The Great Commission and the willingness to go wherever Jesus tells me to go.

Here's my last talk from Big Break 2013, in which we talk about the Great Commission and what it means to follow Jesus and go wherever he asks. I talk some about the Balangao people, and you can learn more about the ministry among the Balangao here. You can also see more about Cru's pledge that they're inviting college students to sign here.

Where is God when horrible things happen? Some thoughts about Lazarus and the resurrection.

My talk on Lazarus and the resurrection is a favorite of mine. My talk starts around the one hour and seven minutes mark.

Here's my talk on the Image of God from #BigBreak13

One of the things I loved about this talk was that someone would always scream in the audience at a Certain Point. Also, this particular week I briefly interviewed Amy Simmons. Amy was in town, so we set it up for me to interview her in the middle of my talk!

If you start this at the one hour mark you'll get to see the MC, Shelby Abbott, and part of his hilarious adventures in filming nature.

My #bigbreak13 talk about taking on the easy yoke of Jesus

Throughout the day I'll be posting my talks from Big Break for your viewing pleasure. Or displeasure, as the case may be. But I hope for your pleasure. Here's the first talk, the one I would give each week on the first night of Big Break. It's from Matthew 11, about how Jesus invites us to put on his easy yoke and follow him.

My talk starts at about the 59 minute mark (the whole evening is on the video).

Opening our Eyes to See the Invisible: Talk Four at Big Break

Open our eyes, that we might see....

 

The Love that Makes God Visible: My third talk at "Big Break"

Jesus loves you, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.

 

God Made Visible: My second "Big Break" talk

The theme of this year's Big Break was "Visible" so in this presentation I talk about how Christ is the image of the unseen God... he makes God visible to us and our sins invisible to God.

Living Water: my first "Big Break" talk

I spent much of this last month in Panama City Beach, Florida for the Big Break conference. I spoke four nights a week for three weeks, to about three thousand college students.

The first night of the conference I did this talk, which was a sort of spiritual diagnostic as we prepared for the week... how are you feeling about your connection to God right now?  Over the next few days I'll share the rest of my talks as well.  Enjoy!
