WOW... overwhelmed

 



Wow.  I am overwhelmed by all that has taken place over the weekend.  Last week I shared what was taking place and even asked you to pray over each one.


Colossians 1:3  NLT  

We always pray for you, and we give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.


I will begin with the mission trip that 14 people from our church were blessed to be part of.  We traveled to Virginia Beach to be part of the Serve Tour.  58 churches from 13 different states partnered together to complete 40 different projects.  What excited me the most was to watch our team from The Community Fellowship grow closer and closer.  God was working.  We complete several projects from flower beds at schools, a wall at an animal shelter, helping with a roof, sharing the Gospel door to door on what is called a grill walk, sharing the Gospel on the beach and more.  It was awesome.


Move on to Emmaus as 6 ladies from our church had a lifetime of God’s goodness over a three day period.  I can not wait to hear what God did, but what I have heard already makes me smile knowing that God did some amazing things.  They, their families and our church will not be the same.


Now on to Raceway Ministries Martinsville.  Normally I get to be there all weekend, but I went to the mission trip and then Sunday at the speedway.  It was amazing to hear about the conversations, the worship services, the way things seemed to weave together with other ministry that was going on.  But what I loved the most is watching our people love on and serve others.  And it went on for four days.  Please pray for those who heard about Jesus to respond.


Our church service Sunday at The Community Fellowship included testimonies and a challenge to serve.  A young man, 21 years old Hayden Tobin from Forgotten Ministries in Oklahoma, challenged us to think about and change what is keeping us from serving.  It was awesome.


Again I ask you to pray.  Pray for our church and yours.  Pray that we will come so close to Jesus, hearing His love for us and His desire for us to serve that we do just that.  Take the opportunity to serve.


Joshua 22:5  NLT  

But be very careful to obey all the commands and the instructions that Moses gave to you. Love the Lord your God, walk in all his ways, obey his commands, hold firmly to him, and serve him with all your heart and all your soul.”

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...
