Crossbridge Springs

12 years ago, I stood on this very platform as a pastor, and as a father, baptizing my daughter and dedicating her life to Christ. This past Sunday, I stood in the same place with a deeper joy, holding my granddaughter in my arms as we baptized her. #humbled #love #baptism

The only way we can step out into the wilderness with confidence is knowing we have a Heavenly Father who sets His affection on us and accepts us because of His infinite regard for His son Jesus. #sermonprep #beloved #jesus #miamisprings #miami #GodLovesMeThisIKnow – at Palmetto Estates, FL

We can only preserve and illuminate a decaying and dark world BECAUSE Jesus was trampled like worthless salt for it. It’s BECAUSE He faced the worst kind of darkness on the Cross that we can become a city on a hill. #SermonPrep #KingdomHearts #LightUpTheLOVE #SaltLife – at Palmetto Estates, FL

If we truly understand Jesus’ final words on the cross then it’s no surprise that in light of conflict surrounding his people his first words after the resurrection were “Peace be with you”. #salvation #KingdomHearts #BlessedPeace #Resurrection #EasterSunday – at Palmetto Estates, FL

Jesus entered our world and went to the broken, the rejected, the throw aways, and told them they were loved. Now He calls us to do the same not by demanding it from us but by bowing down and washing our feet. #MaundyThursday #KingdomCulture #JesusPaidItAll – at Palmetto Estates, FL

When we offer our divided hearts to Christ, we offer it with the hope that He alone can give it back to us whole and truly cleansed from all unrighteousness. #kindgomhearts #kingdomculture #sermonprep #jesus #gospel – at Lakeland, FL

God has given us mercy so that we would see overflowing grace and perfect patience at work in our own lives so we can then share that same hope for the salvation of other people. #SermonPrep #BlessedAreTheMerciful #KingdomHearts #KingdomCulture – at Palmetto Estates, FL

Deep and lasting satisfaction for our souls only comes from God to those whose passion in life is to know Him in the struggle to be like Him in the world. #SermonPrep #Hunger #Thirst #Righteousness #KingdomHearts #KingdomCulture – at Miami Springs, FL

The meaning of meekness is power under control and centered on eternal purposes. Only those that have their spirits bridled by Jesus will inherit all things. #sermonprep #kingdomhearts #kingdomculture – at Miami Springs, FL

To be truly comforted is not something we can do but only something Christ can give. The deeper we believe that He’s removed the ultimate cause of our sadness, the more blessed we become. #KingdomCulture #BlessedFriday #KingdomHearts

Pride must die in us if anything of heaven is to live within us. #sermonprep #kingdomculture

Whenever there's something in life that you cannot change, it's because it's meant to change you. And sometimes the greatest good God will do through a "changed you" will be in someone else's life, and not your own. #providence #overcome #sermonprep #forgiveness

In order to stir our conscience, God will always bring us to a place of need where we feel the effect of lack and of a life that’s simply unsatisfying. ~ Luke 15:14-17 #sermonprep #overcome #noGuiltInLife

True success and progress is not about where you are in life. It’s about whether or not “God is with you” where you are in life. #sermonprep #overcome #providence

The blessing that comes from our heavenly Father’s “No”, will always exceed any comfort that comes from our heavenly Father’s “Yes”. #sermonprep #overcome #providence

Another 5th Sunday celebration!! To Him all majesty ascribe as we join the everlasting song! #OneChurch
