    WHO CUT IN ON YOU?

    July 31st, 2010 | Johnny Bragg

    Ever been wiped out? By the enemy? By your own decisions? Or by (gasp) another believer? This week we began our new series, WIPEOUT. Our featured scripture is Galatians 5:7 NIV, You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? We’ve all been there. Mired down [...]

    YOUR ROOTS IN THE KINGDOM

    July 23rd, 2010 | Johnny Bragg

    This week I pulled a weed from our church mulch. One tug and it came right out, and I dropped it next to where it had been growing. Left to die in the heat. What is remarkable is that the weed was only 6 inches from where it had just been thriving. It still had sunshine. [...]

    LET’S GO TO THE RIVER

    Each of us have them. Those friends and family members we deeply desire to see come to the Lord. They may unsaved, totally lost, or may have just lost their way. We think about them. Pray for them. And as the Lord opens doors, we minister to them. And month after month, we carry the [...]

    THE FROG IN HOT WATER

    July 8th, 2010 | Johnny Bragg

    Remember the little frog your science teacher told you about in third grade? How the frog will grow used to the water, and though it is slowly heated, will stay put even if the water begins to boil. It’s an issue of comfort. Our lives are not too different. We have pressure from our boss, [...]

    Joy

    July 8th, 2010 | Johnny Bragg

    Whenever we speak of joy, especially in churches, it is often by those who are naturally sanguine, upbeat, even comedic. And while it is good to have a laugh in church, it remains that few walk in daily joy. I have spoken with many Christians who struggle with depression, anxiety, and loneliness. This should not [...]

    Peace

    July 8th, 2010 | Johnny Bragg

    One of my favorite things about being a Christian is that we do not have to do it on our own. We don’t have to face tomorrow alone. When we have a challenge, we have the Word of God to stand on, and our friend Jesus to talk to. When the waves of life come [...]
