This message was given on June 27th, 2021 at Baymeadows Baptist Church during our Sunday night service.  Habakkuk is a prophet that is relatively unknown.  When you read Habakkuk, you can see and understand his prayers to God.  "God, are you hearing my prayers?"  "How long will the evil in our society continue?"  "Why is it that it seems evil continues to prosper and the godly continue to suffer?"  Any of those questions sound familiar?  Ever prayed those prayers?  Ever felt that way?  Then I encourage you to listen to this message with an open heart and listening ears, and even a pen and paper.  I pray this blesses you and you will consider partnering with our ministry by liking, subscribing, and sharing this podcast.  If you have a comment, please share as that helps us get the Gospel out and grow our audience.  Thank you for listening and God bless.

This message was given on June 23rd, 2021 at Baymeadows Baptist Church during our Wednesday night student service.  I was not scheduled to speak this week, and found out that I would be speaking 2 minutes prior to our service starting.  Colossians 3:1-4 was what I had read that day during my devotion time, so that is what I shared that night.  I pray this blesses you and you will consider partnering with our ministry by liking, subscribing, and sharing this podcast.  If you have a comment, please share as that helps us get the Gospel out and grow our audience.  Thank you for listening and God bless.

This message was given on June 16th, 2021 at Baymeadows Baptist Church during our Wednesday night student service.  Everyone has heard the "The Parable of the Prodigal Son", however I don't believe that is the best title for the parable.  I think the main character here and the point is "The Loving Father."  This is clearly a picture of how much God loves us, if we are lost in our rebellion or in our religion.  He is a good, good, loving Father who loves us first and took the first step to bring us into reconciliation with Himself.  I pray this blesses you and you will consider partnering with our ministry by liking, subscribing, and sharing this podcast.  If you have a comment, please share as that helps us get the Gospel out and grow our audience.  Thank you for listening and God bless.

This message was given on June 6th, 2021 during our Sunday morning worship service.  I was given the opportunity to preach during our graduation service.  This message is for more than high school graduates, this is for all of us as believers and followers of Jesus Christ.  We need to be rooted, built up, and established in the Word in order to grow, withstand the storms, and know the real Gospel in the midst of many counterfeits.  The point of the message is, "Our life goal: Be rooted, built up, and established in Jesus Christ, our Sovereign Savior."  I pray this message is a blessing to you.  Please consider partnering with our ministry by liking, sharing, and subscribing to this podcast.  If you are so inclined, please leave a comment and that will help us spread the good news of the Gospel and help make disciples among the nations.  Thank you and God bless.

This message was given on May 12th, 2021 during our Wednesday Night Student Service.  This is the first of several messages from the book of James and I am excited to start this series.  In this introduction we discuss when the book of James was written, who the author is, why it was written, and why we are going to study this book.  The overall theme for the series is "Faith produces Actions", and the point of this message is, "If James was able to surrender his life to his brother, what is keeping you from fully surrendering to Jesus Christ?"  I pray this is a blessing to you, as well as the remainder of this series. Please consider helping this podcast by liking, subscribing, and sharing, in order to help us spread the Gospel and grow our audience.  God bless you and thank you for listening.

This message was given on Sunday May 16th, 2021 at Baymeadows Baptist Church during our Sunday evening service.  This message is an encouragement to believers to share the good news of the Gospel with a lost society.  Jesus reveals Himself to an unnamed Samaritan woman and she immediately goes and tells her entire town about Jesus.  She doesn't allow her past, her inexperience, or the labels that society has put on her to keep her from sharing her story and inviting people to Jesus.  I pray this is an encouraging message to you to have the desire and confidence to share what Jesus did for you with those in your world.  Please consider partnering with the ministry by liking, sharing, subscribing, and giving a review on iTunes.  I appreciate your support and your willingness to help me share the Gospel with the world.  God bless.

This message was presented on April 18th, 2021 during our Sunday night worship service.  Prayer is pivotal to the life of a Christian.  Jesus lived a life of prayer and gave us a road map on how to pray here in Luke 11.  I pray this will be a blessing and an encouragement to you in your walk with the Lord.  Please considered partnering with this ministry by praying, sharing and subscribing to the podcast.  God Bless you.

