Fishers Of Men
We are called to be fishers of men. There are so many hurting, unsaved people in the world that need Jesus.

We have been called to introduce them to Jesus not Read More
What Are You Known For?
What are you known for? Think about it for a minute. Are you known for being a great parent, a stellar employee/employer, a servant, a peacemaker, joyful, teacher, gracious…. We could go on and on.

A Root of Bitterness
Recently I had the opportunity to serve at a beautiful event! It was a big undertaking and took lots of planning.

We are talking roughly 1,800 church encounters, and that’s not even including a mid-week Read More
Rearview
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV There is an older song by Lecrae called “Tell the World.” Part of it goes like this: “I got the old me in the rearview, now the new me got a clear view… My face Read More
Jesus Understands
Do you ever feel everyone has turned against you? Even some of those closest to you? Jesus understands. When the soldiers came to arrest Jesus after Judas’ betrayal, all of Jesus’ disciples scattered. When He was led away to stand before the high priest, Peter denied he even knew Him three times. In Mark 15, several groups are mentioned that Read More
