great Sunday ahead

Hey Community family,

I missed being with you last Sunday, and I am so grateful that you guys allowed me to be away with my family for my grandmother's funeral.  The time with family was so good.  It is tough living so far away from them.  We got to see and spend time with people we haven't seen in a long, long time.

Please know that you have my heart, and that this sermon series, CONSUMED, is literally consuming my thoughts.  I believe that God is prepping us for greater and GREATER days.  That has little to do with what we can do and lots to do with what God will do.  He is awesome.  This Scripture from Romans changes lives as it has mine.  Especially this sermon has some pieces that I pray will be real in me and in my response and love for others.

I am also praying for each of you.  May God teach us His truth that will consume our lives.  May God transform our lives so that we look more and more live Jesus.  May God consume our actions so that people see and meet Jesus as we respond to God.  I am praying that many people will be saved as our passion for Him grows.

More to come.  Thank you for praying for our community to come to know God and to be totally changed.  We are a part of that change as we demonstrate the love of God to our community one person at a time.

With GOD as my guide,

Pastor Michael

James 1:5

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 ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
