  • The Problems of Today

    The Problems of Today

    We are quick to forget what Jesus did for us yesterday when facing our problems of today! @jonathanfalwell at @thomasroad Pastor Jonathan spoke of the second (and lesser known) feeding of the 4000 from Mark today! There’s a lot of nuance in this sermon which I always find difficult to capture in these things but it was interesting…

  • Tending the Fire

    Tending the Fire

    “Call men to a passionate and sacrificial quest with the odds stacked against us, and you can’t keep us away.” @wolfandiron(Mike Yarbrough) from “Tending the Fire” This is not a book about hunting or sports or beer or whatever things spring to mind when you think about “manliness” or “being a man.” There is a much…

  • Idols won’t die for you

    Idols won’t die for you

    “Idols won’t die for your sins. They leave that to you.” Matt Smethurst on Twitter I don’t think Matt is here on instagram otherwise I’d tag him. On twitter he’s a treasure trove of thought provoking ideas. More than one sketchy sermon has originated from his feed. 😅

  • I’m here to be with You.

    I’m here to be with You.

    People have said, “Don’t cry” to other people for years and years, and all it has ever meant is, “I’m too uncomfortable when you show your feelings. Don’t cry.” I’d rather have them say, “Go ahead and cry. I’m here to be with you.” – Mister Rogers There are a ton of Mister Rogers quotes…

  • Wes Molebash!

    Wes Molebash!

    “Here are three *seemingly* well-intentioned things I think have severely wounded American Christianity: Right Wing Politics, the satanic panic of the 80’s, Purity Culture of the 90’s.” @thewesmolebash – from twitter Gotta be honest, I was a little nervous to post this one. But here we go! I’ve followed Wes for a while – he was…

  • 1 Timothy 4:13

    1 Timothy 4:13

    “Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of scripture, to exhortation, and to teaching.” 1 Tim 4:13 There is SO MUCH amazing content out there. I buy way too many books, subscribe to way too many podcasts, and follow way too many accounts. My watch later list on Youtube is 400+ and growing.…

  • Keep Being Salty

    Keep Being Salty

    “God has given you gifts to be poured out into this world. Without salt, people sink to the bottom of this sinful world. But with you, the salt of the world, people rise! Keep using your gifts, keep being salty!” @amenalex Great illustration from Alex! When you place an egg in a glass of water the…

  • Memorial Day 2021

    Memorial Day 2021

    Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.  Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting…

  • God Loves You

    God Loves You

    I’ve said it before, but when @charlesbillingsley gives a sermon there’s just not enough paper and ink to get it all down. He packs so much into them! 😅 Another great sermon at @thomasroad today! 🙌🏼

  • Ecclesiastes 11:4

    Ecclesiastes 11:4

    “Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.” Ecclesiastes 11:4 I’m on a huge Ecclesiastes kick right now. This text summons up precisely the battle a lot of us face with perfectionism, procrastination, and resistance. Here’s Solomon in an ancient text reaching through history to tell us…
