Today

How do you feel about today?  Whatever your answer is, your yesterday most likely has much to do with it.  The choices we make in response to both the good or the challenges of yesterday are impacting our today.

What choices will you make today?  Today was yesterday’s tomorrow.  This means your FUTURE IS NOW.

Will you live today mostly in response to yesterday or will you make choices truly with tomorrow as your motivation?  Our Heavenly Father tells us not to worry about tomorrow and to focus on today (Mt. 6:34).

Join me Sunday and lets discover how focusing on today will assure us a better tomorrow.  You won’t want to miss this one because your future is now

Usable

Are you usable?  Its up to you!  Your Heavenly Father created you for a purpose (Gen. 1:27-28).  Jesus makes a way even with our short-comings (1 John 2:1).  The Holy Spirit will enable you (John 1:15-17).

If God is for you, and He is, who can stand against you?  The answer is:  only you.  Fear and doubt are the tools the enemy wants to use to keep you from being useful.  Fear of failure or loss, doubt of our ability, and God’s faithfulness to supply all our needs are some of the tactics of the enemy.

The truth is, you will never really know who you are in Christ, what you are able to do through the power of the Holy Spirit, or fulfill God’s purpose until you overcome doubt and fear.

Do you want to be an over-comer – to become as usable as possible?  Step out and begin doing something for God’s Kingdom (Matthew 6:38).  Seeking God always involves serving a purpose (Ephesians 3:10).

I love my church!  Come Sunday and bring an friend!

SEEK

Seek: to search for (someone or something)

In Matthew 16, Jesus left us with the promise that He would build His Church, and that nothing could come against it. Because of His Resurrection we know we can rely on that promise.

Do we think about church the same way we think about going to the DMV, the doctor’s office, or the grocery store? Is this just a place that we feel we “have” to go to or is there more to it? Think about people who aren’t here with us today or maybe people who haven’t stepped into a church in a long time or ever. I’d be willing to guess that some of them would describe coming to church like we describe going to the DMV, and based on their experiences, they probably wouldn’t be far off from the truth.

Is that what God intended when He created the church? Was that His idea about this community of people? I believe the Bible tells us that no, that wasn’t nor is God’s plan for the church.

You don’t want to miss this Sunday!
