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.

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”

Now that the votes are officially in, I thought it’d be appropriate to answer the question, “where do we go from here?” Regardless of how you voted,Continue reading “In the Wake of an Election”
