What if you were your favorite social media platform? What if you portrayed the characteristics it was most known for or what it causes? How then would God see you?

“When you feel so mad that you want to roar! Take a deep breath and count to four!” 

In the month of June I was invited by the Crestview Church of Christ in Temple and their minister Carlos Davis to speak at their annual Homecoming and Gospel Meeting. The theme was “Freedom in Christ” and I was given the topic of “In God We Trust”. Please enjoy the message from the word of God.

In our 6th week the sermon series continued at the Western Hills Church of Christ. Lane Luttrell brought a message from God inspired by the Marvin Gaye Classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". Take a listen and enjoy!

On the 5th week of this sermon series Bro. J.K. Hamilton of the Mountain View Church of Christ blessed us with his message inspired by the Bee Gee’s song “How Deep Is Your Love”. It challenges us as Christians to take an inward look at our love and how it is shown.

In our culture today as Christians we could all use a little FOCUS! We exist in a culture enamored by distractions. We cannot see that we are citizens of heaven because priority belongs to being citizens of the U.S.A. We cannot hear wisdom because the chimes of our texts and emails. We cannot understand the word of God because we are in a frenzy caused by fear of current events! If we’re being honest with ourselves our focus is a off!

On this week we take the theme from camp and mix it with our July sermon series "At The Movies". We have taken movie titles and pulled a theme or message from the movie and have used it to present a message from God. Today the movie selected was "A Beautiful Mind". We take a look at the second chapter of Philippians where Paul explains the mind of Christ. We also had a wonderful song service on this week and I was asked by Bro. Joshua Williams to share those songs. The mic doesn't always pick up the sound of the audience collectively but everyone was spirit filled on this week and it showed.

On the second week of our At The Movies sermon series we take a look at a very familiar movie, The Lion King. In this sermon we take a look at Daniel in the Lion’s den facing certain death! But because of his courage and faithfulness as a child of God he has nothing to worry about as the king of lion’s keeps their mouths shut! What has God protected you from?

Uplifting news alert!

It's dark, your vision is impaired, stability is in question, and you're unsure of when it will end.  Many of us have experience driving in heavy rain on the highway.  I travel back and forth to school from Temple to A.G.S.T and a couple of months back I was truly terrified!  On my way back one evening I drove into a thunderstorm.  Everything became black as night and the roads began to change as if I were driving on top of a body of water.  The car was moving side to side because of the wind and no matter how high the windshield wipers were turned up my vision was impaired.  The only thing that I could make out were the hazard lights of those in front of me and the strips on the road.  Those strips illuminated the path that I had to stay on.  I prayed and I asked God to bless me to make it through.  Now that I had prayed it was time for me to do my part.  I slowed down so that I could maneuver the car in case I lost track to regain it, I turned on my high beams in order to see the strips on the road so that I could stay in my lane, and I slowly proceeded with caution.  Usually on a clear day I would zip back to Temple now that the speed limit is 75 but today I had to be content that I was safe and take my time going through the storm until I made it through.  Well guess what?!!  I made it through!  And what seemed like an hour was only about 15 minutes! I learned something that day when I faced the toughest storm I had ever driven through.  I couldn't simply speed through the storm because I could kill myself.  I couldn't pray the storm away either.  I had to endure through the storm.  I had to adapt to the storm.  I had to learn to drive and progress, no matter how slowly, through it.  I learned to be patient through the storm because it would eventually be over.  

The singing was so good on the 4th week we went ahead and included it before the sermon. Enjoy the singing and the message of Bro. Walter Williams!

The forgiveness present among humanity is much larger than what we see. We are a part of a larger scheme designed by God.

We have here our fourth sermon in the sermon series titled The Gospel: According to Michael Jackson. In this lesson we use the song by Michael Jackson called “I Want You Back” in order to teach what to do when we decide that we want to be back in relationship with God. God has not left you or forsaken you, it is usually us that leave God and when we are ready to come back God is willing to take us back. Listen up as we finish up our sermon series.
