the after party // Monday E-Devotion

2 Corinthians 8:1  (nlt) --- Now I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, what God in his kindness has done through the churches in Macedonia.
 
Yesterday was a huge celebration at The Community Fellowship with lots of friends, family and visitors.  As I looked around and saw new faces and some old friends, I had a thought that we need to talk about as Christians.  The party doesn't end.
 
Do you remember the after parties after the prom or other special events?  They were awesome because friends got together and really kicked off new stuff.  That is what we did yesterday.  We were getting ready for the party and work to continue.  God is not done with us.  Think about it.
 
There are still lost people around us.  There are people with needs.  There are situations that we can help with, and we can make a difference for a long, long time.  This pastor's commitment is just that.  I want to make a difference.
 
So, let me invite you to the after party.  Whether it is through worship, Bible study, fellowship, work, cleaning or anything, God has some plans for us.  It is time, once again, to see God and to see His work.  And get busy!
 
1 Chronicles 16:37  (nlt) --- David arranged for Asaph and his fellow Levites to serve regularly before the Ark of the Lord's Covenant, doing whatever needed to be done each day.
 
Matthew 9:38  (nlt) ---So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.
 
Nehemiah 2:18  (nlt) --- Then I told them about how the gracious hand of God had been on me, and about my conversation with the king.They replied at once, "Yes, let's rebuild the wall!" So they began the good work.
 
I love the story of Nehemiah and how God led him and the people around him (this Sunday we are going to watch God work in that story again).  Even though the city was a wreck, God wasn't done.  Remember this: people often miss God because they think something is impossible.
 
Mark 10:27  (nlt) --- Jesus looked at them intently and said, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.
 
The Community Fellowship is here because God made it possible, and the work is getting done, lives are being changes because everything is possible with God!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
