It was a good Friday…

Today I had the honor of accepting an invitation to preach at First Baptist Church Covington.  My good friend, prayer partner, and (fellow bald man) the right Reverend Adam Crews extended the offer to lead this historic African-American congregation in their annual Holy Week observance.  What a joy!  I was deeply honored that so many from Main Street traveled to Covington to support their pastor and to worship with their family in Covington.  What a great day.

I have never done this, but I really am excited about the text of this message, so for those who care to read, the message is linked below.

    Oh how I wish I could have been there! What deep thoughts and so much to ponder…and the worship with such truth being spoken must have been incredible. Thank you for posting the sermon notes…thank you.

    It was such a joy to be there and hear your message! To see members of Christ’s church from Covington, Newport and Alexandria praising God and opening up to His message was inspirational. Pastor Crews and the choir of First Baptist stir emotions inside that can’t be explained. What a blessing! Micah 4:1 tells us “In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house will be the highest of all- the most important place on earth. It will be raised above the other hills, and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.” So good to see Christ’s church together, boundaries of rivers, city and county lines mean nothing. We gather as one to worship Him! AMEN!!!
