Life is a Highway

Recently I have started a new sermon Series entitled Life Is a Highway in which we are covering many of the issues of life. Can God use me? Can I be forgiven? Can I forgive those that have hurt me? Is there truly peace on earth? Can my marraige be a success? How do I raise my children in a Godly manner? How do I stay on track with God? etc.

I have found that life can be very much like a highway. At times the road of life is smooth, easy going, no bumps or bruises. However, most of us have also experienced the potholes of life that can literally shake us into a talespin. This is what we are covering through this series. The fact is that there is nothing we can do to keep from hitting the potholes of life. However, with God's help we can learn how to overcome them and prepare for them. So I would like to invite you to come check us out one Sunday at Eagle Heights as we travel down this Highway of Life together.

Amazed by God

Wow! I continue to be amazed by God! This past Sunday we had our fall kick off service to kick off the fall season. We had over 100 people in attendance which is an AMAZING thing to me being the fact that not even a year ago we were meeting as a small group in my home with about 10 people. God has been so good to our church. The excitement and the life giving atmosphere was tangible, we truly have a great church that is made great by awesome people that love God, and love each other. If you are reading this I hope that you will join us one Sunday at Eagle Heights where Anyone is Welcome, Everyone is Accepted, and No One stays the same.

Safe In The Harbor

"A ship is safe in the Harbor, but thats not what ships were made for." This is one of my favorite quotes, because it reminds me of the potential that God has placed in all of us. Sometimes the harbors of life can be safe, but there is nothing like leaving the harbor and experiencing the depth of the greatness of God. If you are reading this today, always remember that God has a great plan and purpose for your life. I challenge you to dream big, Love much, Live life to the fullest, push away from the safety of the harbor and trust God with your life. Then watch to see what happens!!

Football is in the Air

I get so pumped this time of year. You can almost smell the quickly approaching fall season in the air. It is one of my favorite times of year for many reasons, but I suppose most of all because fall is the season that football starts. There is just something about football that gets your blood boiling. Lay aside the particular school or team that demands your loyalty (Geaux Tigers!!!)this time of year in our part of the country is kind of like Christmas. We get geared up for the another great year of Food and Pig-skin, BBQ pits get cleaned up, new food concoctions get made up, faces get painted up, and the colors go up. So from my heart to yours have a great fall season.

Awesome!!!

Wow!! It is Wednesday and I still can't stop thinking about what an Awesome day this past Sunday was. I continue to be amazed at the greatness of God, Sunday 13 people were Baptized and publicly proclaimed that Jesus Christ was the Lord of their lives. I am currently preaching a series entitled TRANSFORMED, in which we are talking about the process of becoming more and more like Jesus. When I think about this past Sunday I can't help but to reflect on the verses of the song that says "There's no such thing as perfect people, there's no such thing as a perfect life, so come as you are broken and scarred, lift up your heart be amazed, be changed by a perfect God." This is at the core of what Eagle Heights is all about, a church where Imperfect people find new life, new hope, and true purpose through our PERFECT GOD.

A Day at The Beach More than Just a Good Time

This week after attending a conference in Birmingham Al, We took the kids down to the beach for a couple of days, the picture above is of my baby boy Brock. As I was looking at this picture I was reminded of how much family means, and how much my family means to me. I want to encourage all of you who are reading this (especially parents) to put priority on your family time, our children aren't getting any younger only older so make it a point to invest your time in their lives. In today's society there seems to always be something else bidding for your time and it is so easy to sell out our time to things that don't matter. However, our families do matter in fact, they matter most and the investment we make into the Lives of our children and our marraiges is the greatest investment we will ever make.
