christian garden eden
Initially, when I first became a Christian and got into ministry, my thought was that God existed to make my life better and to take me to Heaven. Now I realize that it is not about me at all. It is all about God and that He did this to display His plan to restore the Earth to the Garden of Eden state.
friday team sunday
Usually I'm able to prepare a message about two to three weeks in advance.I know some preachers don't like that. They want to be finishing it on Friday before they preach it on Sunday, but our worship team really likes me to get it done way in advance.
jesus men hair
We need to remember that the first disciples were ordinary men called to an extraordinary mission. Their devotion to Jesus outweighed- by hair- their fears and insecurities. As a result God change them and use them to accomplish some mind-boggling things. Why couldn't God - why wouldn't God do the same in your life?

The lack of God-centeredness leads to self-centeredness.
christian occupation praise
Praise is the highest occupation of any being
forgiveness facts sin
There are some facts that will never change. One fact is that you are forgiven. If you are in Christ, when he sees you, your sins are covered-he doesn't see them. He sees you better than you see yourself.
weekend church pastor
We're also a multi-site church, so we have other pastors on other campuses who want to read the message before the video plays on the weekend services. So it just works better for me.
life serenity heaven
Your serenity matters to heaven. God's presence encapsulates your life.
dollars goodness boast
I choose goodness... I will go without a dollar before I take a dishonest one. I will be overlooked before I will boast. I will confess before I will accuse. I choose goodness.
motivational want saws
He saw you in your own Gethsemane and He didn't want you to be alone..He would rather go to hell for you than to haven without you.
trying march january
In March 2011 I'm trying to decide on a sermon series that I will preach in January 2012. So, I'm about six months out.
heaven attention earth
Unhappiness on earth cultivates a hunger for heaven. By gracing us with a deep dissatisfaction, God holds our attention.
trust-in-god antidote ifs
There's an antidote to our fears- trust. If we trust God more,we can fear less.
worry people way
You know people just assume, 'Well, all my life I'll be a worrier.' That doesn't have to be true. There's a way to drink from God's presence so much that worry begins to dissipate.
