He broke them down into three categories: struggling, flourishing but with issues, and normal. My church, Edgewater, fell under the...
Two years ago I packed up a few of my things and drove to my parents’ home in Mobile, Alabama. At the time, New Orleans had issued a voluntary evacuation; NOBTS issued a mandatory evacuation. Two days later, Hurricane Katrina pushed onshore as a category 3 hurricane. It was something I’d been...
Sunday morning at Edgewater Dr. Riley preached from Mark 15, regarding the mockery and crucifixion of Jesus. During our small group breakout sessions after the sermon, we discussed our thoughts on the passage. One of my group members spent a few minutes reflecting on the mockery of Jesus found in verses 16-20.
