stay faithful


John 8:31 NLT
Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings.

It is summer. Many people are traveling and enjoying this time of the year.  Remember to stay faithful.  God hasn’t stepped away.  He has stayed close to us all the time.  Make a commitment to do the same.

Stay close to God. Stay faithful.

Proverbs 11:24-25 MSG
 “The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller. The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.”

Let your world grow. Help your family grow.  Choose for your faith to fly high and stay extra strong.

How is God calling you to be generous?  With our lives, be generous.  With our work, we choose to be generous.  With our finances, our money and all our resources, we will be generous.  All that is true because God has been generous to us.

If you are part of The Community Fellowship, I ask that you stay faithful this summer in your attendance, in your serving and in your giving.  Remember that you can give online.  Go to thecommunityfellowship.org and click GIVE ONLINE.  Choose where your donation will go.  Give to the “general fund” and help with the day to day ministry, benevolent and operation of the church.  Choose the “vision fund” to help with the completion of our new campus.  Click “back 2 school” to be part of the 2018 outreach to students.  Choose “the community dream center” to help with our transitional house, homeless or feeding ministry.  

It takes all of us to do what God has called us to do.  Take your next step full of generosity as you remain faithful!

1 Timothy 6:18  NLT
Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others.

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
