Everything that happens to us, good or bad, can be used by God to transform us into the masterpieces that he created us to be.

Transformation
Everything that happens in our life, good or bad, can be used to transform us into the masterpiece that God created us to be. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, and have been called according to his purpose." -Romans 8:28. Learn to trust in God, not life's treasures. Look for your security in heaven, not on earth. -Pastor Mike
Worry
I let "worry" get ahold of my life at times. How about you? Jesus said in Luke 12: 25, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?" That's is so true. God promises the Kingdom and tells us to serve others. Stop worrying and keep busy! -Pastor Mike
Voices
We often joke about the "voices in our heads". We do have many worldly voices who are competing for our attention. Often it is hard to know which one to follow. Jesus says, in John 10: 4b, "...and his sheep follow him because they his voice." Need the right advice? Look to the Bible and listen for the Holy Spirit when you go to God in prayer. -Pastor Mike
Rock
"Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, is the Rock eternal." - Isaiah 26:4. Come to the Lord with all your cares and problems. Trust in him to answer them, in his time and in his way. Do not be worried or concerned...God will will provide. -Pastor Mike
Lamp
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." - Psalm 119: 105. God's path does not always line up with our own or the one the world presents us with. Remember Jesus' words to Peter, "Follow me!". Rely on God's way! - Pastor Mike
Criticizing Others
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven." -Luke 6:37. So does Jesus mean that we should just ignor our brother's sins? No, but we must constructively assist them to repent and be healed. Remember the adulterous woman that was about to be stoned? Did jesus just rip on her and te
Temptation
We are all tempted on a daily basis. The World messes with our heads and makes us think that we will be more complete if we allow our temptations to rule us. Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that God will never give us more temptation than we can bear and will always provide a way out. Open yourself up to His help! -Pastor Mike
Plans
God has a plan for each one of us. "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go: I will counsel you and watch over you." -Psalm 32: 8. God does not want us to worry about the future. If you sometimes fall into that trap, repent, turn to Jesus, and ask him to show you the next step in your life plan. Exhale! God has you covered. -Pastor Mike
Thankfulness
Colossians 4:2 states, "Devote yourself to prayer, being watchful and thankful." We all have much to be thankful for. Spending time with God each morning in prayer emphasizing what we are thankful for protects us from negative thinking. Walk purposefully with God and see where he directs you to spread his gospel of love. -Pastor Mike
