Have you ever had a dream for something…? Perhaps, a strong desire to do something, or achieve something, or be something? Maybe, the word that you would use to describe that overwhelming feeling you have, is “passion”, or perhaps the word you would use is “calling”? Every one of us, at some point in our […]
As a pastor, the biggest and most common questions I get, oftentimes begins with the 4 words: “How Do I Know…?” What follows is normally a decision making question. One of the biggest “how do I know…” questions is “How do I know which way to go when there seems to be no clear or […]
In all my years of pastoring, the one question that I am asked more than any other question begins with : “How do I know…”. While what follows next is oftentimes different, the question is always the same. The question always boils down to “How do I know which way God wants me to go?” […]
Some of the biggest questions that people constantly ask me as a pastor, all begin with the same words: “How Do I Know…?” Those words are the beginning of questions like “How do I know if I should date this guy or girl? “How do I know if I should take this job?” “How do […]
Have you ever felt like you are praying about something where the situation seems so bleak that there is no way God can answer your prayer…but you are praying nonetheless, even though in your heart you believe it is pointless?
Have you ever wondered if there are some prayers that God answers more than others? Have you ever wondered whether there are some people that God seems to answer their prayers more than He does for yours? If you have encountered a “prayer warrior” or been prayed over by a “prayer warrior”, it would certainly […]
This past week was one for the history books! On Wednesday, we all witnessed something that no one thought would occur in America…at least certainly not in our lifetimes. We saw what easily could have devolved from frustration and insurrection into a coup…and it wasn’t even in 2020. In light of that, what do we […]
Welcome to 2021 and Happy New Year. On Sunday we begin a new series on prayer called “The Thing That Changes Things”. As we begin our 21 days of prayer, we believe that this series will be the start of an incredible prayer life that is beyond your wildest expectations. Join us as we begin […]
On this last Sunday of this most unforgettable year, we wanted to end it the way we started…with a focus on prayer…fact is, God is a relational and a conversational God and He is always speaking with you, and He wants you to talk back to Him. God has so much in store for us, […]
In this week’s Christmas message, we will be looking at Christmas through the eyes of Mary and Joseph. For them, the story as it was unfolding, was not a pretty neat little story. For them, the events surrounding Jesus messed up their plans…So, what do you do when you have your Mary and Joseph moments?… […]
Happy Weekend Before The Weekend Before Christmas! If you are like most people, you are most likely thinking about Christmas and all that comes with it, including gifts…and if you are like most people, you are probably thinking most about gifts for the people in your immediate circle of family and close friends, but what […]
Have you ever seen a mango tree (or pick your favorite fruit tree) that had all these blossoms and blooms on there, only to find out later that the tree produced no fruit? If you have, I think you would agree that it is most disappointing. The reason is that we expect a fruit tree […]
This past Thursday was Thanksgiving, a time we all took a break to give thanks and hopefully, have a big meal, or at least bigger than usual. For those who had a big meal, the chances are great that you are still having leftovers. Well, as long as there are leftovers, it still is the […]
One of the best things about living in South Florida is the weather in the winter. If you haven’t been outside in awhile, take a few moments to go outside, enjoy the low humidity, clean fresh breeze, and inhale a deep breath. I believe that if you actually did that, you will find that it […]
How many of you feel like you need a vacation…a vacation from politics…from conflict-ridden conversations on social justice, coronavirus, lockdowns, the economy…etc.? Well, if you are like me, then you probably do. Today, we have good news for you. While we can’t help you with a physical vacation, this week, we will be taking a […]
Have you ever heard people say “God told me to …” or “God told me that…”? Have you ever wondered “what does that even mean?”. Have you ever read the Bible and seen stuff like “God spoke to him and said…” and wondered to yourself “exactly, how did God speak to him?” The fact is, […]
2020 continues to be “a year for the history books”. Between the global pandemic, the economic shutdown, and the social unrest, this year has been filled with “I can’t believe that’s…”. One area that also fits in that category is the political division in this country. This division has also spilled over into the church. […]
During these elections times, we have all heard conspiracy theories. I know I have heard conspiracy theories about the vaccine, about our world currencies, about deep state agendas, about satanic pedophiles, and the list goes on and on. One common theme in so many of them are predictions about the end times, 666, the Antichrist, […]
We are living in a culture that is constantly forcing us to compromise our beliefs by pressuring us to conform to it’s ideals. As followers of Jesus, we are encouraged to stand firm against the pressures of this world. How do we stand firm? Daniel provides us with a great example. In his life, he […]
No matter where you grew up, I am willing to bet that you have heard many wise sayings and proverbs, especially from older people. If you are also anything like me, when you were growing up, you had no idea what many of those sayings meant. For me, growing up in Jamaica, I heard many […]
With all the craziness going on in our politics, the seemingly never-ending social unrest, and just the state of the country, do you ever wonder what is God saying in all of this? For the past few weeks, we have been looking at the life of Daniel, as outlined in the book of Daniel, and […]
Have you ever thought about the decisions that you make, and the reasons why you make those decisions? The fact is, all of us come to different points in our lives where we are at a crossroad and faced with a decision…. do we go left, right, or do we continue following the same path? […]
This Sunday, we start a new sermon series called “Stand Firm”. In a world that is constantly challenging us to compromise, it can be increasingly hard to stand firm. In this series, we will be looking at the life of Daniel and learning from his example how we can stand firm in a culture of […]
Have you ever lost your focus on something that was very important? You know what you needed to do but somewhere, somehow, you lost your focus on the right thing, and before you know it, you were headed in the wrong direction, doing the wrong things, or acting in the wrong way — all because […]
Have you ever come to a point in your life when following Jesus’ example, teachings, or his path seemed to be inconvenient or just plain pointless? What do you do when following Jesus doesn’t really seem like it is making your life or your situation better?
There are 57K titles on Amazon with the word “leader” in the title. With so many books on management and leadership, it is easy to wonder what’s in all those books. The fact is every every tip, every technique, every management strategy, every good advice about effective leadership has a common basis, and that can […]
How many times have you ever been offered something that is free, except that when you get it, it is actually not free…there are some strings attached? How many times have you bought something…and in order to take advantage of it, you had to acknowledge the fine print? The same is true with following Jesus. […]
Everyone loves a good movie. While your idea of a good movie may differ in some ways from those of your friends, parents, kids, and anyone you have a relationship with, there is a common characteristic that we can all agree that every good movie has. This is true despite the genre of the movie. […]
Think about this statement for a few moments: “you are being pursued to follow”. The fact is, that is really the reason why Jesus came. He pursued us so that we can pursue him. Calvin McBridge discusses how to truly pursue a Kingdom agenda in Part 2 in the series “Follow.”
