    Max Lucado’s Fearless Campaign. This is my sermon based on the outline that he gives. The main point is that its not about the storm, but who you discover in the storm.

    Fearless #1 The first church I went to as a child had a bully in it. It was the preacher’s son. His name was Johnny and I remember he wore a leather jacket just like every bully wears. He had greasy black hair too. Johnny was an intimidator and generally tried to terrify the kids who were ...read more

    I dreamed that the Holy Spirit took me up in the air. He was teaching me how to fly. At first I felt like Dumbo, I was then catching on. I was able to fly as the Spirit was enabling.

    As we just read in Hebrews 13:10, “we have an altar” of our own now. Our altar of worship isn’t like what they had in the Old Testament. Our altar of worship is a place were we can come and offer up the fruit of lips that confess His name.
