Pray for Your Church

Dear Church family -
 
Our ONE PRAYER message for this weekend is "Lord, Make Us Dangerous".  This is also the day where we make the final choice for The Community Fellowship and the House of Prayer to become one.  This is a time that we must seek the Lord, trust His leading and be one.  It is not easy to be one.  The reason it is not easy is because we have declared war on our enemy, Satan, and said YES to God.
 
I am excited, in a big way, about the message for Sunday morning.   You will be hearing one of the best communicators in the world.  We will be challenged to dig deeper, work harder and trust God more.  It takes all of us to be the church and have the impact that God has called us to be and to have.
 
As we have said earlier, God is preparing us to be more effective to reach more people for Him.  Sunday evening at 6 pm there will be two meetings for the people of both churches.  At the House of Prayer, their members are asked to come for a business meeting where they will discuss becoming a part of The Community and decide on the process.  At The Community Fellowship, there will be a town hall meeting where we will discuss the process of how the two churches become one.  These are important meetings, and you are an important part of your church's decision to follow God's direction for the future.
 
What an honor it is for me to be your pastor.  I pray that God will unify us in ways we have not even thought of yet.  That means we have to join our hearts together in walking with Jesus and join our hands in the work that He has given us to do.  I am excited about the future.  I pray you are as well.
 
Please know that I am open to conversations and questions.  Don't hesitate to call on me at any time.  My home phone number is 647-4749; the church phone is 647-TCF1 (8231); my mobile phone is 732-7749.  This process that we are about to engage in will be so profitable, but it will also have some things that we need to talk through and work together on.
 
By choosing to work together, we will be demonstrating the love of God to our community in bigger ways than we ever have before.  I am praying for each of you!

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
