What the Christ (Messiah) said to Religious Leaders: Should ministry leaders and church leaders pay attention?!? There is no accusation nor is there animosity in this post. As a minister, a Christian leader, a church leader, and especially as one who stands each week to teach and proclaim faith in Christ, this is for me first … Continue reading A Message for Church Leaders

The Christians Greatest – Part III
This week we began our look at three great things that are a part of our walk as Christians. We began Monday with our Greatest Motivation: Love. We continued Tuesday with our Greatest Challenge: Repentance. We conclude this three part series with Our Greatest Duty. That duty is simply to Proclaim Repentance and Remission of … Continue reading The Christians Greatest – Part III
The Christian’s Greatest … Part II
Yesterday we wrote about our Greatest Motivation as Christians. We defined that as LOVE. Today we move on to our Greatest Challenge. Our Greatest Challenge is Repentance. This challenge is not getting others to repent, but our own repentance. Part of the nation of Judah's problem was that they refused to repent, "Run to and fro through the streets … Continue reading The Christian’s Greatest … Part II

That is the topic for the lesson this Sunday Morning, August 30, 2015 at Central Church of Christ. I would love for you to worship with us. Below is a sneak peak at the sermon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB-AWGKTUz0 Scott
Our Duty to Each Other
When I was a teenager, back before cellphones. Back when only the wealthy had CD players in their cars. I would travel with my youth group to youth days and youth rallies at churches in South Alabama and Northwest Florida. One sermon title I remember was, "The Dirty Little 'D' Word" -- the word - … Continue reading Our Duty to Each Other

I am a minister, a preacher, a Christian who shares what he learns from his study with an audience of people - what we typically call the church. I try to regularly preach through the Bible - both Old and New … Continue reading Who is Jesus? Really?!?
From my Heart
Today, this morning, I am simply writing what I am thinking. I am not sure how this will come across. Friends, I am hurting! Tears are literally welling up in my eyes as I am thinking. It pains me deeply to say what I am about to say. There is a certain reality that hits … Continue reading From my Heart
Even More on Prayer
Prayer! Prayer is so much more than saying a few words with our heads bowed and hands folded. Prayer involves our entire concept of God. Prayer connects deeply to our faith. Our life as a child of God is to be a life of prayer. Prayer is not simply an emergency line to God, although He … Continue reading Even More on Prayer
Jesus and Prayer
We continue our Tuesday study of prayer but looking to Jesus and His prayer life. John records, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. … Continue reading Jesus and Prayer
A Greatest Habit
As I am writing this lesson Pandora Radio is playing my Gordon Lightfoot Channel. The song playing is American Pie by Don McLean. This eight and a half minute song hit number one in 1971. It is a song inspired by the death of Buddy Holly. Some consider this song to be one of … Continue reading A Greatest Habit
