When parents love Jesus and walk with Him (imperfectly), 82% of their children walk in faith a lifetime. How will you use your time today?.

Around 65% of Gen Alpha will work at jobs that do not now exist. The same principle applies to moral/ethical issues they will face. Because you can’t anticipate all they will face, give them the timeless foundation:. Think like Jesus. Feel like Jesus. Act like Jesus.

My Physical Birth—Fort Worth.(While my dad attended Southwestern Seminary). My Spiritual Birth—Slaton, TX (Suburb of Lubbock). My Physical Death—TBA.(A zero issue). My Spiritual Death—Never Ever.(Eternal life has already begun).

As part of planting a church, my dad bought a surplus World War II barracks. And a big church gave us old pews they were tossing. In the second pew on the left, at age 7, I experienced the miracle of redemption. Holy Ground! All hail, King Jesus!

Even as a child, Jesus passed by men hanging from crosses—naked. As with all His attributes, Jesus’ dignity was infinite. And yet Jesus knew that’s how He would hang—before His mother and perverse soldiers. That helps you know the depth of His redeeming love toward you.

Simple Question:. In what room. at what day and time. do believers in your church. gather specifically to pray. -to complete the Great Commission.-to see a spiritual awakening .-to pray against the monster who is killing, aborting, and trafficking the young?.

Satan, to his minions: “I see signs our end is near, so our strategy changes. I’m done with ‘angel of light,’ hiding in shadows. Now I don’t care if they know it’s me. We’ll kill, abuse, and destroy with all our might. Concerted prayer can stop us, but I see little of that.”.

Tell the Teenagers:. Someday you may successfully lead thousands or a handful. But the most difficult person you will ever supervise is you. You will often disobey you. Only Hope: Daily, die more to self. Then ask your King to come and live HIS powerful life through you.

Your church dedicates a new sanctuary. But you discover shoddy materials were used—and thus there will be problems. You seek to build a great congregation. But you discover shoddy materials (weak families) will mean there will always be problems. Build great families first.

At Henderson Hills Baptist yesterday …. After preaching and teaching AM and PM, hundreds of parents prayed over their children & teenagers. Then the young prayed over their parents. Parents awakened more to King Jesus + passing that through heart connections = Lifetime Faith!.

Luke LeFevre, a Gen Z leader/author:. “We are not causing this [early signs of awakening]. We are reaping a harvest, we did not sow.”. “This has been plowed by the leaders before us, by the prayers of generations that have come before us.”. Are YOU praying for revival?.

Do you hope to turn the big ship of your church … to embrace a family equipping model of church life?. The first step is NOT leading families to understand and adopt a new philosophy. The first step is leading parents (especially dads) to return to their First Love in Jesus.

My AM worship—in our living room. In my mind’s eye, I see an elevated throne—with steps leading up to it. Standing before the throne, my eyes are even with the King’s footstool. Why see Him enthroned? So prayers won’t be all about me. “Worship at his footstool” (Ps 99:5).

"The gospel is the true story about how Jesus became the victorious, saving king.” Matthew W. Bates. “The kingdom gospel requires believing that Jesus is the King, which results in repentance and turning from running our own life to following him.” Bill Hull. All hail, our King!.

When your spouse, children, and church leaders discover your secrets …. Will you soon find yourself living in a lonely apartment, with no prospect of ever serving in ministry again?. Or did a sovereign, merciful God prompt me to post this—to give you one last chance?.

Excited about preaching this Sunday morning and evening at Henderson Hills Baptist in Edmond, OK. Preaching on the supreme majesty of King Jesus. And, linking arms with Pastor Wohlgemuth to launch a Family Ministry Equipping Model for the church. What a great day!.

If life were a football game, what quarter would your age fall in?. Me? The 4th quarter. You might wonder what life looks like in this season. Well …. “[Irrepressible] joy [is spread] for the upright in heart [who delight in His favor and protection]” (Ps 97:11). Joy! And you?.

Should student pastors spend an ENTIRE semester studying:. 1. Accelerating the harvest of lost students.2. Mobilizing teenagers to evangelize their families, schools, communities.3. Launching teenagers to reach the very last people groups. Only @swbts. We begin tomorrow. Pray!.

God can break out in totally unexpected ways. But His normative way to spiritually awaken a church is to:. 1. Awaken heads of households, especially dads. 2. Awaken families. 3. Awaken the entire congregation. THAT will be my focus today with FBC Covington, TN. Will you pray?.

I celebrate this newest work from Dr. Ken Clayton, my former pastor. Fresh insights from the parables. "Kingdom Come: The Kingdom Parables of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew".
