David and Jonathan

Last updated on: September 21, 2015 at 4:10 pm   By Scott Slayton

(We are currently in a series on the life of David at Chelsea Village. As I’ve written before I attempt to write a full manuscript of my sermon before preaching. Throughout this series I’ll be posting some of the sermons I think will be helpful. If you would rather listen to the sermon, you can find it here.) Last week when we were at the beach a little girl ran up to my seven-year old daughter and said, “My name... Read more

The State of Alabama vs. Jesus

Last updated on: September 16, 2015 at 12:36 pm   By Scott Slayton

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22:36-39 When Jesus said “love your neighbor as yourself” he was not introducing a new teaching. “Love the Lord your God with all your... Read more

Donald Trump, King Solomon, and Southern Evangelicals

Last updated on: August 31, 2015 at 12:53 pm   By Scott Slayton

In the last few months, Donald Trump vaulted to the lead in the GOP primaries generating an excitement no one in the party has produced in at least the last decade. The fact of his surge was not as surprising as the source of it, conservative Southern evangelicals. Many who say they follow Jesus cheer with each of Trump’s over the top statements, particularly with his insults towards those with whom they disagree. The more Trump excoriates those with whom... Read more

When the “Black Dog” of Depression Bites

Last updated on: August 26, 2015 at 9:10 am   By Scott Slayton

Many people often go through periods of darkness, sadness, and difficulty. Often in our day we call this depression. Our forefathers called it melancholy and Winston Churchill nicknamed it “the black dog.” We often do not know where to turn when we wrestle with bouts of depression. Many times we find ourselves embarrassed because we don’t know how many other people struggle through intense periods of depression too. In addition, depression becomes particularly difficult for the Christian because often in... Read more

Hookups, Porn, Selfish Men, and the Beauty of Marriage

Last updated on: August 14, 2015 at 10:53 am   By Scott Slayton

Nancy Jo Sales talked to singles in Manhattan, Indiana, and Delaware about their experiences with dating and hookups for her Vanity Fair article, “Tinder and the Dawn of the Dating Apocalypse.” In the article, which I must warn you contains a fair amount of graphic language, she shares how the rise of dating apps like Tinder have pushed us past traditional dating rituals and into the era of fast, meaningless hookups. Hookup culture is nothing new, but she argues the... Read more

Why You Should Read the Psalms

Last updated on: August 4, 2015 at 4:56 pm   By Scott Slayton

Yesterday my Bible reading brought me to the Psalms. Wanting to read slowly and meditatively, I sensed my heart begin to stir as I read these prayers and songs composed by God’s people hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus. Because of the wide variety of Psalms, they stir and help the Christian in a myriad of ways. Here are three reasons you need to give greater attention to the Psalms. The Psalms Present Us With a Full-Orbed View... Read more
