Remember: Communion

Series : Remember
Scripture : Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29

Taking Communion has become routine in the church today. We need to remember the deeper meaning of this practice each time we take it. When we do; we grow, we become more obedient, and we celebrate what the Lord has done in our lives. We do so by looking inward, looking back, and looking ahead.

Bringing People to the Cross

Leadership Community

The Baldhead Blog Future

As I look at my blog, I realized that I have not posted regular thoughts and ponderings. There is a lot of my sermons and I am excited to post these and will continue to do so. I had a thought yesterday as I was driving to a meeting with other pastors that are in the process of making "adjustments" in their communities of Faith to become more effective with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The thought was this - I will be posting more thoughts about a wide variety of things, but will do so via video. So The Baldhead Blog will have video's of random thoughts, my sermons, and written thoughts as well. Of course all these will be linked to facebook and twitter (you can check them out on the links below). I am extremely excited and have already started a log of idea's to video and write. My prayer is that these will make us think, seek the Lord more, become better leaders, and become more committed and passionate followers of Jesus Christ. Look out future - here we come.

The Kingdom

Series : God Is Closer Than You Think (sermon #6)
Scripture : Various

As followers of Jesus, we often think that the Kingdom of Heaven is on our future as we pass from this life to the next. The reality is that the Kingdom of Heaven is right here and now and we have to live our lives accordingly. 


Notes

The People

Series : God Is Closer Than You Think
Scripture : 1 Thessalonians 5:11-24

We need each other as we grow in Jesus. The Christian life was not meant to live out alone. No man is an island or a lone ranger - we need each other in this journey. 


Notes


The Voice

Series : God Is Closer Than You Think (sermon #4)
Scripture : Luke 8:9-21

We can look at the parable of the sower and see that each type of ground represents parts of our heart today. God is speaking, but we need to listen with our hearts so we can shine God's light into every area so our whole heart can be a willing heart.
