Tough weekend for Hendersonville, leads us to prayer

It’s been a tough few days in Hendersonville, as record winds on Friday brought tragedy to several people and power loss to thousands. Even with people unable to attend, we had a strong attendance with lots of passion for Jesus.

Watch the entire service, as Aubrey had some great ministry moments during the worship music.

FULL SERVICE

I preached on the “Structure of Prayer,” and this teaching is very practical, giving you some ideas and tools to connect with God.

Thank you, Salvus Center

The Salvus Center is a Sumner County non-profit inspired by the Biblical mandate to care for the sick and the needy. I have been an advocate for this ministry since its 2004 inception, serving on the Board of Directors since 2014 and as Board Chair since 2019.

July 1 means my term is up, but my enthusiasm for the mission remains! While I will not be part of the legal oversight, my heart is still with the patients and staff, and I believe in our President, Jennifer Flanagan. I am so grateful for the outstanding leaders I have met through this organization, and they have my support going forward.

Thank you, Salvus Center, for an inspiring mission and a great future in health care.

The passing of Pastor Robb Tripp

I want to express my deepest condolences to the Fireplace Fellowship congregation in Hendersonville, who lost Pastor Robb Tripp yesterday. I have partnered with this church since 2006 on various ministry initiatives, and Robb was always kind, funny, and loving. I admire how hard his wife Shanda fought with faith-filled prayers during Robb’s recent health struggles. From his TBN days as a teenager to local church ministry in Hendersonville, Robb lived with great love for Jesus.
