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
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
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
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
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
Transformation
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. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28. Trust in God, not in life's treasures. Know that God is with us! -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
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
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
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
