As our Mid County Campus marks one year this Sunday and Brazos Pointe Fellowship celebrates its 18thBirthday I can tell you it never gets old seeing people step over the line of faith or take their next step with God in this church for the unchurched. It’s always a cause for celebration and thanksgiving.

A few weeks ago I attended the March for Life as part of my role on the 2018 Leadership Council of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). March for Life is a massive annual gathering in Washington DC of countless pro-life groups and organizations to peacefully protest the Supreme Court’s decision decades ago to legalize the taking of innocent unborn life.

This year I have been invited to serve on the 2018 Leadership Council of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The ERLC helps churches understand and respond to ever changing ethical issues, as well as engage our culture from a Biblical worldview. I have often looked to the ERLC when seeking to understand how current events impact our mission of guiding people to take their next step with God. 

What do they have in common? Not much until recently here at Brazos Pointe Fellowship. Now they’re companions. Though I’d heard of message (or sermon) based small groups, I learned about their value at a preaching conference I attended back in January.
