stories of life change

I talked to a friend yesterday from a CrossPoint church here in our area.  He told me about a lady and her kids who came to their church after someone assisted them.  While there the kids had a rough time, but someone volunteered to help, stepped in to care for her child.  A few minutes later the lady accepted Jesus.
 
Not many weeks ago we had something similar happen as one of our ladies connected with a family due to our Angel Tree outreach.  This precious lady cares for 3 of her grandchildren.  She asked Jesus into her life a couple weeks ago after being with us several Sundays.
 
That is just two stories about how God is changing lives.  What is most exciting to me about these and other stories like them is that God is using relationships people build to win others to himself.  Are we connecting with people so God can use us to lead others to himself?
 
Matthew 5:16 (nasb) --- Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
 
We are looking forward to a special guest this Sunday at The Community.  Mike and Marsha Edens and their little boy Isaac will be with us.  Their story will big time bless you and remind you that God wants to touch your life and is concerned about everything that touches you, his child.  Take a look at Isaac's website and come see us Sunday 10:10 a.m. if you are close by.
 
Share stories of life change.  Let God get the glory and tell the stories of what He is doing and wants to do in others.
 
In a phone conversation with another friend this morning who is partnering with our church I heard how life change is happening through Samaritan's Feet.  Click here to see what they are about.
 
We must be about the things that really do matter.  Take sometime this weekend to be involved in and to share stories of life change.  God is at work!
 
Colossians 1:6 (nlt) --- This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God's wonderful grace.

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
