Has it been a while since you saw someone come to faith in Christ? This story will encourage you.
Pay attention to the end, “Dave was the 17th person to have some sort of Gospel conversation with me.”

Twenty-two years ago Dave made a stand for Jesus at a party. God used it to change my life.
If God can save me, He can save anyone.
Take a moment to hear my story of grace.
(This picture was taken at that party just after Dave arrived)

Gym church is a change of pace! Tons to celebrate through three weeks, but the congregational singing might be my favorite.

Billionaire Marc Andreessen says he has "zero" introspection, and that the idea itself is a modern invention.

Only 48 hours until @parkside_bible gathers to exalt Christ! As I've prepared to preach from Romans 11, I've really enjoyed listening to this song on repeat.

How does this get posted a major publication like ESPN?
BOTTOM 5 staff? Still talking about Andrew Abbott “luck” in the big 2026. What makes Chase Burns a “significant” injury risk?
This is embarrassing from ESPN, and Carty. I don’t care about people who think the #Reds won’t be good, that’s whatever, but don’t be illogical in your reasoning.

“The prayer meeting is the thermometer of the church; its spiritual temperature is revealed there.”
Martin Lloyd-Jones said this over 50 years ago. It was spot on back then, and it's still on point today.
Can't wait to gather with @parkside_bible on Sunday!
Our monthly Prayer Meeting is this Sunday at 9am! It is a time that we set aside to renew & remember our dependence on Jesus. We hope that you will join us! Children’s Ministry nursery–3rd grade will be available. Our Worship Service begins at 10:30am.

The greatest apologetic is love.
John 13:35, "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

Joe Rogan on why he goes to church:
"If there was a pill that could make you as nice as the people that I go to church with, everybody would be on it. They are the nicest people you will ever encounter."
Do you go to church?
Is this your experience too?

Behold, children are heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!

Louisville is currently experiencing heavy storm and severely cold temperatures.
But what’s important is to never miss an opportunity to create an anti-children culture. Really disappointing to see this, @kfc_yumcenter.
Here, children are framed as a punishment; concerts as the good life, diapers as the cautionary tale.
When institutions normalize this message, it’s not just a joke. It reinforces the very wrong notion that children are an inconvenience. It is immaturity producing an anti-culture which is anti-future.

I don't know what the weather will be on Sunday. Don't know if we'll have to cancel church or not.
But I do know there is no condemnation for those who are in Jesus Christ. 100% free. Incredible.
Can't wait to start Romans 8 - hopefully this Sunday!
