Turned Inside Out
Have you ever felt like you’ve been turned inside out? These last three days, here in Texas, I’ve been “turned inside out.” There’s something about being exactly where God wants you to be! We, at times, use the term “divine appointments” very loosely. I believe when we’re walking in God’s will, every second should be…
Read More...New Season New Direction
I’m currently in Cedar Hill, Texas, a beautiful community outside of Dallas, at the Love Your City gathering held by Pastor Jim Hennesy of Trinity Church. This conference was not advertised to the public. The guest speakers personally invited those attending. I’m thankful that God used Pat Schatzline, one of America’s top youth evangelist and…
Read More...Do You Have a Poverty Mentality?
I believe in prosperity. I believe in the prosperity Gospel. I’m a prosperity preacher. And if that’s offensive to you then it’s because it’s offensive to your mindset. That’s the only way anyone gets offended. Could it be that your approach and frame of mind is one of poverty? Poverty is not lack. Poverty is…
Read More...World’s Best Seller
This Sunday we begin a new message series. We will attempt to take that which is the most unfathomable and profound and attempt to present it in a simple and uncomplicated manner. This series will be about the Bible. We’ve titled the series, World’s Best Seller. And rightly so, it’s earned that title since Johannes…

I’ve been a Florida State Seminole fan since I was in the 6th grade – I guess that would be most of my life. And I must admit, the most exciting college player I’ve ever seen is Tim Tebow. Yeah, I know, Tebow played for our nemesis, the Florida Gators. I must admit the only…
Read More...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WIFE!
Today, I celebrate the birthday of the love of my life. I really don’t know where I would be without her! I can truly say that I am in love with her more today than I was almost twenty-one years ago when I said, “I do.” As a pastor, I get to observe the lives…
Read More...SELF-CONTROL
A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls. Proverbs 25:28 Our daily Morning Prayer meetings usually have a Spirit-led theme. When I awake the Holy Spirit usually leads me to a specific subject matter that requires prayer and intercession. This morning we prayed for and concerning self-control. Spirit-led self-control…
Read More...got questions?
We’re implementing a new method in our teaching and preaching ministry at Impact Church. The Sundays that fall between message series, we’ll employ a “got questions?” message. In the “got guestions?” message, we’ll try to answer all the questions submitted to us via the connection cards on Sunday mornings. I’m pretty sure many of these…
Read More...Yes, It’s Free!!
I’m super excited about our church-wide outreach this Saturday. We will cause a stir in the community as we impact hundreds of people by giving them a FREE car wash, pizza and drinks. Our attempt is to have a captured audience under a tent waiting while we wash their vehicles. Meanwhile, we’ll serve them pizza,…
Read More...RED SEA MOMENTS
Ever had a “Red Sea” moment? A “Red Sea” moment is when you have your back against a seeming devastation, all the while facing an aggressive force that desires to bring much damage to you. After reading the story of the Israelites and Moses during their exodus from Egypt, I realized something…God led them there! That’s…
