Nate did a great job with his message yesterday. God has gifted him as a teacher and communicator of His word, and it’s neat for me to see him develop and use his gifts. Now, I do want to clear one thing up. I didn’t tell Nate not to use Georgia Tech as an illustration. [...]

A good friend called me Monday to talk about the Project Kids Space offering. He and his wife (and now kids) have been with us since almost day 1. In fact, I met him on the basketball court 1 year before we moved to Grayson. To say that he is committed to Graystone is a [...]

How to keep it all together

With the beginning of a new school year and our 3 kids in 3 different schools across Snellville, Grayson and Loganville plus we are relaunching Graystone Church (I.e. a lot more work goes into a rocket launch than when it is simply orbiting), we are having a hard time keeping it all together. In my [...]

Let me start off by saying that Sam Jones brought his A game on Sunday. The kid was slinging the sticks. I love Brody’s energy. And how about Kelci’s pipes? Those are 3 amazingly talented teenagers! It is AWESOME to see them using their God-given abilties to serve HIM. Hopefully, they can continue to be [...]
It was a “God moment”!

Life is full of the mundane. No explanation needed. You know what I am talking about. Then, every once in a while, God let’s us experience a “special moment”. Yesterday, during the offering song of the 11:00 service was one of those moments. The ushers were collecting the offering as they do 52 Sundays a [...]

Jim Hollandsworth is Graystone’s Executive Pastor. Last week, a series of the most deadly tornadoes to hit the U.S. in 80 years devastated many parts of the Southeast. I’m sure many of you have seen the pictures. It’s unimaginable. Right now, there are people who have lost everything and are trying to rebuild their lives. [...]
