Song
What song are you listening to today? A wordly song of chaos, or a heavenly song? "The Lord God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." - Zephaniah 3:17. There is immense power and substance in listening to God's song and what he has planned for you! -Pastor Mike
Disciple
I recently began to work with a young man on his spiritual path. While always considering himself a Christian, he recently decided that he wanted an intimate relationship with his Savior, Jesus Christ. The speed of his transformation is amazing, and I give God all the glory. 2 Corinthians 3:18 talks about this. Take time to read it today. -Pastor Mike
Sync
As a Christian, I often face tension living with those who are a part of an unbelieving world, a world that is out of sync with Jesus, the Bible , and fellow Christians. I am comforted by the fact that I am in sync with God. "...In this world you will have trouble. but take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33b. -Pastor Mike
Trust
Do you really trust God? Do you feel confident that he will make things happen in his time frame? Or do you push ahead, trying to make things go your way? Jesus said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me." - John 14:1. Listen and watch for God's presence. He is with you right now! -Pastor Mike
Faith
I would often tell my weeding crew to have faith and think "square foot, by square foot", so that they would not be overwhelmed by a yard-full of weeds. When we recieved the Holy Spirit, God gave us the power to live beyond what we could do on our own. "We live by faith, not by sight." God has some huge plans for you! - 2 Corinthians 5:7. -Pastor Mike
A Shield
The word of the Lord is flawless and impenetrable. The word of God and belief in God is not a crutch as some people would say it is, but rather is a shield that can protect us when we are too weak to face certain trials. It also strenghtens us to be ready to go out and battle evil. "...He (God) is a shield for all who take refuge in him." -Psalm 30b. -Pastor Mike
In Us
The world is a needy place and is not where we should go to be filled up. Instead, find yourself in Christ, so that you can go out and meet the needs of others. "No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." -1 John 4:12 -Pastor Mike
Turn
Always turn to God first when you are in a bind, want to thank him for a favor, need something, or just need to talk and listen. "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." -Matthew 6:33. -Pastor Mike
Perserverance
Every task that I have can be completed with God's help and as he develops perserverance in me. "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perserverance." -James 1:2-3. - Pastor Mike
Paid in Full
No one can add to what Jesus did to save us. Our past, present, and future sins are all forgiven, if we have accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior. "Therefore, he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them." - Hebrews 7:25. Trust and live close to Jesus! - Pastor Mike
