I can’t even begin to put into words what God was up to within our church family today. I felt like an army was receiving a set of instructions to go to battle. The eagerness in the room was noticeable. I cannot wait to see what Jesus does in the next 5 weeks. Service Order Scripture Reading – 1 Peter …
I had the honor of heading over to Chestnut Ridge Baptist Church this morning. I took a team of North Side Worship leaders and we led worship and I got to preach for two services, and I taught a class in the middle. Wonderful day with these wonderful folks! I got the privilege to spend the weekend with their student …
Today’s services weren’t supposed to happen. Our staff had some planning adjustments for the next few weeks of services. We were supposed to conclude “The LORD Is Salvation” series today with Isaiah 66. Due to some unforeseen dynamics, we needed to stretch it out a week, and so we added a service focused on Isaiah 62 today. I’ve never been …
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, -Isaiah 61:10 Wonderful services as we walked through Isaiah 61. Powerful time together! We had 1 worship team over at Connie Maxwell and many college students serving in …
We focused on Isaiah 58 today and it was an incredible time about talking about a true fast. Not an opportunity to get God’s attention, but a chance to be his hands and feet in the world. The band led so well today. I am just honored I get to be in the band. Scott Hill, our Mission Pastor, preached …
I have seen his ways, but I will heal him. -Is. 57:18 Today’s services focused on Isaiah 57 and it was an incredible time together!

HE IS RISEN! I love every Sunday, but Easter Sunday is especially rowdy! This year was no different. After a weekend full of “The Old Rugged Cross” services, we had incredible services on Sunday morning as we focused on Isaiah 55 and celebrated the great invitation given to us by God. Services were packed and it was so good to …
Loved celebrating Palm Sunday with the North Side family today. Our services were focused on Isaiah 52:13-53:12 as we kicked off Passion Week.

Powerful day with North Side family as we focused on Isaiah 48! Even on the dreaded Spring Forward Sunday, the church was getting after it this morning! We sang everything from Handel to Gaither this morning! If it is biblical theology, it needs to be sung no matter its age! Four of these songs are from our upcoming Easter services, …
Powerful day focusing on Isaiah 45 today! We tried to do some minor tweaking to the service to allow people to prepare to meet with God. It was pretty special seeing people quiet their souls before we began. Today’s service (well, at least the 11:00, we changed some things around on the spot at 9:30): Are You Washed in the …
Great time with our church family today. The worship team was great. The leadership and volunteers were getting after it all over the place. I loved getting to meet some new guests!

And the Lord said: “Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men -Isaiah 29:13 Such authentic services today.

Where is this ruthless world headed? As you look at the state of our world, it is easy to get overwhelmed with its course and direction. How are believers to respond? We addressed this issue today through the teaching of Isaiah 25. Our services were also built around this great chapter of Scripture. It was such a special time of …
Today was such a great reminder of God’s faithfulness for this church. He has been so good to this congregation and continues to show himself strong among us.

To say my heart is full tonight is an understatement. Words cannot describe all the wonders of what God is doing in the life of his church right now. I won’t apologize for the emotions, because God has just been so good to me and to his church. Today was absolutely full of God on the move. Here is how …
Such a special day to start out celebrating Christmas! We started a new series studying through the Book of Isaiah.

I love Jesus’ church. It is amazing to see what he is doing in our midst. Today we focused on 2 Thess. 2:13-17: 13 But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. 14 To this he called you through our gospel, so …
We had an awesome time at the Fall Festival last night, an extra hour of sleep last night (if you were able to take advantage of it), and we had two eager groups of worshipers this morning despite the rainy morning weather. Today was great! Our passage focused today on 2 Thess. 2:1-13 which many biblical scholars comment that it …
I wish I could say that when a service comes together like today’s service did, it is because we are just that smart. Unfortunately, I can’t say that. I wish I could say we were so good in calendar planning that we plan a prayer study to start the evening when a prayer passage is preached as we work through a …
Great day of worship with North Side today. As we dealt with 2 Thess. 1:5-10, it reminded me concerning the seriousness of both God’s wrath and mercy. While there were so many great things about today’s services, I loved the fact that the Hills were with us in worship all the way from Africa! They win the award for traveling …

Great day of worship today as we finished up 1 Thessalonians.
