stay faithful


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.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
