This weekend is Super Bowl Sunday, and as always, there is great anticipation leading up to the big game. As a Cowboys fan, I must admit that my passion for this game already departed three weeks ago when the San Francisco 49ers crushed my hopes and dreams. Nonetheless, millions of other Americans are intently preparingContinue reading “What if we viewed church like the Super Bowl?”

Don’t Grow Weary
I hope you are staying warm and safe this week. It’s amazing how unpredictable the weather can be in central Texas. Sunday afternoon felt like a warm spring day. My kids were in shorts and riding on their bikes with friends in the neighborhood. Then Tuesday came and the schools were shut down, and nowContinue reading “Don’t Grow Weary”
What is the church to you?
The church is more than just a building. Church is more than an hour of worship or a class that you attend. The church is more than a ministry or program that you serve in. All of those things are wonderful functions and byproducts of the church, but they are not the church itself. TheContinue reading “What is the church to you?”
What is your ministry?
It was great to kick off our “More Than Conquerors” series with you last Sunday. I hope you have spent the week walking in the new freedom that Jesus Christ has purchased for you.

White Christmas is Here
I hope you enjoyed The Sights and Sounds of Christmas! Last Sunday was an incredible day in the life of our church, and I’m thankful for what God did through our special Christmas event. Over 1,000 people joined us for one of the two concerts, and many more came for just the festival. The musicContinue reading “White Christmas is Here”
Christmas is Here!
I’m looking forward to being back with you in worship this weekend. I’m currently wrapping up my Israel trip and looking forward to telling you more about it in Austin. It has been a phenomenal experience, and I’m looking forward to experiencing it once again with many of you next year. A trip like thisContinue reading “Christmas is Here!”
Hello from Israel

We are going to have a spectacular December here at ABC, and I hope you plan to be a part of it each week. This Sunday, we are kicking off our new Christmas sermonContinue reading “Hello from Israel”
Serve This Season
It is great to welcome back our mission team from South Texas! As many of you know, we sent a group of men to build a new home for a family of 12 in Penitas, Texas. We actually began this mission project months ago through our first ever “Project Homebuild.” Over 100 ABC volunteers rolledContinue reading “Serve This Season”
