Fathers Day…Year #1.
WOW. I can't believe I'm celebrating this day. I want to say up front I love my father. He is a good man, with a great heart. Every year on father’s day it seemed that I was gone to some kind of camp, retreat...ect. I never really thought much about Fathers/Mothers day until I became a father myself. Both Fathers & Mothers day are huge days, and as we celebrated Fathers day I want to say thank you to my dad who has given his life and most of the time the things he enjoyed to provide...
what are they hearing from you? AFFIRMATION?
Doug and MattMonday, June 14, 2010 There is NO DOUBT that God works through us to make a real difference in the world. What an incredible thought! But, since God doesn’t need us to build his kingdom, why do you think he does work through us? We believe that God works through us because he is also working in us to become more like Jesus. That’s what it’s all about--loving God and loving others so they can love God. As youth workers, one of our greatest privileges is to work alongside the Holy...
HE IS AWESOME…HIS CHURCH SHOULD BE AS WELL!
This is an awesome blog post by pastor Perry Noble in Anderson SC www.perrynoble.com check out his site! The temple I am going to build will be great, because our God is greater than all other gods. 2 Chronicles 2:5 Solomon had a vision…it was to build someone to show the world that his God was different, that He was greater and more powerful than any other “god” on the planet. Honestly, I believe church leaders should have THAT SAME PASSION…to work as hard as we can to build a work that...
I'm amazed!

A few sermons I watched this past week…..
Now that I'm sitting at home all day with my son I have a lot of free time to read, watch and listen to some sermons...Some sermons are amazing, some sermons you wonder why that person is even in the ministry and other sermons you wonder what they are even trying to talk about..All in all it's been a very interesting week with some very interesting sermons. Here are just a few: #1. Louie Giglio: Hope (8:31) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmJOko2Tygg] #2. Francis Chan - Balance Beam...

Being Mr. Mom:
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PokBAxtvW4&feature=PlayList&p=6E3881923A3B1840&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=3] It's amazing to me how life has changed so much in just 2 months! Now that Kym is having to go to work everyday and I'm staying at home with the little man, I'm learning ALOT about being Mr. Mom! One of those things is how drastically a kid can and will change your life! Here is the actual play by play for the past 24 hour stint as Mr. Mom. 9:45pm 5...
Revelation song:
Revelation 5:11-12 (New International Version) 11Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. 12In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"

Still on the "Be Still" kick

Be Still and know that I am God:
God wants us to build times and places of stillness into our lives in order that we might know Him and the fullness of His peace, power and purposes for our lives: Why are we afraid of "stillness" Frankly stillness scares us just a littel; quietness tends to be unsettelling to us so we do our best to avoid it..Filling every area of our lives from the moment we wake up with alarm clocks...right into the shower were I turn the radio on..to getting dresses with the TV on...to the car where I...
Few videos I've been blessed by today:
Oh how He loves us: Kim Walker [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GFIJXWXiyI&feature=related] True Love: Phil Wickham [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQjxSjkIXWA] God of this city: Chris Tomlin [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d61LamkXfwk&feature=fvw]
Prayer:
Often times, life becomes really heavy. The weight of the world can seem too much for us to bear. What we must remember is at the Cross, Jesus took all our sin and pain upon himself and three days later, he rose from the grave, defeating it once and for all. This season, take all that you carry to Jesus; He is waiting for you at the Cross. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdq9Q8wJdjc]
The Almost – Your Love Is Extravagant
Kym and I have found out that when my son starts screaming or will not go to sleep...We take him into the Nursery and put this song on and he calms down so fast..Love the message in this song! Thank you Lord for your love! Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ...
Some Facts:
I'm not sure what web site or book I found these in, But I'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find them.. If you do find them please let me know so I can give them credit.I know some folks are in the habit of finding stuff for people, So I'm putting it in your hands... About 5 years ago when I was the Youth pastor @ "The Bridge" I did a 6 week series called..." Let the facts speak for themselves" Talking about the Miracles Jesus did while He walked this earthto prove that He was...
Never Know what you might find:
In may of 2004 I heard this message preached at Temple Baptist church in Chattanooga Tn, it was not Bro Ken it was a guest speaker, but I can't for the life of me remember who it was... oh well. Being that I've cleaned out my office at the church...my office is now set up in my garage! And I’ve found stuff that I haven't seen in years from boxes that I haven't opened in years. In one of those boxes was a notebook of sermon notes that I have heard preached over the years...This sermon is called...
