friday team sunday
Usually I'm able to prepare a message about two to three weeks in advance.I know some preachers don't like that. They want to be finishing it on Friday before they preach it on Sunday, but our worship team really likes me to get it done way in advance.
full-of-yourself
God can't fill you when you are already full of yourself.
friday pain heart
No matter what the storm clouds bring, you can face your pain with courage and hope. For two thousand years ago-six hours, one Friday-Christ firmly planted in bedrock three solid anchor points that we can all cling to. For the heart scarred with futility, that Friday holds purpose. For the life blackened with failure, that Friday holds forgiveness. And for the soul looking into the tunnel of death, that Friday holds deliverance.
affection
To the loved, a word of affection is a morsel; but to the love-starved, a word of affection can be a feast.
mercy steadfast savior
Our God is abundant in love and steadfast in mercy. He saves us, not because we trust in a symbol, but because we trust in a Savior.
friday jesus decision
On the eve of the cross, Jesus made his decision. He would rather go to hell for you than go to heaven without you.
volunteer movement enough
Each one of us should lead a life stirring enough to start a movement.
bitterness hunters snares
Bitterness is the trap that snares the hunter
define-you
Let your failures refine you, not define you.
masterpiece happens
God sees in you a masterpiece about to happen
refined defined
Don't be defined by your failures, be refined by them.
greatest-gifts
God's present is his presence. His greatest gift is himself.
transition next receiving
If we can understand that death is not the end but is really a transition into the next life, the great part of life, that frees us up into receiving God's courage and his help.
bridges understanding needs
When you teach on a familiar text, you're capitalizing on common knowledge. When you teach on an unfamiliar text, you're having to build a bridge of understanding, and we need to do that as well.
