Ever Wonder Why?

Mark 8:22-26 talk about Jesus meeting a blind man at Bethsaida. The Bible says that Jesus took him outside the city and healed him and then told him not to enter the city nor tell anyone in that city what happened to him. Ever wonder why? See you at church in the morning :) Don't forget Sunday School begins at 10am and Worship Service at 11am. I will see the men downstairs for prayer at 10:45 am. Have a blessed night.

Hard Times Will Come

 Nothing can keep us from grace, except for our own foolish pride. 2 Corinthians 12:9 Paul wrote about talking with God, and His response for Paul's problems was "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." God was reminding Paul that even if he was having problems, he wasn't go through them alone. God grace was sufficient for Paul's needs as it is for ours. When we are brought about as low as we can go, God's strength brings us back up again. A key to success through God is to let go of what you think you can do and let Him do a work on and through you. Reading on, we find that Paul's advice to Corinth was not to hang our head and give up when hard times come, but to glory in them because that's when Christ can shine through our lives and we are made strong through Him. 1 John 4:4 says..."greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." You can be an overcomer, you can have victory, but not by yourself; we overcome through Christ because he has overcome already (John16:33). The Psalmist says, "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord" (Psalms 121:1-2).

New Pastor!

Last night was rather eventful. After delivering the sermon, I accepted Pastorship of Gilliam Chapel. I was received with welcoming arms and the love of our church. I couldn't have asked for a better reception. I'm so excited about the direction we are heading and I'm in need of a lot of prayer. It's time to move forward and walk through the doors God has opened. God Bless you and have a wonderful day.

Pushing the Reset Button

We got some members from our church together the other day and went bowling. Most of us hadn't been in a long time. Have you ever had one of those bowling lanes that just didn't work? That was ours, lane 17. We spent the whole night pushing the reset button in between every roll. I was so frustrated having to do that over and over again. Then I thought about how we as Christians can get stuck, don't want to work, and feels like we're always asking to be fixed. It's time for God to push our reset button. Did you know that the worst place that a Christian can be in is the place where we feel like we don't need to ask for help or forgiveness? David asked God in Psalm Ch. 51 to renew in him a right spirit, restore the joy of his salvation, and only then would he be able to teach transgressors His ways and sinner would be converted. We need to open our Bible and pray this scripture aloud to God, because we all need a renewing of His Spirit. We all need our reset button pushed. We all need Revival! I'm not just talking about an all-week church service, but a revival in our heart and minds. We need to get to that place that God wants us to be in, not where we feel it's o.k. to be. Read Psalm 51 and pray for your revival today.
