Buckhead Church Technical Difficulties

Posted: September 29, 2008 in Baptism

Last weekend, when Buckhead was getting ready to baptize, the sound on the video for Simon Shirley’s testimony would not work.  Jeff Henderson, campus pastor, and I went to UGA together and used to do weekend missions to different churches together.  He was a master in this clip!

% Giving

Posted: September 26, 2008 in Giving

Many times, believers do not understand what it means for their personal lives and the Kingdom, for them to adopt a generous giving spirit in their lives, financially.  What we’re really saying is, start giving a % of your income to your local church!  Watch what happens!  It’s required by God for blessing in Malachi [...]

It is no secret that our world is in challenge, our nation’s economy is in limbo, and our uncertainty continues in this life.  We really have two volitional choices today: Choose to worry or choose to replace worry with the many things we all have to be thankful for.  Having money or the lack of [...]

It takes a lot of funding to launch a new church!  Many times we don’t realize ALL that it really does take to do it right and really, at a minimum.  It’s worth it though.  If you can help us in these areas, we are on a quest to raise this funding by the end [...]

I graduated from The University of Georgia in 1988 and my mom asked me where I thought I would go to church.  I didn’t know.  She told me about First Baptist Woodstock and the article she had read about the explosive growth it was having in an old part of downtown Woodstock.  For the most [...]
