Look Up!

julie — Wed, 02 May 2012 11:29:40 +0000

We are living in days when the church as a whole and the individual believer must rise up with faith in our hearts, and the promises of God on our lips. We exemplify authentic christianity when we praise our Savior and Lord, even during the hard times. The Bible tells us that, “God is not slow in keeping His promises, as some measure slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish.” (2 Peter 3:9). May we all learn to claim Gods’ promises, and never give up, even when we feel like they are slow in coming to pass. Be encouraged and keep looking up. After all, the Word says, “All of God’s promises are yes, positive , and in the affirmative to you.”

In His Love,

Pastor John

They will be ministering to the English speaking children while doing crafts, games, puppets, skits and serving as counselors to a largely agnostic society. They will be sowing eternal seeds in the hearts of children who might not otherwise hear the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ .

Praise, Glorify, Order, and Reap

julie — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:22:08 +0000

Psalms 50:23 states, “Whoever offers praise glorifies Me and to him who orders his conversation correctly, (with righteousness), I will show the mighty salvation of God.”

Oh be careful little tongue what you say, is definitely, and appropriate warning from and old children’s song for us today. Let’s be careful that our conversations are filled with grace and encouragement and seasoned with the salt of God’s faithful word. so that we will be a blessing to the receiver. We can choose to build up or tear down with our thoughts and words, as much or more so than anything else that we have to offer. As the psalmist prayed, ”Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight O Lord.”

I encourage you today to praise someone with your heart and mouth, and start by praising and glorifying the Lord.

Love and Prayers

On Building Our Children

julie — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:24:21 +0000

Deut. 6:6,7, tells us to impress these commandments on our children. When times are tough we cry, “God give us men to match the mountain. God says, “Here’s the building material. I’m giving you children.” Our children are to be developed into champions for God. — “These commandments I give you today are to be upon your hearts.” Parents be the Godly examples. ”Impress them on your children.” Deliberately teach them Gods’ word daily. ”Talk about the principles of God. Your kids won’t catch truth by osmosis; you have to talk it and live it. Watch for opportunities, because teachable moments come and go unannounced. Seize the day and you will find that God is equipping you to build your children up into great young men and women of God. Love your kids today and raise them up to the next level.

Happy New Year

julie — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 01:16:01 +0000

No matter what 2011 looked like, the good and bad; God desires to make all things new. He says in His Word, “behold I do a new thing, even now it shall spring forth”. That’s what I love about the New Year. It’s a time that speaks of a fresh start. Keep in mind that real change must happen internally before it can happen externally. And so we’ve designated January as spiritual emphasis month. We will have several prayer opportunities, along with a unity worship service, and our annual 21 day Daniel Fast planned for Jan. 10 – Jan. 31. We encourage each of you to seek the Lord Jesus with us and experience His wonderful favor in 2012. Your life will never be the same. I really believe that this year is going to be the greatest year of your life!

Love and Prayers

Pastor John

God’s Will

julie — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 21:47:37 +0000

“In everything give thanks for this is God’s will, in Christ Jesus, for you.” Not for everything that comes down the pike but in everything; God is still in control, and His nature is merciful, loving kindness.

I love the Thanksgiving Season, with the fall colors, crisp weather, awesome food, and family love. But the #1 priority is the returning of love and thanks to our Heavenly Father, for His goodness to us! As we take inventory of our blessed lives and begin to count out blessings; on the positive side of life’s ledger, we find that the good far outweighs the bad. When we praise the Lord with a thankful heart we stifle our tendency to complain. God hates murmuring and people can’t stand to hang out with whiners so let’s cheer up and realize the kindness of Jesus to us. ”Forget not all His benefits,” as it were. Let me encourage you to practice God’s will for you this Thanksgiving season.

Thankfully,

Pastor John
