This was my last sermon at CBSM and youth pastor. Actually, this passage (Luke 24) was also the first passage I ever preached as youth pastor at CBSM…almost 6 years ago. We started with on a Christ-centered study through the whole Bible together, and praise God that He allowed us to finish it together. After a lot of prayer, God allowed us to complete our time together in CBSM with these important bookends – seeing all life as Christ-centered. Serving as youth pastor in CBSM has been the best 6 years of my life. I could not be more thankful for my time with those amazing people. They quickly became my life, family, friends, and church. You will all be missed so so so much!

What will the Final Judgment be like? Everyone reading this has a different view from each other. Some people think that our good works will be weighed and the outcome will be where we spend eternity. Some people think we won’t be ultimately judged because an all loving God will allow everyone into heaven. But we must have a biblical view of the final judgment. What if I told you that the judgment for believers and unbelievers will be very different? What if I told you that unbelievers won’t be judged for their good works, and believers won’t be judged for their wrong doings? What if I told you the final judgment didn’t determine where people spent eternity, but it had a different purpose? Check this study out and share your thoughts with us.

The CBSM Praise Band


I could not be more thankful for our student-led CBSM praise band and media team. Our Capshaw media guru, Jeremy Coburn, created this video, so I just had to show them off. Jackson Beasley does an incredible job leading. These students love Jesus, serve humbly, and they’re incredibly talented. Enjoy this acoustic song “You Never Let Go.”

CBSM One Day Food Drive

food drive poster
CBSM, here’s your reminder of our One Day Food Drive tomorrow: Sunday, May 5th. We are running this Food Drive for our church’s mission trip to KY. The part of Ky they are going to does not have much food. Many are starving or malnourished. Also, that area of KY is very malnourished spiritually. They need to hear the gospel. Jesus loved to feed people and then share the gospel with them. Think about Him feeding the 5000, feeding the 4000, etc. He showed them that He is where they will be taken care of eternally!
