Testimony in Uncertainty

A few weeks ago I posted this entry and video of Matt Chandler. Matt is probably my favorite preacher to listen to right now. Since I posted that entry Matt has been through some tough times. On Thanksgiving Day Matt had a seizure and, after investigation, the doctors determined he had a brain tumor. More >

New Series Starts Sunday

Well, we’re fully in Christmas mode, heading toward December 25, and so, it’s natural we begin a new sermon series. Of course, the series is themed for the season. We’re calling it Xmas: What’s Missing in Your Christmas? I’m looking forward to this one. Praying that God will work through our music and message to More >

Jesus Wants the Rose

One of my favorite preachers right now is Matt Chandler, pastor the The Village Church in Highland Village, Texas. His wisdom defies his years. He gets the Gospel.

New Series: ReThink Church

We’re launching a new 3 week series at LifePointe this Sunday and I’m pumped. Our last series, or as some have called it, marathon, lasted some six months. That’s a tad bit longer than most series but you just can’t condense The Sermon on the Mount into a couple of intense sermons!
Our new series is More >

What Not to Do Performing a Wedding

Singers forget the words, ring-bearers start wailing and run to Momma, or a bridesmaid goes the wrong way. But the pastor, well, he has to exhibit control and coolness. It’s just part of the job More >

Scriptures for December 21 2008

Once again the sermon today had many Scripture references and I want to make them all available to you. Today we looked at the Incarnation, how God came to us in Jesus, fully God, fully man, to build a bridge across the gap that separates us from Him. So, here you go.

But you may More >

Sermon Intro Video: Big Words

I started a sermon series last week called Big Words, where we’re examining a few of the big words from the Bible and what they mean to and for us. Here’s the intro video I came up with for the series. For some reason it’s very pixelated at YouTube. Anyway, I love doing these things. More >

Scriptures Used in November 30 Sermon

I used a lot of different Scripture passages in the sermon today. Here’s all of them, in case you’re interested.

And the Lord was also angry with me because of you. He said to me, ‘Moses, not even you will enter the Promised Land!’(Dt 1:37, NLT)
I feared that the furious anger of the Lord, which turned More >
