Message Resources
Coming out of the stands…
Tonight at worship, Mike will be preaching the fourth message from our We Believe message series. I have a half-written sermon that I’m looking at here for tonight. Jack’s birth put me out for this Saturday which is focused on “The Problem of Sin.” The following video was one that I was planning on showing [...]
I need me some DSL
I’m in the office real quick today just getting some stuff done that I needed to do online. We’re all moved into our new house in Mansfield, but still lacking internet service which is driving me a little nuts. AT&T promised today we’d have it up by Wednesday. We will see. One of the things [...]
What it means to forgive…
The following is a quote I shared in my message last night that didn’t make it onto the sermon notes that we hand out each week so I thought I’d share it here.
Vengeance is having a videotape planted in your soul that cannot be turned off. It plays the painful scene over and over again inside your [...]
My experience with farming
This weekend, we are looking at the Parable of the Sower and the Seed found in Matthew ch. 13. In preparation for this message, I thought back to my experience with “farming.” Growing up, some of my favorite memories of my Papaw [my Dad's dad] is spending time with him in his garden behind his [...]
Prodigal Daughter
I spent most of the week this past week trying to figure out how to use this video during my message last night. It really fit well, but I eventually decide to cut it in the interest of time. The image and music are powerful reminders of the grace of a father who waits for [...]
The Secret Message Teaser
As I prepare for our next message series which begins tomorrow [Saturday], I thought I would write up a little teaser intro to the series. I’m really excited about this series because I love teaching from the Gospels and the fact that we’re focusing specifically on the parables makes it even better. Hopefully the following [...]
Our next message series
We’re only halfway through the book of James, but I am already excited about our next message series which will start on Saturday May 31st. We finalized the graphics for that series yesterday, and I thought I would share those here. For some time now, we’ve worked with Josh Brown from Red Cowboy Designs.
If you’re [...]
A great moment in worship
I meant to post this last night after worship. It’s been a busy Sunday and I finally had a moment to sit down and write. We had a really special moment during our Saturday night worship service last night that I wanted to share.
After I finished the sermon and closed in prayer, I turned [...]
Final Prep for Easter
It’s Saturday morning and I’m making final prep for our Easter Saturday night service this evening. My apologies to anyone looking for the Friday playlist. Posting that completely slipped my mind yesterday, but I’ll have those tracks up before Monday morning for those who are using that daily reading plan. I hope to see many [...]
Taking stock
I’m thinking this will be my final post in the “Life of Discipline series.” This will bring the total up to 23 posts over the course of the Lenten season. It’s really hard for me to evaluate the effectiveness of this as a resource for others. I’ve heard some good feedback on the Friday Playlists [...]