This message was given April 14th, 2021 during our Wednesday Night Student service.  I normally teach every other week, and another Student Leader teaches.  This particular week I was not supposed to teach, but something came up last minute and I needed to teach.  I had not prepared anything this week, so when I got home I started praying and He gave me this.  I pray it is a blessing to you and an encouragement in your walk with the Lord.  Please consider partnering with this ministry by praying, sharing, and subscribing to this podcast.  God bless you.

This message was given during our Friday Night Open Gym on March 26th, 2021 at Baymeadows Baptist Church.  We have an Open Gym at our church each quarter.  We play games, eat some food, and preach the Gospel.  This is an outreach event for students who don't typically come to church, but will come for games and food.  I focused this week on 2 Corinthians 5 when Paul spoke about being changed by the Gospel and now we are ambassadors for Christ.  At the end of the message, I asked who in the room would commit to sharing the Gospel, and every student stood up.  You can hear it in the audio.  Praise the Lord!  If they stay true to this commitment, it will change their worlds and start a revival in Jacksonville.  And, it means that the next Open Gym should be completely packed!  This week we had almost 30 students and 6 adults.  I can't wait to see what God has in store for us next time.

I pray this message is a blessing and an encouragement to you in your walk with the Lord.  Please consider contributing to 2:20 Ministries by listening, sharing, and subscribing to the podcast.  Thank you and God Bless.

This message was given on March 21st, 2021 during our Sunday Evening service at Baymeadows Baptist Church.  This message is based off of Paul's charge to Timothy to preach the Word!  We need to get busy preaching the Word of God in our society in order to get the Gospel out to the world, and keep the false teachings out of the church of Jesus Christ.  The false teaching of progressive "christianity" is at an all time high and has made its way into the evangelical church.  If we aren't prepared to fight the battle against false teachings, then we will be overtaken.  Read the word, study the word, preach the word, live the word!  I pray this message is a blessing to you and encourages you in your walk with the Lord.  Please help me share the good news of the Gospel by listening, sharing, and subscribing to the podcast.  You can find 2:20 Ministries on all major podcast providers.  Thank you and God bless.

This message was given on Sunday February 28th, 2021 during our Sunday night service.  I delivered this message a few weeks ago to the students on a Wednesday night.  During this message, I gave more in depth definitions of Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality, and Wokeness; and how each of these have found and have been welcomed into the American Evangelical Church.  I pray that this message blesses you and helps you see that Marxist, anti-God, man made philosophies have no place in the church and that scripture is sufficient.  Please consider supporting this ministry by sharing and subscribing to the podcast.  I hope to bring some new content soon.  Thank you and God bless.

This message was presented on Wednesday January 20th, 2021 during our Wednesday Student service at Baymeadows Baptist Church.  This message was geared toward a student audience in reference to the dangers of Social Media, and how it is destroying our culture and how our children are being attacked.  Social Media has become, as I refer to it, "the golden calf" of our society.  It is addictive and destructive to our families, our children, and society.  I highly recommend watching "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix as a follow up to this message.  There is also an "Adult Audience" version of this message that is available.  Thank you for listening to this podcast.  If it is a blessing, please help me spread the good news of the Gospel by subscribing and sharing.  I promise you, my intentions are not for personal gain, but to bring the Gospel around the world, and encourage the church of God.  You can find this podcast on all major podcast providers, as well as my podcast platform, Anchor.

Hello Listeners!  This message was presented on August 23rd, 2020 during our Sunday morning service at Baymeadows Baptist Church.  If you've listened to this podcast, you know that I've recorded this message previously and posted it during the height of the pandemic.  I have never preached this message at my church and felt that it was an appropriate time to share it.  Our world can be very heart breaking.  There is so much surrounding us that can cause depression, worry, and anxiety.  I felt like this was a good time to remind everyone that we don't look to our circumstances for our joy, we look to God.  When our eyes are fixed on Him, "the things of this world will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace."  I pray this message will bless you and remind you to focus on Jesus, as He is the source of Joy in All Circumstances.  I apologize for some of the sound quality issues.  I tried to fix them all, but some were beyond my capabilities.  Thank you so much for listening and supporting this podcast.  Please share and subscribe in order for us to continue to spread the good news of the Gospel the world.  You can find 2:20 Ministries on all major podcast platforms, on my provider, Anchor.fm, and on Faithcasts.com.  Visit Faithcasts.com to discover great Christian podcasts like this one to help you keep the faith.  God bless.
