  • To Pray or Prey: 2021 Southern Baptist Convention

    To Pray or Prey: 2021 Southern Baptist Convention

    We walked into the Nashville Music City Center to register for the 2021 Southern Baptist Convention and were met at one intersection by a group all wearing yellow t-shirts and handing out newspaper style reports. At first, I thought they were trolls, present and looking for a fight. After reading their material, I realized that…

  • Project Gospel

    Project Gospel

    Over the course of the last year, I have been honored by several people abroad who have asked me to come speak at pastor’s conferences and local churches—from India to Kenya to Pakistan. Each time I had to decline because I have a local church here in the United States I get to invest my…

  • When Jesus Went To Sin City

    When Jesus Went To Sin City

    I was told by another pastor that the church I pastor is full of horrible people. This other pastor was not wrong. The Church at Sunsites is a local church full of unrighteous people whose only hope is to be clothed in Christ’s righteousness and be sanctified by His Holy Spirit. Really, I pity those…

  • Salvation Through the Jews?

    Salvation Through the Jews?

    Ask your questions at Christoa.com, on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Tumblr. Every so often, I ask a question on Facebook in order to get us thinking about a concept mentioned in Scripture. This time I put the statement, “Salvation is through the Jews. True or false?” I received a myriad of responses including “false,”…

  • People Are Worth More Than Our Expectations

    People Are Worth More Than Our Expectations

    We are in Matthew’s section about Jesus’s teaching on the Kingdom of heaven, particularly about the Sabbath rest we find in Christ alone. What do you think people are worth? Is it more important to maintain some sort of standard and make sure people keep all the rules or to love people where they are…

  • Want to Help Plant Christ-Centered Churches?

    Want to Help Plant Christ-Centered Churches?

    Dear Fellow Pastors, Ministry Leaders, and Christ-centered Christians; I have seen some long hours and many of them over the course of the last month. Many of you have been praying for me and over the church-planting ministry that God has been placing on my heart. As you know, we are already supporting a few…

  • Easter According to Jesus

    Easter According to Jesus

    This week, “Scripture Alone” has been a theme for me as we’ve been walking through Jesus’ Holy Week teachings. It is our goal not to add to, take away from, or twist the words of Christ. We simply want to teach them as they are, correctly explaining and applying the text of Scripture. This is…

  • So, There’s This Weird Thing Called Baptism…

    So, There’s This Weird Thing Called Baptism…

    God’s work is simply awe-inspiring. The last two months in my personal ministry and in my personal growth with our Lord has been truly amazing. I will share a little about that as we get into the text. This will be the second time since the beginning of December that we have been in the…

  • The Forgotten Mission of the Local Church Meeting

    The Forgotten Mission of the Local Church Meeting

    Merry Christmas! This week we will celebrate the biggest holiday in America. People have shopped for presents, told stories about the babe in the manger, watched movies about the Grinch, and many are hearing again from Luke, chapter two, at church this morning. The story of Christ’s birth is miraculous. It is amazing. The whole…

  • Haralding the King, What Evangelism Accomplishes

    Haralding the King, What Evangelism Accomplishes

    What is evangelism and why do we practice it? If God draws people to Himself and if He is the one delivering people and sustaining them, it doesn’t make much sense that we would need to practice evangelism in order to win people for the kingdom. Yet, that is often the phraseology we use, and…
