During the last three Sundays of November, I am sharing a three message series on the church. In this series of messages, I have dealt with some of the key questions that people have about church life today: What is the church? Is it still important to attend church in today’s digital world? Why shouldContinue reading “Important message series”

Simple faith is saving faith
Each year I read through the Bible, and my reading this morning was in the book of Acts. Even though I have read it probably hundreds of times over the years, the power of this passage really spoke to me today… “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and theContinue reading “Simple faith is saving faith”
Two indispensable ingredients of leadership
Leadership is needed in all areas of life. Leadership is needed in our homes, in our companies, on our sports teams, etc. Leadership is needed in the church. Leadership is needed in government and civic organizations. In fact, many of the issues that we face today can be traced to a lack of good leadership.Continue reading “Two indispensable ingredients of leadership”
Christians & Election Day
Today is election day across America. In addition to thousands of local and statewide raises, one-third of the Senate and the entire House of Representatives will be elected today. It is certainly an extremely significant day in the life of our nation. In my opinion, there are Christians who take equally unhealthy positions when itContinue reading “Christians & Election Day”
Jesus is Lord over Halloween
As a kid growing up on Sand Mountain, Halloween was always a fun time.

For instance, Chalmer and Verma Chloe WatkinsContinue reading “Jesus is Lord over Halloween”

Recently, I listened to his podcast on the vitalContinue reading “The critical issue of alignment”

They have taken many forms, depending on the church and community context. If you don’t attend Lakeside where I serve, yourContinue reading “Why a Fall Festival is a good investment for your church”
Answered Prayer
“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” (1 John 5:14–15, NKJV) Today, God answered a prayerContinue reading “Answered Prayer”
I love Lakeside
On Monday, October 14, 2013 I walked into the offices of Lakeside Baptist Church for my first official day as Senior Pastor. It’s been a good first year together as pastor & people. It’s truly a blessing and honor to serve as pastor at Lakeside. Rather than focusing on me, I would just like toContinue reading “I love Lakeside”
Sharing the Gospel
Today is a big day in our state. Why do I say that? Because college students throughout our state (and others) have committed to share the gospel today. That’s BIG. Some college students have been praying for 24 days leading up to this effort. You can learn more here engage24.org and please join me todayContinue reading “Sharing the Gospel”
