If you are just catching up on this, scroll down to see my earlier posts on this topic. My previous examples were from the Old Testament. What about the New? As you probably imagined, there are many. I’ll pick one for today and one for the next post. The first is found in Acts 8:9-24 […]
READ MOREIf you missed part one of this, go here. The second biblical example of this phenomenon actually happened many, many times. I will just pick one at random for us to take a look at. I’m talking about the ‘high places‘ of false worship that became an ongoing struggle for God’s chosen people throughout the […]
READ MOREThis weekend we talked about who Francis Chan calls, “The Forgotten God.” It’s a book worth reading! And just who is the forgotten God? Well, it’s not just God, but rather a member of the Godhead–the missing person of the Trinity–The Holy Spirit. Think about it. How often do we hear sermons preached about the […]
READ MOREHave you ever been in school, in a staff meeting, or even in church when your eyes start to wander? Something catches your eye and you start checking out your surroundings. “What is that person wearing? That person is so checking their messages, Ha!

READ MOREJudges aren’t too popular these days–have you noticed that? Perhaps that is because it is their job to enforce the law but so many seem to think they should legislate from the bench instead. Rewriting the law instead of upholding it is so much more fun. Who knows? What I do know is that judging […]
READ MOREClosed out our short (2 week) stewardship series yesterday–“The Treasure Principle,” with a message entitled, “Transfer of ownership.” Truth is, our stuff is not really our stuff. We just get to manage a pile of resources for this short life and one day we will give and account before God of who we did with […]
READ MOREWow – a lot has happened in our reading over the last five days! We went from Moses receiving the 10 commandments from God, to Joshua and the Israelites conquering Jericho. There is one main thread throughout these five days that I want to focus on. In fact, if we can get this, we will […]
READ MOREThis morning was the first Monday of October and that makes it, “Man Up Monday.” I love to get together with a large group of men who are serious about being godly leaders for the King! This morning we talked about the first of 7 things every man needs to take serious if they want […]
READ MOREWow! Another amazing weekend @ Southbrook Church, and this after teaching on the greatest feared topic of all time–“MONEY!” “Money, money money money…MONEY!” That’s a great song, huh? Let’s face it, people don’t want to talk about their stuff. We can talk about nearly anything else on the planet before we’re willing to hear what […]
