Preaching, Teaching, Livestream Schedule, Plus Pics

Tomorrow is my first “normal” Sunday at Asbury, as last Sunday was unusual for a variety of reasons, including the fact that it was one big combined service for the entire church. Last Sunday was a really fun day; scroll down for a bunch of pics from my family’s first Sunday at Asbury.

I’m going to continue to introduce myself tomorrow with another sermon that will speak to what I want my ministry at Asbury to be about. (We’ll kick off our fall series through the Book of Genesis next week. BOOM.)

My topic tomorrow? The surest way to blessing that I know.

How do we truly show gratitude?

Everything in life was given to us by those who have come before us, gifts of God given again to us.

What do we do now?

That was my topic for my first Sunday at Asbury.

 
 

Normal Sunday Schedule

  • 8:00 AM in the Chapel. Traditional, small service with organ.

  • 9:30 AM in the Sanctuary. Traditional. Choir and orchestra. Biggest service.

  • 11:00 AM in the Sanctuary. Modern. Band.

All services are livestreamed.

 

New Thursday Schedule!

We had our first-ever Thursday night service this past week. That’s also the plan going forward.

  • 6:00 PM in the Chapel. Relaxed, casual service.

(I’ve asked that we NOT stream nor publish the Thursday evening service. In terms of my preaching calendar, Thursdays precede Sundays; i.e., I’ll preach the same version—or hopefully a much better version!—of my Thursday sermon each following Sunday.)

 
 

Livestream Info

There are three different options for the Asbury livestream.

  1. www.asburytulsa.org. Click on “Watch Live” on the main page.

  2. Facebook: the “Asbury Tulsa” page.

  3. YouTube: the “Asbury Tulsa” channel.

The feed will go live a good amount of time before the hour, so tune in early.

 
 

My Preaching Schedule This Fall

I will be preaching every week* this fall at the schedule above: Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings.

*With two exceptions!

I will be visiting Sunday school classes at Asbury on 10/16 and 11/27, so though I’ll be at church I will NOT be preaching on either 10/16 or 11/27, nor the Thursdays preceding those dates.

Live out of town and wanna visit? We’d love to have you! (Particularly if you have a Texas passport.)

 
 

My Teaching Schedule This Fall

I’m teaching four churchwide Bible studies on the Book of Genesis this fall in the Chapel.

Wednesdays, 6:30 PM

  • 8/17

  • 8/31

  • 10/12

  • 10/26

Each study will be livestreamed.

 

I’m also speaking next Saturday (8/20) at the training event for the leaders of the Asbury Discipleship Communities. My topic? “How to Prepare Folks for Negative World”.
