Another celebration of all those who stepped out boldly proclaiming Jesus through baptism! This will never get old! Today we also kicked off our Impact series with the message, “Mark the Body.” God first put the desire in my heart to talk about our church’s “Points of Passion” seven or eight years ago with the […]
READ MOREWow! We saw 38 people step out in obedience to Christ and get baptized at Grace yesterday!! And I’m telling you, this will NEVER get old! What a blast they must have had in Heaven as we celebrated down here! Why are baptisms so often treated more like funerals than celebrations? Why, as my pastor […]
READ MOREI absolutely loved Sunday with my GCC Family! We wrapped up our short, two week mini series called, “Stop Dating the Church.” Jesus said in Matthew 16 that a church built on rock solid, biblical foundations would be so powerful that even the most wicked fortress or stronghold imaginable—even one ruled by Satan himself—even one […]
READ MORE· I broke one of the cardinal rules of Sunday Evening Mind Dumping…I missed Sunday! So, I made the executive decision to change it to a Monday Evening Mind Dump.

READ MOREOne of the ministries I follow is called, “Voice of the Martyrs.” It’s an outreach and awareness ministry to help individuals and their families who are being persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and even killed for being followers of Jesus. The key word here is “followers.” Did you know that it’s perfectly fine to be a “fan” […]
READ MOREI’m still celebrating our new brothers and sisters in Christ who bent the knee to the Savior this past Easter at GCC! That, my friends, never gets old! And I wish I could say that heaven starts now for the new believer, but I would be doing a disservice at best. Though you have been […]
READ MOREOk, not much mystery here with such a picture leading up the post, but I hope you will indulge me for just a moment or two… Now that my family and I have spent a fun week at Disneyworld (Hey, you’re never too old to be a kid for a few days!) I can sort […]
