Lane Brown @ Chandler Street

In 5th grade, the kids in the neighborhood and I had a plan. Save up about $6, sneak out of the neighborhood, walk down the bayou trail, and go to Fuddruckers.  That was our dream! Build our own burger with unlimited Fuddruckers toppings! As I grew older, I didn't have to sneak off to get a meal, but I started to lose my love for this burger joint. I think it was because I always put more top...

Our God made us Unique. We are his masterpiece! We have been given gifts by the Spirit to bring glory to Him. Are we using those gifts? Are we making the most of talents our Lord has given us? This week we look at the church in Laodicea. Revelation 3. We will learn from them how to live hot or cold and not lukewarm Christian lives.

How do we continue to put our Hope in God during the struggles of this life? How can we fully trust the promises of God. This week we will look at the church in Smyrna and follow their example of trusting in the promises of God. - Revelation Chapter 2.

Following God during tough times. Ruth, Naomi, Boaz. Ruth Chapter 1, Ruth Chapter 2

Potter and The Clay, Jeremiah, The Linen Belt, Jeremiah 18, Jeremiah 13.

4 Qualities of a Church that Thrives Acts 2:42

Closer To The Cross - Simon From Cyrene - Luke 23

Closer To The Cross - Luke 23 Simon From Cyrene - The Resurrection

Here is a great Uber tip for all of you who didn't ask...if you are ever at something like a concert or sporting event and need an uber ride home, don't stand in the rideshare line. Walk about 3 or 4 blocks from the arena and catch your ride there. You will get your Uber much faster. When I was having some fun driving for Uber, event pickup rides were never worth my time! You don't get paid until...

Humble Mercy - The Pharisee and the Tax Collector - Luke 18

Persistence & Prayer - Parable of the Persistent Widow - Luke 18

"I wish I was little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her, I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat, And a six four Impala." This is one of the songs I think about when I remember my Freshmen year of College. Sometimes I wish I could go back to those great college years! What is it that you want in life? What would you want a little bit more of?...

A Pleasing Aroma - Rich Man and Lazarus - Luke 16

A look into Luke 16, the Shrewd Manager, and how we are called to invest in people.

What does it cost us to be a follower of Christ? Nothing? Everything? Jesus will tell us!

So what is your excuse? We all have them! What is getting in between you and a closer relationship with our Lord?

A Dinner With Jesus - Luke 14

The Super Bowl teams are set. Bengals VS Rams. Sounds like a fun matchup, but neither is my team. I haven't had a team in 20+ years. Bud Adams took away my Houston Oilers in 1997 and I have been a Free Agent Fan ever since. I miss my Oilers. I miss having an NFL team that I can passionately root for. If this was my only problem in this world I would live a pretty fantastic life! Unfortunately, thi...

Rich Towards God - Luke Chapter 12 - Do Not Worry

Praying With Your Father - Luke 11

This past week I watched as the Dallas Mavericks retired my favorite basketball player, Dirk Nowitzki's jersey! It is without question that Dirk is the greatest Maverick, but in time maybe Luka will takeover that role. Many like to discuss who is the greatest in Sports, but what about in everyday life? What makes you great? Popularity? Riches? Good Looks? Power? If you want to be great in the King...

We live in a world where so often you are either in or out. We have a world that wants to pin folks against each other. You are Rich or Poor, Black or White, you’re a republican or a democrat, your pretty or ugly, your popular or a nobody, you’re a boomer or a millennial...unless you are Generation X the greatest of the generations :-) In many ways this is the world we live in, but that is not wha...

We picture the first Christmas as beautiful. We see the Nativity of Jesus as something great, and truly for what this meant for the world was magnificent. But it was also hard! It was messy! Jesus wasn't born in a first class hospital room, he was born in a barn. Sometimes life is difficult, but just like Mary, we need to trust in God even during the difficult times.

Are you prepared when the unexpected happens? When I was in High School I was driving down the "Feeder" road (that is what we call the access, or frontage road to the interstate highway in Houston), and I hit a big pothole. It caused the passenger door to open slightly. I looked over at the door, surprised it had opened, and took my eyes off the road.  All of the sudden the car in front of me...

We can't have a lazy faith!
