If we want to be fulfilled in life, we can’t let anything hold us back. Fulfillment comes when we live out our purpose. Our purpose is to connect other people with their Creator God, but too often we let fears hold us back from living out our purpose. In this message, I address the key ways fear affects us and the ways we can overcome it.

This message is the third in my series on fulfillment and covers one of the most deeply personal issues I’ve addressed so far at Southside Church. The bottom line claim is that pain and struggles are opportunities for us to find fulfillment as we live out our God-given purpose.
I know that’s a pretty strong claim to make, but I believe it. I’m convinced that God has a purpose for the pain we go through and when we live in the purpose, we can actually find fulfillment in our pain.
Listen up and tell me what you think.

Beginning a new series, I address the following key claim about finding fulfillment in life.
Fulfillment in life comes when you live out who you were made to be, or as I put it on Sunday, it’s when who you are is what you do.

The Bible talks a lot about money, and we don’t talk enough about money. At least, we don’t talk enough about money in the right way. In this key message to a brief series I delivered at Southside Church, I address the source of all our wealth. Of course, the Bible teaches that all blessing comes from God. In other words, if we want to have real blessings in our lives we need to pursue God and obey his principles for distributing wealth.

The final Biblical priority we need to have in life is the priority of impact or making a positive difference in the world for God. In this message I spend more time talking about how to have the impact God designed you to have and what things keep us from achieving it.

Note: I really didn’t feel very strong about this message. I struggled with it all week long and then went on the Men’s Fishing Trip over the weekend. I was mentally exhausted on Sunday and because a few good set-up team members were missing or late, I was distracted again. As a result, I didn’t feel very good about the message, but I’d love to get your comments on how you think it went.
It’s a widely held belief that what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger, but we still don’t want to go through the process it takes to get stronger. In this message, I try to show how having a priority of progress can put pain in perspective.

It is an interesting turn of phrase that occurs most often in Christian circles, but finds its way in the conversations of anyone really. We know it is important for us to love people, but we don’t really know why, and most importantly, we don’t know how to love people because frankly, there are a lot of people we just don’t like.
In this sermon, I address what Jesus calls the second greatest commandment—one that is so important to him that when asked what the greatest commandment was, he actually had to say this one too. That commandment is for us to love other people. In this sermon, I address the meaning of that command and I give 5 tools for how to love someone even when you don’t like him or her.

"Our biochemistry is about 97% the same as a mouse.
Our biochemistry is about 50% the same as a banana.
Human Cytochrom 'C' is closest to that of a sunflower.
Human eyes are closest to the eyes of an octopus.
Human skin is closest to that of a pig."
Explain to me, how this fits in with primates??? With all due respect, i think his aim with "god set it up that way" was meant to be an insult of some kind. He sounds very passionate about this subject and with passion comes biases. While i'm not researched in anyway on this specific argument, generally speaking i'm convinced these people only look at their "evidence" with one prospective; 1st proves evolution or doesn't.. They don't even consider any other possibility of what it could mean..Taken at face value because i don't know anything about the human gnome and could be missing key things due to pure ignorance. Start of video; You had plenty of time to research and form a "theory" on something then proceed to drop this well researched project on someone and expect them to refute you on the drop of dime?? I dont think you need a PHD to say; you should allow someone to try refute your findings within a respectable time frame. That seems like the most objective thing to do. Although i think this would show insecurity on "Ken's" part. (To have holes punched in something your just presenting would be kind embarrassing. or was it arrogance?) Rest of video: Sounds like its not an exact match, "within 15 bases", and something about Telomeres not belonging? The choice of "correspond with" instead of something like is "exactly like", implicates some differences as well?.. But i could be completely wrong.. "no reason, no rhyme" sounds like he is insulting the bible as well. Would be very interested in hearing a completely objective view on these findings..
