I wanted to tell you all about a great event coming North Side’s way – the Vision of You 2008 Tour stopping down in Greenwood, SC on Feb. 24 featuring Shane and Shane, Starfield, and David Nassar. The first time I heard Shane and Shane, I was blown away. I heard the beautiful words of Scripture so wonderfully accompanied by …
“We can’t change our circumstances, but God can use our circumstances to change us.” That line was the Big Idea for a message I preached a few Sundays ago at North Side on nothing wasted. I was so encouraged to hear that our study in the passage of Romans 8:28 was able to help so many people out. I remember …
What would happen to Greenwood tomorrow morning if North Side Baptist Church ceased to be? What would take place in our community if our church’s presence in the community completely vanished? Would it be tragic or even noticeable? Would people miss a building or would they miss a movement? Would they realize only the numbers missed versus the lives transformed? …

Yesterday, a group from our staff went to Phil McMinn’s funeral. I posted about the tragedy associated with Phil’s death earlier this week. We went over to South Main and we had to go over to the overflow room because the sanctuary was so full. The overflow room was full as well. The pre-service worship started and through the video …
Thanks to the peeps who came out on Friday night to worship with us at the O.N.E. festival. We had a blast throwing our stuff on that stage, playing six songs really fast, getting excited with you guys, and then throwing our stuff back into Jamie’s minivan, and going to listen to some hip-hop at the next tent over. I …
North Side U is starting next Sunday, and I’m wrapping up some work on the class that I am teaching: Hermeneutics. Don’t let the big word scare you, it’s about reading the Bible for all its worth. I mean it can’t be hard if I’m using stick people to teach it. Have you ever read a passage that you thought …
Maybe you’ve seen the signs up around church about North Side University. We’ve a lot of questions, and I thought that I would give you a little heads up about this great upcoming option for our North Siders and their buds. If you have ever said, “I want to go a little deeper…I want to have a couple more tools …
