When I Survey the Wonderous Cross...

"See from His head, His hands, His feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown."

--Isaac Watts, 1707

Recent Sermon...

Hey y'all. Here is a link to the first sermon I had the privilege of delivering here at First Baptist Grapevine. You can click here to go to the sermon page and listen to it if you would like to do so. The message is entitled "He is Holy" and comes from Isaiah 6:1-7. If you do choose to listen to it, please feel free to give me any thoughts or feedback.

Also, right now in Sunday school we are going through the book of Luke and it has raised a lot of questions from different people in the class. Please pray for wisdom and direction from God and that we will always be open to what His word SAYS.

Thanx!

Vision

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Tears from the Saints...

I know I said to check the last video, but check this one! I think I have posted this song on my blog before, or at least the lyrics or something from it. I don't remember, but here is a video to go along with the song again, as well as a prayer that ALL of us would be broken over those around us who are lost and hurting!

Gracious Heavenly Father,
How awesome are You? How gracious You are and how loving You are. Forgive us for not reaching out to those who are around us. Forgive us for not speaking up for the truth or speaking the truth when the opportunity presents itself. Forgive us for holding in what You have given to us, rather than giving all that You have given us to those around us. Break our hearts and our minds and our wills so that no longer will we just pass by those around us, but that we would instead reach out to them with the blessed hope that is found only in Jesus Christ. Strengthen us and empower us through Your Holy Spirit and may we always be bold for You. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

One Foundation

"The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation, by Spirit and the Word:
From heav'n He came and sought her to be His holy bride,
With His own blood he bought her, and for her life He died."

The Church's One Foundation by Samuel J. Stone, 1866
