Throwback – 4 – Humanity – Genesis 4-11
Throwback – 4 – OT Devos – Genesis 4-11 (keynote)
I believe its not only important to preach/teach Biblically and Gospel-centeredly, but its also important to preach/teach strategically. For example, we just started releasing passages for daily devotions to our students. This sermon in our Genesis series not only teaches them Genesis 4-11, but it also strategically teaches students how to get the most out of their Old Testament devotions.
Throwback – 3 – Reverse The Curse – Genesis 3 (sermon)
Throwback – 3 – Curse – Genesis 3 (curriculum)
Throwback – 3 – Curse – Genesis 3 (slides)
The best way to resist sin is to know Satan’s strategy for sin. Genesis 3 is the best chapter in the entire Bible to let us in on Satan’s secret strategy for sin. The sermon will show your students how sin is far more serious than they even realize. Feel free to download these resources and make them your own.

This was the most requested sermon of our “You Asked For It” series. About once a month I hear the question “What’s so wrong with saying certain words? What makes those words so wrong and not others?” I’ve never heard a sermon on cuss words, so here you go world. Cuss Words vs. Christ’s Words. Let me know your thoughts.

What’s your view on the End Times? Do you have one? How sure are you? Do you think others are wrong, stupid, or ungodly if their view is different from yours? Could each of the major views actually help and benefit our spiritual walk? Are all areas of the end times of equal importance? Here answers to these questions and more from this study! What are your thoughts on all this?

Being the brother of Jesus, Jude seems like he would be Mr. Nice Guy. But when you read his book, you’ll see he gets serious with some straight up real talk to his readers about avoiding false teachers and living for Jesus. Jude does not play around when it comes to sin. He warns Christians about judgment, and calls them out on the carpet! You’ll definitely love this study. Let us know your thoughts!

Michael Harris was saved in CBSM as a 7th grader, baptized and called into the pastoral ministry as an 8th grader. It has been incredible to watch Michael grow in the grace and gospel of Jesus over the last 5 years. Michael’s knowledge, faith, worship, and life has obviously deepened as he’s matured. Michael preached for our KTL month last year, and this is just an incredible sermon from the book of 3 John that concludes Michael’s senior year so well. I’m so thankful to have been his youth pastor, and I know God will use him greatly in ministry!

I’ve always heard that Christian teenagers have two main questions: How do I know if I’m really saved? And, what is God’s will for my life? This study is designed to put the first question to rest and offer assurance. As their youth pastor, I really wanted to teach this in a non-confrontational, non-emotional, and non-freaky-scary way. I’ve seen too many pastors make people doubt their salvation, so I wanted to just present the facts and let the Spirit do the work. Once you take a look or a listen, let me know what you think!

This is a CBSM sermon where basically I’m thinking out loud and processing what I believe God has been teaching me over the past year. He’s revealed to me how we are basically an Attractional Ministry and how we lack being a Missional Ministry. I believe that it is biblical to have a healthy balance of both Attractional and Missional Ministry. So check this message here to hear my thoughts out loud on processing through a transition from Attractional to Missional Ministry.
