Talking about Sin

January 16, 2017January 16, 2017 / Scott McCown / Leave a comment

I asked J Hall and Will Sharp (my co-workers) to sit down and talk with me about our word from last week - SIN.  J is the Youth Minister at Central and Will is the Campus Minister. Here is a video of our discussion about . . . SIN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB-ud81zoxE

Sin #onewordstudy

January 13, 2017 / Scott McCown / 4 Comments

At Central Church of Christ we are participating in a One Word Study as a basis for our sermons on Sundays. Each week we look at one word. So far, starting on December 25, 2016 we studied: "Word," "Beginnings," and "Creation." This Sunday we complete a week long study of "Sin." Sin. Maybe this is more about me than … Continue reading Sin #onewordstudy

Sinner’s Anonymous

October 18, 2016October 18, 2016 / Scott McCown / Leave a comment

When I was a much younger minister, a young person I attempted to help spiritually, had a battle with an addiction. This young adult tried to fight their addiction, but ended up needing help, beyond what I or the church leaders could provide. With their parent's guidance and the help of local counselors they checked … Continue reading Sinner’s Anonymous

Avoiding Sin

July 20, 2016July 20, 2016 / Scott McCown / Leave a comment

Thirty years ago I was in my first internship as a minister, during the summer of 1986 between my Freshman and Sophomore years at Faulkner. I suppose I am thinking about this since Andrew is about to start his Sophomore year at Faulkner and Amy had lunch with someone with ties to Camp Wetoga and a … Continue reading Avoiding Sin

Clarity

April 7, 2016April 7, 2016 / Scott McCown / Leave a comment

This morning on the way to the study, I drove through fog. That is somewhat of an understatement. Had I a net, I might have caught a few fish swimming across the highway. The fog was thick when I pulled out of the subdivision onto the highway, I could not see very far. The first … Continue reading Clarity

Five Things

March 7, 2016 / Scott McCown / Leave a comment

Sunday evening I presented an old sermon. When I say old sermon, I mean  old.  I heard it when I was a teenager and the preacher that day said he heard it when he was young.  I do not know who first preached this lesson, but they deserve a "thank you." I adapted this lesson from my … Continue reading Five Things

We are at War

January 14, 2016January 14, 2016 / Scott McCown / Leave a comment

Peter writes both succinctly and with astute observation of mankind when he states, "Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which war against your soul." (1 Peter 2:11). "Which war against your soul."  We are in a daily battle. We constantly fight to keep our minds and … Continue reading We are at War

Tempted Much

December 8, 2015 / Scott McCown / Leave a comment

Temptation is a fact of life! There, I said it. The statement is true. We each face opportunities to do what is wrong, and many times we have the desire to see it through. Temptation! Even things that are for good purposes can become a snare toward evil. For instance, the desires that God placed … Continue reading Tempted Much

Satan Provides

October 22, 2015October 22, 2015 / Scott McCown / 4 Comments

A few years ago when I decided I needed to lose weight (truthfully, I am at that point again), I decided to try a high protein - low carb diet for a few days.  After a two days, I was beginning to tell a difference. On day three, a minister friend called and asked about … Continue reading Satan Provides

Our National Problems

September 21, 2015September 21, 2015 / Scott McCown / 2 Comments

Politics, Elections, Primaries, Political Polls, Candidates, issues, Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian, Liberal, Conservative . . .  These are the words that we hear every newscast 24 hours a day / 7 days a week when we have state or national elections every couple of years. Every candidate, every political party, wants to tell you what … Continue reading Our National Problems
