City Code officer okays the Summer Work

Wow, Praise the Lord. It seemed absolutely insurmountable. Our building is an old tank factory and the portion farthest away from the sanctuary had a wall fall down last winter. The testimonies of God's goodness go on and on. We needed some finances to even get the project started plus we were on a time limit imposed by the city. Our building had a crane that we took down and sold for scrap. Thing is it didn't come down easily and we faced it being a problem that could have stopped us dead in our tracks...BUT God is our refuge in times of trouble. We really had to fight the thought that it couldn't be done...and that we'd have to give up our building. We worked steadily one task at a time. Pastor John worked despite sore hands and body aches. Church members gave up their weekends and days off and helped us. We've got more things to do with our building....we are believing God for the finances and the ability to complete all task. With God all things are possible.

The Lord's Prayer Sung by 2 year old

I found this really cute video of a little girl singing the Lord's Prayer. It really blessed me....I hope you'll sing and pray along.

It's a busy summer

We've been working hard on the church building and things are coming along slowly but surely. We declare that this is God's project and the building will be completed ...He is our source in all things. We will finish what must be finished this summer and begin to save toward the future stages of the projects....knowing that God is able to finance without hinderence what He has called into being.

The Bible says that spiritual songs can be a source of encouragement and teaching. That means it is very important that we watch what we sing....and that we sing we listen to the words. Music gets into our soul (our mind, will and emotion) like few things can.

Sister Ruth's sermon was on the Revelation of Christ: The Alpha and the Omega. As I listened to the cd I realized I mispoke once and called John the Apostle...John the baptist. Click here twice to hear the message and to find my blooper.

A Crowd or a Movement

Last year when Micaiah Ministries came Bro. Kent expounded on the subject “A Crowd or a Movement“. A crowd can be good, but if that crowd doesn’t advance in the things of God they are nothing more than seat fillers. Kent talked about the charismatic revival of the late 60’s and early 70’s when “Jesus People” got a heart for those around them. They desired that people be changed from the inside out…not simply be part of a crowd. This was a time of war in Vietnam, war protest, and racial upheaval, sounds a little like today. With a desire toward discipleship, evangelism and Bible study revival fires broke out simultaneously in many parts of the nation. The gospel changes people. Today is a time like that…a time when we need passion for the things of God. We can look at our world now and see similarities to the birth of the “Jesus People” movement. What does God want to birth in you and through you?

I found a great Memorial Day Video 2008

that I'd love to share. It shows our military and the work and sacrifices they make for us....we appreciate what they do for us and for the countries where they are located. Many thanks to Godtube that enables us to share videos and place them on our web-sites and to the person who uploaded it.

Micaiah Ministries will be coming to the church August 24th to visit us again. I’ve been pondering their sermons from last year for the last month. Brother Todd talked about Faith that finds a way. He talked about the four men who cooperated together to bring their sick friend to Jesus. He reminded us that doing God’s will requires something more from us. One statement Todd made keeps coming back to me again and again….”We really don’t believe something unless it alters the way we do things.” I’ve been blessed to hear testimonies of our folks speaking to others in new and different ways about the gospel beyond the four walls. I have confidence that as a church we will continue to make the commitment to listen to the Spirit of God being willing to “find means or a way” to do what Jesus asks us to do. Another statement Todd made in his sermon was, “What we find important we will make time for!” I’ve been challenge all over again by this message and I hope it will stir your heart too.

Stir it Up

Pastor John brought dark coca mixes to church and plugged in the coffee maker for hot water. Volunteers from the audience showed that even a drink that taste wonderful needs to be stirred up to get the full effect. Listen in as Pastor John reveals things that our Heavenly Father tells us need to be stirred up within our hearts for the best effect.
