I know that God is always doing a million things and that we are usually only aware of a few of them, but as a pastor, I literally get to see God’s invisible hand working out his plan for his glory and his people’s good every week.

The first words that your resurrected ears will hear are Jesus saying to you something like, arise–come out of that grave!

Death for the Christian is beautiful because it brings us to the place we were made for.

The value of preaching is in Christ himself. His supremacy over all things makes all preaching valuable, whether it’s to 30 or 3,000 people.

When I am closer to Jesus, I am closer to my wife. I mean truly closer to Jesus, in my heart, not just thinking I am closer because I am doing the right things.

Father, help us to see that you are at work through us for the advance of the gospel.
