I have to say, it was one of my least charismatic but most urgent message I’ve ever spoken at CSM. I talked about defeating pirates in the second week of our How To Kill A Ninja (and other like-minded villians) series as inspired by Josh Shipp’s book. Pirates are people that will take advantage of [...]

January 22nd, 2011 joshherndon This past week a freshman boy died at one of our local high schools. His cousin is in our ministry. We recognized him, prayed for him, and shared in his sorrows. I spoke out of James 1 about not just hearing God’s word but doing it! This death was a reminder that life is temporary [...]
CSM Review: 1/14/11
January 17th, 2011 joshherndon We started a new series, “How to Kill a Ninja (and other like-minded villains) this past week. Its inspiration came from a book that a friend-of-a-friend contributed to. This week we talked about “How to Kill a Ghost”. In short, a ghost is past memories, mistakes, or lies that we let control our future. The [...]

January 7th, 2011 joshherndon Jeff Devoll, head of Studentreach, spoke at CSM tonight. It was a hysterical message about “waking up” from the slumber of apathy and jumping into a divine adventure. One of my youth leaders summed up the night, when he said “excellent!” My favorite moment was sitting back and listening to Jeff! Did I mention this [...]
CSM Review 12/3/10
December 7th, 2010 joshherndon Tonight’s topic was about pain and stress. We looked at pain not just as something to avoid, but something that God could be using. In times of stress/pain: God wants to build our character/endurance, or God wants to change our direction. I asked the students to assess the stress/pain in their lives. Is God trying [...]

November 20th, 2010 joshherndon With thanksgiving around the corner I felt the social pressure to talk about being thankful. So I did so in sharing my top 10 things I’m thankful for. My number 1 thing I was thankful for was the cross. So how should we show our thankfulness for the cross? By utilizing it. What good is [...]

November 14th, 2010 joshherndon After a week off from CSM because of Youth Convention, we came back strong with a solid night. I talked from 1 John 4:21 about how we must love each other– even those who we don’t like. So I outlined what the difference is between “liking” someone and “loving” someone. Most notably, liking someone means [...]

October 30th, 2010 joshherndon This Friday was… kinda weird. There was a 5-day weekend for a big chunk of our students (causing a mass exodus for college visitations and vacations) and a lot of sickies. What do you do on a week when you know that nothing is going to go according to plan? Don’t be discouraged. It’s easy [...]
Central Seminary Seminar #1
October 25th, 2010 joshherndon Tonight we hold our first Central Seminary Seminar! It’s the part of our discipleship program where students will be given practical instruction on their faith, relationships, and life. I’m also really excited about it because it’s the one time where all of our discipleship students are alone in the same place at the same time. [...]
CSM Review 10/8/10
October 9th, 2010 joshherndon It was an exhausting week for me. I lead our high school’s spiritual emphasis week, had a service day on Friday, and unveiled our missions trip destination to Haiti! The future looks like help is coming. Central Seminary students are coming before and staying later to help set up and clean up our weekly setup. [...]
