Your Faith

This was my sermon for last week and I thought it would be cool to share alittle about it. I came across a bunch of verses in Luke ex. (Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well.") Look at the part "YOUR FAITH" Interesting Jesus is God and he has probably passed a bunch of sick people but this guy gets healed and Jesus says to Him.. "YOUR FAITH" I think alot of times people view the church as kind of a nursery.. safe colors, encouraging messages, and it becomes without knowing it this breeding ground for people to come back every week with no empowerment to be the people that God has calles us to be. Jesus said because of your faith! What kind of Faith are we carrying around? Jesus said in matthew if you have the faith of a mustard seed you can say to this mountain be moved! ALl it takes is for us to mustard up a little faith LOL... Think of how many Christians sit around and wait to be feed when it's time for us to realize we are empowered, and motivated to do something incredible. It's like in Hebrews when Paul is talking about still drinking baby's milk when we should be eating solid food. Here are three ways for you to with God's help to have more faith in your life.
1. Take Chances
2. Use Opportunities
3. Dream Big

Mexico 2009

All,

Do you have moments in your life where you are so thankful for what God has given you and you realize how blessed you are? Well taking 45 youth to Mexico again this summer is one of those moments for me. It's not because i get to go out of the country or any other reason, other than I love the people at my church! I love the youth, I love their stories! I love their testimonies! I love their laughs! and their tears! I love being Pastor John and even when that comes as good or bad.

We had such a great time working in the colonials and serving the church. I just wanted to drop a line because I haven't wrote in a lil bit and I felt like this was such a cool experience. God is Good all the time!
