Weekend Reflections

March 8, 2010

  • God continues to challenge me through our series through the Sermon on the Mount.
  • I have renewed my “covenant with my eyes” (Job 31:1)!  If you need help in this area, visit www.unshackledministries.org)
  • We must not reduce sexual purity to simply external compliance.
  • Our hearts follow our eyes!
  • Sin is not something to be “treated” it is something to be condemned in our lives.
  • I’m grateful for a church family who loves and sacrifices for teenagers.
  • What a tremendous weekend at our students’ Anchor Down DNOW.
  • Grateful for many decisions made this weekend for salvation & baptism.
  • I’m excited about a new group of prayer warriors who will be praying throughout our sanctuary on Mondays @ 9am.
  • Praying for several of our families who lost loved ones over the weekend.
  • I’m ready for the warmth of Spring to invade the Florida Gulf Coast!
  • I’m excited about Financial Peace University launching March 28th!
  • Looking forward to reading Acts, 1-2 Timothy, & Galatians this week as a part of our New Thru 40 Campaign.

I am blessed to serve as Pastor of the West Bradenton Baptist Church in Bradenton, Florida, since June ’08.  Prior to this role, I served as Pastor to University Students (5 years) and as Pastor to Students (12 years).

I grew up in Bartlett, Tennessee, just outside of Memphis, TN.  The Lord moved powerfully in my life as a freshmen in college regarding an unyielding commitment to Jesus Christ.  I have never regretted that decision!  I graduated from Memphis State University with a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Sociology.  I received my Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.  I am currently praying about beginning my doctoral studies in expository preaching.

My Family

My wife, Nova, and I have been married since June ’93 and we have one daughter, a pug named Lulu, and a border collie/lab mix named Tootsie.

In My Sparetime

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family, golf, reading, home renovations, and cleaning the pool.
