What a Glorious Day

I've been reading Malachi this week. Malachi is such an awesome and challenging book in so many ways. I love it. Im finishing up with Malachi 4 which talks about the Lords return. A message that should be broadcast to the world!  Jesus Christ has come to a fallen world to have a relationship with you and I. He longs for that. He is just waiting. He died for the sins of mankind so that we might be restored to a right standing with Him. The Bible says He is coming back for a spotless bride. The signs are all around us. Those who have put there trust and faith in Him will be saved and will live forever in eternity with Him. What an awesome message of hope and forgiveness! 

As a Worship Pastor at Free Chapel, my goal is to proclaim the greatness of Jesus Christ. To sing of His great love, His mercy, His grace, and forgiveness. To proclaim hope and inspire lives to live fully for His glory. It's not about me....and thank goodness because I would totally screw things up. But it is all about and always will be about Him. I can't wait to sing for all eternity to the One who saved my life!

Back in Texas!

My wife and I had a great time during our holiday break. We flew to Charlotte and spent time with her family in Asheboro, NC and drove to WV too see mine and drove to MD to see some close friends. It was great. We are glad to be back in Austin. Service was great on Sunday and the band did a great job. The sound was good. Jeremy delivered a great message from the book of Malachi. We have started a 21 day time of prayer and fasting. I must say it is challenging to deny your flesh of things you love. People that know me know that I love sweet tea, Starbucks, and the occasional blue Monster drink. But I believe that this will be a great time for God to speak and to move in my life. I desire more of Him and I desire to see God move in our midst and move in the lives of our people at Free Chapel. I don't want to be the same. No way!
