This morning I had the honor of kicking off the high school weekend sermon series of “Why do bad things happen to good people?” with a sermon I called “Who is good?” At first blush it could have seemed very negative but the students were zoned in and 5 of them accepted Jesus at the [...]

Tonight I preached to the high school kids to close out our Hot Topics series. I preached on Divorce and I was pretty transparent. An invitation was offered at the end and 6 kids accepted Christ! Thank you Jesus!
Have you ever been so convicted in your life that you know that life just isn’t right until it gets straightened out? This is pretty much the way I feel right now. It’s what I’m living every day right now. My conviction and challenge is to be fulfilled by Christ. I know in my head [...]
Where is your focus?

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 [...]

After being in seminary for almost a full semester, I have a list of a few things that I am experiencing in ministry that I wish were taught in seminary: How to help out a kid whose dad just killed himself How to preach on finances How to help someone who has a porn addiction [...]
The Cross of Christ

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 [...]
Do you know Him?

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 [...]
