It was great to be back with you last Sunday! I missed you the previous week, but my time away in Africa truly was a blessing.

What’s your mission?
Last weekend was a long but rewarding weekend in the life of our church. As many of you know, we hosted ABC’s first ever marriage conference on Friday and Saturday. Pastor and best-selling author, Gary Thomas, did a wonderful job teaching us how marriage can become a doorway to a closer walk with God andContinue reading “What’s your mission?”
Marriage is a team sport
Football seasons are quite the roller coaster ride. Every team and every fan begin the season with high expectations and great hope. All our teams start the season undefeated, but as we know, that does not last very long. The season eventually kicks off and wins and losses begin to accumulate. Some teams secure earlyContinue reading “Marriage is a team sport”
Why Christians Need The Good News Too
Over the past year, Matt Gillum and I have enjoyed launching a new digital ministry here at ABC. For a little over 12 months, we have consistently uploaded new content to our church’s podcast channel titled, “Citizen ATX” (you can find it HERE).

I hope you had as much fun as I did at “Merry Christmas Y’all!” Last Sunday was a spectacular night for our church and for our entire community. It was so exciting to see our entire campus come alive as it was flooded with people of all ages. There truly was something for everyone, fromContinue reading “Blessed to be a blessing”
Go Tell It On the Mountain
In the Spencer house we have a special piece of Christmas décor that sits on our kitchen counter. It is a small Christmas countdown display, and every day we update that number as we draw closer to the big day. As the number of days goes down, the amount of excitement always goes up. ChristmasContinue reading “Go Tell It On the Mountain”
A Season Of Generosity
The Christmas season is officially in full swing at ABC. The church is beautifully decorated, we observed our first Advent Sunday, and excitement is beginning to build as we look forward to all that God has for us this month. When we think about the Christmas season, different words usually come to mind. For someContinue reading “A Season Of Generosity”
The Perfect Christmas
I hope you enjoyed Missions Sunday last weekend. I’m thankful for John and the continued efforts of the IMB. It was great to hear how God is working through His people all around the world, and it was encouraging to hear that we can partner with God and His mission from right here at ABC.
