Christmas in Herman Park 2011

This is a brief 11 minute message presented at the City of Goldsboro's Christmas in Herman Park 2011. Reading the story of that first Christmas as revealed in Luke chapter 2, then briefly explaining why the righteousness of Jesus has great implications for our lives today, just as it did for the original hearers. And a closing prayer by J.R. Miller called "A Prayer for Christmas Day."

Crown Rights Media

A good friend of mine, Marcus Pittman, has started a ministry called Crown Rights Media. He uses "creative media as a tool to restore the Crown Rights of Christ to his rightful place in all areas of life." God has gifted Marcus with the ability to skillfully and creatively use technology and media for Christ's kingdom. Marcus is currently working on a project called the Open Air Preacher profile series. The video below, is an example of some fruit coming forth from Crown Rights Media. God is doing some great things!

I would like you to prayerfully consider supporting Crown Rights Media, with prayers and donations. Producing video is not cheap and takes financial resources to make it happen. Not only does it cost for video equipment and computers, but travelling expenses to document and produce. Crown Rights Media is currently in need of a few items:

1. Firewire Hard drives

2. Computer memory

3. Wireless lapel microphone

Donations to support the project can be made right from his blog http://crownrightsmedia.blogspot.com/

You can also follow Marcus on Facebook by pressing the like button for Crown Rights Media page. This will keep you informed on how the project is coming along.

Thanks Marcus, for your joyful and diligent work in serving King Jesus!! And your desire to see the nations worshipping Him!!

Superwoman Appears in Piedmont Park

Back in April, my wife and I were able to visit a good friend in Atlanta. We all went over to Piedmont Park where the Dogwood Festival was carrying on, and did a little open air preaching. Here is one of the videos from that day.

Christmas Parade Preaching

Here's a few videos from the past month of some preaching at a couple Christmas parades. If you watch them, pray for the people you see in the crowds:

1. That God would strengthen the believers who heard the word preached and motivate them to live as they are called.
2. That God would grant repentance and faith to the unbelievers who heard and cause them to be born again.
3. That the gospel would affect change in the communities of the hearers.

It never fails to amaze me

God's omniscience and sovereignty never fail to amaze me, neither should it you! A few weeks ago we were evangelizing at a festival, and as I was wrapping up an open air a young man walks up and stands in front of me. Mockingly he points and laughs, he waves to his friends and gets them to join in on the foolish gesturing. I pointed back at the teenager and proclaimed "You ought to be ashamed of your self. You ought to be ashamed of your self! Your parents raised you better than that. I pray that this same gospel message you mock, that you would one day preach it!" The young guy turns and walks away in a laughing manner with his followers.

About 5 minutes pass and as I was standing next to a friend--we were chatting--that same young guy who mocked ferociously when I was speaking about Jesus came walking towards me with a friend. This time he wasn't mocking. He apologized to me and said that he was wrong for doing what he did. I asked him his name, he responded "Christian."

Ironic huh? This little glimpse in time is just one instance of God revealing his omniscience and sovereignty. God knew exactly what this young man needed to hear, and God controlled my mouth to say it.
