We are in-between sermon series at New Passion, so yesterday I did a solo message on the Attitude of Gratitude. Generic, I know.
However, the title is all telling. I believe when we are grateful, it changes our attitude towards God and towards other people. I shared at the end of the message a list of [...]

Oh how things change!
I wonder where I’ll be in 14 years….what New Passion will look like?
Could You Sign This?
Saturday I went to the Fight Club X Conference put on by the Acts 29 Network. The opening speaker was Dr. Samuel Thomas, President of Hopegivers International, an organization that rescues orphans and at-risk children in India and provides food, shelter, education and training to share the Gospel throughout the country. Dr. [...]
I saw the video this morning for ESPN’s My Wish series (embedded below). It featured a wish by 15 year old Jeffrey Buzzell, Jr., who is suffering from Alport’s Syndrome.
In ESPN fashion the story is very touching and very good. Jeffrey’s wish was to race go-karts with Dale Earnhardt Jr.; he got more than his [...]
I was happy when the Lebron James decision came last night. I couldn’t even turn on the news without seeing a report about it or being told to go to their website to answer their poll on where I thought he would go. Now, here I am diving into the conversation. Just to get [...]

I absolutely loved this message by Craig Groeschel that we at New Passion opened our One Prayer series with this past Sunday. It’s called “Unstoppable Courage” and it hits home because I have some friends right now who are staring some Lions in the face and they are either going to have to decide to [...]
I saw this lady that I know in Wal-Mart tonight.
She was with a new man. That’s nothing new.
I see people all the time who I haven’t seen in a while who didn’t make it with their spouse.
However, this lady is different.
There was a short stint in my life where I had to sell cars to [...]
“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
I’m not one to shy away from a debate on politics. I never let politics trump my faith and the Gospel, and I never use my platform as a pastor to share my view on politics or [...]
