DNOW this year was nothing less than LIFE CHANGING.  After coming back from a Small Group leaders retreat with our adults in September, I was convicted to go with the theme of SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES from hearing them share their hearts about their students.  So we went with the title: “because You’re mine, i Walk the Line.”   Continue reading ‘CBSM DiscipleNOW 2009 “i Walk the Line: Walking with Christ thru Spiritual Disciplines”’

Sermon Intro Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zOPmkb7g3U

            I just did the worst thing I’ve ever done as a student pastor!  If you promise to never do it, I’ll tell you about it.  I took three of my students out to eat, and the student I asked to pray for our food was the student who always prays the longest.  So when he started praying, I tapped the other two guys and left him there praying at the table all by himself in his SIX MINUTE PRAYER FOR SUPPER!  It was classically hysterical when he opened his eyes slowly, confusingly looked around, and trying to figure out what may have happened to us.  I felt terrible.  I vowed to those guys that I’d NEVER do that again!

            As we’re concluding our “i Walk the Line” series, I have to remind you what it means.  While our student ministry is growing larger, growing in knowledge, growing in our witness, growing in passion for worship, growing in serving, and growing in giving our lives to live for Christ…the question must be asked, “Are we growing in our walks WITH Christ?”  Are we valuing our time with Him in His Word and prayer MORE?   Continue reading ‘Storyline #66: 2 Chronicles 1-36 “i Walk the Line: because You’re mine”’

CBSM Iron Bowl Champs: AUBURN UNIVERSITY TIGERS!

We had tons of students come out for our CBSM Iron Bowl Event.  Auburn fans sat on one side, Alabama fans sat on the other.  They also coerced (and probably forced) other fans (Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and other stinky teams) to sit on their side.  So we judged them on who had the most on their side (Alabama won that).  Then we judged which side came dressed-up the most for their team (Alabama won that).  Then we judged which team had the craziest fanatic dressed up for their team (Auburn won that – see pic above).  It was definitely the first time I have EVER had a student come to church with no shirt on!  At a boy, Seth.   Then we had a QB competition (since both Bama’s and Auburn’s QBs are horrendous).  We put a girl from each team up in the balcony, and a guy from each team on the stage.  We let them battle it out, and the Auburn tigers tore it up putting them over the edge and securing their victory for the 2009 CBSM Iron Bowl.  So a shoutout and huge props to my Auburn Tiger students who straight up represented last night!!!

CBSM Event: Alabama vs. Auburn Nite (Nov. 18, 2009)

Alabama vs. Auburn is the biggest rivarly round here in these parts.  Everybody knows it around here as the Iron Bowl.  Well we capitalize off of it here at CBSM.  The Wednesday night before the Iron Bowl every year we’re having a little Iron Bowl of our own.  Here’s how we go bout it…

We go off a point system, and the team with the most points…WINS (shocker)!  The two teams can get points by having the most people on their side.  Obviously Alabama fans will sit on one side, Auburn fans will sit on the other side, and they can coerce whoever they want to sit on their side with them (if they’re like a loser Tennessee fan or something).  We will also give points for the best dressed team, and the team with the craziest dressed fanatics.  Live team mascots such as elephants, eagles, and tigers will also win big points!  Continue reading ‘CBSM Event: Alabama vs. Auburn Nite (Nov. 18, 2009)’

Quextions: Q&A Text Messags from 1 Chronicles 1-9

Quexts are when our students text in their questions from the sermon in our last worship service.  So this video is my humble attempt to answer their questions.  Here are the questions:

You said that Gods love never ends. So does God love us in His wrath? 

How do i tell my parents that I’ve been called into full-time ministry?

Am I supposed to break up with my bf/gf if they don’t believe in Jesus? 

What kind of things should I do to prepare myself for the mission field later on in life or even now?

What do I do if I’m a Christian but wont give up worldly things because I’m too scared of what people might think of me? 

Was the ark of the covenant built by man following God’s instructions or completely by God?

Sermon Intro Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zOPmkb7g3U

I fell for it hook, line, and sinker.  I felt like a total loser.  It happened when I was chillin in my recliner one night while watching TV on my new 42” Sharp Aquos flat-screen.  A commercial came on of a sharper, clearer, crisper, more colorful TV.  The picture on that TV practically made mine look black and white.  And then it hit me…I’m viewing that so-called “superior” TV…ON MY OWN TV!  As Americans, we are not thankful; we are lustful.  We love to play the lust game.  Lust is a desire for any sin that is never satisfied, but only made more hungry when fed.  We must learn to be thankful!   Continue reading ‘Storyline #65: 1 Chronicles 10-29 “i Walk the Line: Attitude Adjustment”’
