God loves you because He has chosen to do so.

I think there is a time, if I can say this; there is a time in a message where you might just tell a story to give your audience a break.

When you're full of yourself, God can't fill you. But when you empty yourself, God has a useful vessel.

My co-pastor is Randy Frazee. Randy is the brightest bulb in this box. He really has a feeling for what a church needs in terms of maturity, so I listen to him.

You may not be down to your final heartbeat, but you may be down to your last paycheck, solution, or thimble of faith. Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear.

Some people find the gift of salvation. For others the gifts are smaller: a kind word, a good deed. But all the gifts are from God.

Since you know God understands, you can boldly go to him.
