SAILING: Winds of teaching. "Charting the Sea of Darkness." Christopher Cross. Humboldt's Great Voyage.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! If money, time, self-discipline, and my wife’s fear of drowning were non-factors, sailing would be the hobby for me. And so, I remain landlocked. Today we’ll discuss how to sail with Jesus instead of going with the prevailing winds; how a quest doomed to failure cost Henry Hudson his life; how the king of yacht rock still calms my spirit; and how knowing the ocean currents can help you sail into the winner’s circle. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host

Simple Saving Faith

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! We are saved by faith. the Bible is clear about that. We are saved by our belief. The Gospel of John tells us that - Jesus tells us that - over and over. But we know there has to be something more to it. I mean, the demons believe and shutter. And faith without works is dead. So what is this saving faith? What does it look like and how does it work? Saving faith may not be easy, but it also isn't complicated. In fact, the truth of it and what it feels and looks like may be as simple as a bit of visualization. Today we see

S4 E6 - It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a TRAMPOLINE!

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail We bought our son who just turned 4 a trampoline for his birthday! It wasn't that hard to put together, but it didn't come with anchors. So, we ordered some online. I delayed putting them on because of how busy our week was, thinking I would just do it this upcoming weekend. Well, I wasn't anticipating a huge thunderstorm last night with big wind gusts. Thankfully, we still have a trampoline, but we got lucky. Well, what happens when storms come if we are not properly anchored in Christ? We will end up flying far away from where we once stood spiritually. So when is the best t

Episode 202 - "Back in My Day"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Make Some Room for Friendship Is it just us, or is it hard to find room for all the friendships you want to maintain? Sometimes we feel guilt over not being close to everyone in the church, and other times we wonder how we’ll make the time to connect with anyone at a substantive level! So here, in session 2 of our Two by Two guided study, we notice how Jesus tended to friendships and take a Closer Look at Paul’s band of close partners. We discuss some particular challenges each of us has run into and learn to make what one brother called friendship “shepherd’s pie.” As we work towards closer r

Love's Yarn

Love Better

A ball of yarn, a warning against minotaurs, and a fashionable reminder. Today, we look at the failings of the heart. Today is the last installment of our series on learning to love God (and our neighbor) with all our heart. Every time that Jesus mentions the greatest commandment, He begins by telling us to love with our whole heart. The heart is the seat of our emotions, it is where they reside, it is the part of us that we feel with – from fear to courage to anger to joy to sorrow to discouragement to resentment to gratitude. If you can feel it, it is your heart that makes that possible. Sta

PRAISE: The song of the rocks. "Holy Roar." "Praise This." Steam Up.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! As God’s child, you have the obligation and the privilege of praising Him. Do it well, or do it poorly. As always, you get to choose. Today we’ll discuss actual “rock music” that is in the Bible (please forgive the play on words); a careful venture into the Hebrew language to learn what praise really is; the idea of worship as a competition – an idea from Hollywood, to no one’s surprise; and a game whose praises I sang prematurely, and how I managed to literally avoid paying the price. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for th

Five Scariest Minutes

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! I want to carefully invite you to a place of thinking through past fears today. I know some can be far too deep or hurtful for us to venture into. But if you are like me, you've got stories of just really scary, sorrowful, unforgettable events that you recall often. How do you feel when you recall them? Is the objective to block the feelings or get your mind off of it as quickly as possible? What if you assigned gratitude to it? What if you connected lessons learned or necessary changes initiated, stemming from that event
