Paul says something really big and scary in today’s reading. Something I’m not sure I’d want to say or any of us would want to say. It’s some big words. But, it’s something that we each say, each day of our lives. Listen to what he writes in Philippians 3:17-20: Brothers, join in imitating me, [...]

A Good Life?

Paul tells us in Thessalonians today to live a good life. Gulp. That sounds hard. That sounds like it might be impossible. That sounds like it might be too much. I’m not sure I want to do that. I mean, a good life? Does that mean I have to be perfect? Move to Africa? Do [...]

One of the most powerful scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie was near the end of Saving Private Ryan. Many of you have seen the movie, but for those of you that haven’t, the movie is about a unit of soliders in World War 2 that is sent to save Private Ryan, the only [...]

Do Not Be Afraid

I’ve read the story of Jesus calling the first disciples many times in my life. I’ve preached on it a good many times in my ministry. It’s a story that I feel like I know pretty well. It reads in Luke 5: 8-11 like this: But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at [...]
A Choice

Life is found in interesting places. One of my favorite books of the Bible is Ecclesiastes. In this book, the author seeks to gain every pleasure in life. He seeks after everything he could possible get. At one point he said that he withholds no pleasure from himself. There’s nothing that he desires that he [...]

Jesus was more than just a preacher. He was a friend. He was a companion. He was a teacher. He was a leader. He was a lot of things to the many people that He encountered in His ministry. So, the Bible tells us that Jesus was more than just a preacher. But, part of [...]

As an Ole Miss fan, I don’t get the chance to brag very often on my team. Right now, it’s a lot of holding my head down and avoiding eye contact. One day I may get to.. One day! In our lives, there are lot of things that we brag on. Our teams. Our families. [...]
