Mark 3 Have you ever felt completely alone and misunderstood? It means a lot to be connected, to be known by others. As humans, it’s one of our basic needs—to be known, to be understood. It gives us a sense of self-worth and identity. It helps us feel connected to one another. I have been [...]

Micah 6:8   8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? This is one of my favorite verses in all of Scripture. For me, it’s because we all want to know [...]

This past week I’ve been preparing a message for Palm Sunday. As I was studying, I came across some interesting contrasts in Mark 10 and 11. I’m not going to go through all of them but in Mark 10:35-45 James and John make a bold request. They wanted to sit at the right and left [...]

I’m the son of a Preacher man. I’ve been in church my whole life. I’ve had the amazing blessing of being in ministry for over 10 years now. One of the things that breaks my heart is when so-called Christians hinder others from coming to Christ instead of bringing them to Christ. I’ve noticed, this [...]

As a Pastor, one of the things that I’m constantly talking with people about is God’s will for our lives. I’ve never ran across a Believer who doesn’t want to know what God’s desire for their life is. I’d like to take moment and share with you some helpful ways to discern the will of [...]

Vintage JESUS Over the next few months, I will be posting devotionals over the Gospel of Mark. My hope and prayer is that through these devotionals we will gain a better understanding of who Jesus was and what he came to do. In short, I want us to come face to face with the Vintage [...]

This week at Grace Church we are starting a brand new series called ‘Relationship 101’. The first week we are looking at ‘ManUP’, which is going to be a very challenging call for men to love like Jesus. The next week, we’ll look at what it means for wives to respect their husbands. This week’s [...]

Abiding One of my favorite things in life right now is the way my daughter snuggles with me. Yeah, I know I’m a softie. I can’t help it! And I can assure you, I haven’t always been this sympathetic! It’s funny how the Lord uses a baby girl to soften your heart! Recently, we’ve stopped [...]

What’s the greatest gift you’ve ever received? I’m not talking about your kids, spouse or even salvation itself…hopefully those are a given. I’m talking about the greatest present you’ve ever received. Over the years, I’ve had some pretty awesome gifts. Four-wheelers, which I wrecked, bikes, which I also wrecked, remote control airplanes, which, wait for [...]
