This Sunday I am preaching from Luke 9, where I believe Jesus gives us clear instruction to keep things simple in ministry and even in life.

I thought maybe he was using one of my jokes or referencing me as a innovative pastor that is influencing culture for the Gospel. He [...]

I am continually impressed by Curtis and his commitment to bringing the Gospel to the KSU campus. I am looking forward to seeing [...]
