Here’s my communion thought for this past weekend: Where is your focus? About a month ago I completed a really long fast. That was the longest fast I had ever done in my entire life. It was not fun every day and it was honestly one of the toughest things I have ever done in [...]

So today is the last day of my 40 day fast. I am getting ready to go to Waffle House at midnight to break my fast in about 3 hours and it’s going to be incredible! Though I probably won’t be able to eat much, that’s okay. And no, I have never done a 40 [...]
Bo, No matter what you go through, I’m right here for you. I got your back. You love me and my Son which means I love you more than your tiny, little brain can understand. Keep your eyes on me and don’t worry about all the other crap going on around you. People have tried [...]

Here’s my communion thought I gave several weeks ago: How many of you have a cross necklace? Let me give you a little history on how the cross was invented. In Roman days, they would have competitions to see who could invent the greatest torture device. Guess which one won? This was a device created [...]
Today, we have access to whatever information that we want. We can get our physical or electronic hands on books, articles, how-to’s, internet resources, blogs, and I could go on forever. The same is true for the church. Well, for those churches not stuck in the 50′s. Take me for instance, I have read ton’s [...]

I got to speak at all three youth services (communion thought, I didn’t preach the actual message) this past weekend. Here’s what I spoke on. I will try to put up some audio of it in a few days. Do you know Him? Some of us in this room may not even know Jesus at [...]
Some “preaching” notes
Posted: 26th December 2009 by Bo in Jesus Stuff, MinistryTags: communion thought, preaching, sermon
Here’s my “notes” for my communion thought I will be giving at one of our Student Ministry services – One day Jesus was preaching to a huge crowd. The crowd was pressing in on Him to listen to Him. Here’s where the story picks up: 3He got into one of the boats, the one belonging [...]
In Acts 19, Paul tells a story about how a group of guys (7 sons of a priest) are attempting to cast an evil spirit out of a guy by invoking the name of Jesus since they heard Paul preach about Jesus. The guy that was possessed by the demon responded to them by saying, [...]
This past Wednesday was the last Sunday that youth will meet on Wednesdays for 2009. I began volunteering this September and am committed to being a youth leader until May of 2010. I have to say that I have had a great experience so far. I have been leading a small group of 10-15 high [...]
