7.1 million people baptized in the SBC in the last 20 years. In that same time, our weekly worship average attendance has not changed.
Salvation is not the finish line, it’s the starting line. Jesus’ last command (make disciples) has to be our top priority.
Residencies & internships are a big part of what we do at @christcommunity. We’ve got room for one more summer intern and are taking applications for our residency program. Come be a part of something special here in Charlotte!

This week I’ve met with:
- a hungry new believer
- a friend discerning a call to ministry
- a newly ordained lay elder
- a retired gentleman who wants to engage with God’s Word more
- a young man questioning the legitimacy of the faith we profess
And we baptize 5 on Sunday!
157,690
That's the number of people who will die lost this year EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Our @IMB_SBC research team, led by @WilsonGeisler, tracks this number to remind us of the magnitude of lostness. It's calculated on global death rates, population growth & religious affiliation
Old Testament: Anticipation
Gospels: Manifestation
Acts: Proclamation
Epistles: Explanation
Revelation: Consummation
Your whole Bible is about Jesus.

What a powerful night at Christ Community United! Last night, members all across our area gathered together to celebrate God’s work in and through us.
We’re expectant and excited for what’s next!
Jesus descended from:
Eve (the rebel)
Sarah (the scoffer)
Leah (the unloved)
Tamar (the deceiver)
Rahab (the harlot)
Ruth (the pagan)
Bathsheba (the Gentile’s wife)
Mary (the virgin)
He came as the seed of the woman to crush Satan and to cover sin and shame.

“Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, MY JOY AND CROWN, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved. (Philippians 4:1)
What if our crowning achievement wasn’t something we did, but someone we led?
Since March 2020 I've been saying that when our great-grandchildren remember the 2020s, they will no more remember Covid-19 than we (before Covid) remembered the Spanish Flu when we thought of the 1920s. I may not need to make that point for much longer.
