by Pastor Joey Carroll The 12 apostles shared an unforgettable, life-changing, Christ-follower-defining evening at the dinner table with our Lord. It would be His last meal before His body would be crushed beneath the weight of Calvary. It would be the evening in which those 12 men would experience the unique kind of love that … Continue reading The Table of the Lord →

By Pastor Joey Carroll We have been talking about worship and the Lord’s Table for the last couple of weeks. And now we come to the problem in the church at Corinth. They were  participating in communion in an unworthy manner. Certainly, there is only One that is seated at the Table of the Lord … Continue reading An Unworthy Manner →

By Joey Carroll The corporate worship of God lies central at my heart. I study about it, pray over it, and as a pastor, I am often making changes to it. The desire is to make it as Scriptural, God-glorifying, and saint-edifying as I can. It is one of the subjects that my friend Brad … Continue reading The Corporate Worship of God →

by Sarah Wootten Over the last two weeks, we considered the foundation for the command that women should wear headcoverings while praying or prophesying in the gathered worship service (1 Corinthians 11:2-7). This instruction isn’t random; it’s based on God’s good design in creation, in the Trinity, and in marriage. Today, we wrap up this … Continue reading So What About This Headcovering? →

by Sarah Wootten For many of us who grew up in church, we were taught rules to obey. Don’t use foul language, go to church, be kind, etc. However, critical pieces of information were often left out with these rules. Rarely were we told WHY we needed to do these things. This left us with … Continue reading The Beauty of Submission in God’s Design →

His righteousness and His kindness permeates everything that He does. There has never been a single flaw in His character, His decrees, or in His … Continue reading God’s Design Is Always Good →

by Pastor Joey Carroll The Westminster Catechism is very useful in helping us understand the basic elements of the Christian faith. It is written in the format of questions followed by answers from the Bible. The very first question has been pondered by men of every generation since the beginning of time. What is the … Continue reading Do All to the Glory of God →

by Pastor Joey Carroll “Therefore, let him who thinks he stands take heed…” (1 Corinthians 10:12, NASB). I have spent time in many different cultures. Some places I only visited for a brief period of time, while others I stayed for much longer. But I have found our southern culture to be a one-of-a-kind culture, … Continue reading Experience Doesn’t Equal Faith →

by Pastor Joey Carroll “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law,”        (Galatians 5:22-23, NASB). Every person that has truly been born again has been filled and sealed with the third person of the Trinity – the … Continue reading Self-Control →

by Pastor Joey Carroll I am obviously a fan of a church providing for the financial needs of their pastor and his family. The flock of God that I pastor does so for me very faithfully and very generously. In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul makes the point that as a minister of the Lord, he … Continue reading Denying Privileges for the Sake of Ministry →
