Monieca and I want to say “thank you” to everyone who made Sunday a special day for us. It has been an honor for us to be part of FBC for 30 years and we appreciate every expression of love and kindness we received during Sunday’s celebration. Thank you for every card, comment, gift, smile,… Read More »
A Night of Worship
Thursday night was one of the best Christmas worship experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve attended better concerts and shows, but never a better time of worship to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. Travis Cottrell and his team, along with our worship choir and orchestra, led us praising Jesus. The evening alternated between… Read More »
Live Stream Audience
We recently began Live Streaming both Sunday morning worship services at FBC and people are beginning to watch. On Father’s Day 52 people tuned in live, while another 36 have already viewed the recordings stored on our web site – and it’s only Monday afternoon. Our live audience was 61 on June 4 and 47… Read More »
Kids
Kids are everywhere this week. They’re running, playing, laughing, having fun, learning about Jesus…and I love it. It started Sunday morning when two children made public professions of faith in Jesus as their Savior. It continued Sunday night with the start of Vacation Bible School. More kids showed up this year than were here last… Read More »
Doing Our Part to Change the World
I really enjoyed yesterday – and not just because UK won their NCAA tournament game. What really gave me a great sense of satisfaction was being part of two experiences that reminded me how much our church is doing to change the world. Let me explain. First, Elliot Sneed preached a strong Biblical message on… Read More »
Praying Like Jesus
“It’s hard to put into words what God has done in my heart this weekend” “It was a powerful weekend. I can’t remember when I’ve been so blessed.” “I was convicted because I prayed with my kids a lot when they were little, but not so much now.” “I want my prayers to be more… Read More »
A Special Memory
Brother A. P. was an elderly deacon in my home church when I was a teenager. He faithfully attended services and was known as a prayer warrior. I learned that he prayed for me every day at 1:00 pm. That made me feel good, but at the time I didn’t appreciate it as much as… Read More »
Ordaining a Minister
A lot of us were touched emotionally Sunday afternoon when we watched Bill Crute lay hands on his son, Will, during Will’s ordination to the gospel ministry. I know I was! Even without the sight of a dad participating in his son’s ordination, such services are always special for me. They help me recall my… Read More »
A Sacred Time
The size of the crowd is not always important. Sometimes having more time is more important than having a larger crowd. Such is the case on the Monday night each August when we ordain new deacons. That’s how it was last night when we ordained five new deacons. Don’t get me wrong – I’d love… Read More »
Covered with Prayer
This past weekend Monieca made a quick trip to KY and back so she could check on her parents and see how her mom is adjusting to being in a nursing home. The trip takes more than five hours and takes her through some beautiful mountains. She is more than capable of making the trip… Read More »
