First Lubbock Sermons

Whether it is a full engagement of the political processes that govern a nation, or a fearful withdrawal from the established structures of society, either is a departure from the biblical and strategic intent for the people of God.

#SubversiveIntent

Comfortable, manageable, predictable; these are words that most frighten me in the life of faith, because it’s only in the discomforting, unfamiliar situations, and unpredictable ends, that we grow in life and faith.

#OnTheWayToNotKnowing

Don’t get comfortable! Being a commissioned people means we have been sent out from a place from which we were never intended to stay.

#GoInDiscomfort

It defines you, it determines everything you do, it is how everyone sees you and perceives you to be, it is the one thing that must be resolved in your life.

#ResolvingIt

Only by wanting more than you want right now is it possible to be a follower of Christ.

#WantMore

#Participate

#SecretEscape

Peace is what we want but anxiety is what we experience. How do we flip the script?
