John the Baptist communicated Jesus’ importance when he saw Him and told his disciples, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me’” (Jn 1:29-30). This declaration was a big deal…

There’s a good chance we’ve heard the story of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus so many times in church that we’ve failed to actually pay attention to what happened.

Before I got to college, I knew little about the Holy Spirit. But by the time I graduated, I was a different person. During my college days, I played in a worship band with some friends at a Pentecostal church and we took our music on the road a handful of times. It was there…

I was still learning about the Holy Spirit when a well known minister by the name of Mahesh Chavda came to town. I was asked by a college professor of mine to attend the event as a “catcher.” In other words, it was my job to catch the people who fell over under the power…

This Sunday we tried something a little bit different for service. I read 2 chapters of Jesus’ comments on the end times, and then using the webpage Slido, I took and answered various questions from our congregation on the confusing reading. You can check it out on the 1208PODCAST. Check out this podcast episode on 1208GREENWOOD’s…

Growing up, both my brother and I loved making ridiculous videos. That being said, we got a little bored last night and after about 5 hours, had written, recorded, and edited this ridiculous music video about potato chips. Enjoy.
