start the possible partnership with. That reminded me of something I forgot to share with the students and might be a good reminder to you today.

There is something worse than being single.

Derailed by Rights

April 25, 2017April 10, 2011 by Travis Agnew

What a fantabulous day to be the church! Still buzzing from all God did in our midst this morning.

Week 6 in our “Derailed” series as we study through 1 Corinthians. Today, “Derailed by Rights” in 1 Corinthians 8. In Christ, we are made free, but what are we actually free to do? Many areas confuse Christians concerning what is permissible and what is not. In this message, we learn from the Apostle Paul concerning a life not derailed by personal rights. Wonderful message. Check it out!

Derailed by Sex

January 23, 2020April 3, 2011 by Travis Agnew

What a great day to be a part of North Side! I got the privilege of preaching for Jeff on the topic of “Derailed by Sex.”

Questions concerning sex and marriage were plaguing the Corinthians church and still plague believers today. The church raised questions through their lifestyle and in their letter to Paul in which he felt the need to respond on the issues of sex outside of marriage, sex within marriage, divorce, and singleness. His instructions to them still hold true for us today.

It was a difficult topic to address and a whole lot to cover, but I pray that it was a benefit to those listening today. If you want to check it out online, you can listen here.

Derailed by Lawsuits

January 23, 2020March 27, 2011 by Travis Agnew

I love loud worshipers, and North Side got after it this morning!

Wow, what an incredible time together. 4th week in our Derailed series through 1 Corinthians, and today we landed on lawsuits within the church. You gotta love the Word of God that makes it so clear for us to follow!

In addition to a great message, we also got to hear wonderful testimonies and promo for our Priscilla Shirer simulcast next week, commissioned some more college missionaries, and sang our faces off! For the entire flowsheet, go here.

Derailed by Negligence

January 23, 2020March 20, 2011 by Travis Agnew

Within the church, a sin that can wield more damage than immorality is that of negligence. When Christians don’t confront sin within the church, unholy living can become widespread. The Apostle Paul handles this situation in a surprising way in this ignored passage (1 Corinthians 5).

Today’s service was all about being “Derailed by Negligence.” We put the whole service together dealing with how do the people of God handle sin committed by the people of God.

In addition to a video on temptation, we had a prayer time for people who we knew that were getting far away from God. Using James 5:19-20 as our prayer focus, we prayed and planned how we would lovingly confront that person.

We also used some help to start out the message today. Using a mom, coach, and sheriff, we got everyone to imagine what those environments would look like if there was no discipline. Jeff came up then and asked would a church would look like without any discipline. Powerful message. The 1st time I have ever heard a pastor preach on 1 Corinthians 5.

Derailed by Immaturity

June 10, 2019March 13, 2011 by Travis Agnew

2nd week of Derailed, and what an incredible walk through 1 Corinthians so far! Getting to 1 Corinthians 3-4, we learned that Paul taught that immature believers are still selfish at their core. A believer, or a church, can get derailed when they make all the decisions based upon selfish desires.

It was great seeing the church in action today. We got to watch a great Disciple Now video recap highlighting our youth serving the community this weekend.

We also got the privilege to pray for Lander BCM students who have said yes to God’s call to go this summer! This crew is going to South Carolina to India and everywhere in between. It was so humbling watch “strangers” come up to these students and pray over them commissioning them out. Wonderful time!
