What does Dumb and Dumber have to do with Jesus?

Absolutely NOTHING, but I did show a clip from the original Dumb and Dumber movie on Sunday solely as a distraction to get inside this giant hamster ball backstage in order to use as an illustration. On Sunday, we finished up our sermon series called “True Love” by asking the question “What is the g…

White Castles And Jesus

That’s essentially what I’m saying when I only trust what I see instead of trusting what Jesus said ! That was the big idea this past Sunday at Element Church as we continued our sermon series “Jesus is NOT the reason for the season”. Trusting Jesus as provider is not based on what I see it’s based…

I Don’t Believe Jesus

That’s basically what we are saying if we say, “That’s impossible,” when it comes to a spiritual issue in our lives. We either believe that the power of Jesus can do anything or we don’t. On Sunday at Element Church we finished up our sermon series on marriage and relationships called “Happily Never…

Get Off The Ledge

On Sunday at Element Church we continued our marriage series called “Happily Never Happened.” I preached from Proverbs 5 and asked the question, “How do we pursue purity?” In the message we said: Pleasure is not the opposite of purity but the outcome of pursuing it! If we would let that sink deep in…
