On last Sunday we examined the office of an elder.

Every 1st Wednesday we have a singing and praying service in which we sing some favorites, learn some new ones, read Psalms, and pray to God! It was recorded this past week and I thought I would share. This week was so good that we kept singing well after the dismissal prayer! All songs are not included but here are some of what you missed if you were not here on this past Wednesday!

Some words make us very nervous. Among the world’s most nerve-racking words are the simple little words, “all” and “every.” Whenever someone dares use such words, objectors are quick to offer possible exceptions, so as to take the edge off these words. So if someone says, “Every church needs elders,” there are bound to be people who object. That’s why I pray you’ll not object too quickly and you’ll let me explain why every church needs elders.

In this sermon we take a look at ourselves and see what God sees. Have our lives caused us to be in a distraught and destitute position? Do we have a way to salvation after this life? Are we in a situation that we cannot get ourselves out of? Or are we overly focused on things that don’t matter and miss what is really important? Jesus can fix all of that and more! We have become slaves to the conditions we have created, only God through Jesus can set us free!

We can try as hard as we may but we do NOT have the power to grant immediate freedom! But God does! God through Jesus grants a woman IMMEDIATE freedom upon the proclamation of Jesus in Luke 13:10-17!

3rd picnic! Let’s celebrate!

This week we ask the question “What if we were known for what Snapchat was known for?”. How would we be looked upon by our brothers and sisters? How would those who don’t believe in Christ look at us? How would we view ourselves? And most importantly how would God see us? How bad is sexual immorality?

What if you were your favorite social media platform? What if you portrayed the characteristics it was most known for or what it causes? How then would God see you?

“When you feel so mad that you want to roar! Take a deep breath and count to four!” 

In the month of June I was invited by the Crestview Church of Christ in Temple and their minister Carlos Davis to speak at their annual Homecoming and Gospel Meeting. The theme was “Freedom in Christ” and I was given the topic of “In God We Trust”. Please enjoy the message from the word of God.

In our 6th week the sermon series continued at the Western Hills Church of Christ. Lane Luttrell brought a message from God inspired by the Marvin Gaye Classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". Take a listen and enjoy!

On the 5th week of this sermon series Bro. J.K. Hamilton of the Mountain View Church of Christ blessed us with his message inspired by the Bee Gee’s song “How Deep Is Your Love”. It challenges us as Christians to take an inward look at our love and how it is shown.

In our culture today as Christians we could all use a little FOCUS! We exist in a culture enamored by distractions. We cannot see that we are citizens of heaven because priority belongs to being citizens of the U.S.A. We cannot hear wisdom because the chimes of our texts and emails. We cannot understand the word of God because we are in a frenzy caused by fear of current events! If we’re being honest with ourselves our focus is a off!
