Come alive: Trust God

Justin Manzey brought the evening's message "Come Alive: Trust God"
The challenge is how much can you put your trust in Jesus?

Ephesians 3:16-20
16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.
18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. 21Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

Where are the fathers?

6/18/2023

1 Comment

On Father's day we look at the role of fathers in our church and community.
What is God's calling on your life? How does a single mom cope?
How do we learn to be fathers?

Ephesians 2:19-20
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household,
20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
Ephesians 4:11-12
11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Acts 19:1 - 20:2
John 3:16

The Best Church

6/11/2023

Last week we learned we're not a perfect church, but may be we are the best church? ?

Ephesians 4:11-12|NIV
11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
2 Corinthians 12:7-10|NIV
7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.
8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.
9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Acts 19:2, 6, 10|NIV
2 and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They answered, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
10 This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.
Acts 11:26|NIV
26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
Ephesians 2:20|NIV
built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
Romans 8:26-27|NIV
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.

Prophetic Word - March 2009 - by late pastor Dave Huebert.
For this is the day the Lord has specifically arranged to meet with this gathering and to motivate and stimulate in your spirits a greater vision and a higher horizon.
For I have come to you in times past, I have blessed, and I will continue to come and bless but I am coming also to change the perspective, I am coming to look at things differently, I am coming to cause you to see things in my eyes and my understanding.
For there has been a contentment in many of the hearts, saying, this is great and this is good, but the Lord brings a discontent in the spirit and is saying, I want an enlargement, and I am going to cause you to think enlargement.
For I have come to renew your minds and to renew your thinking - no longer shall it be the old ways but it shall be new - with new enthusiasm, with new sacrifice, with new giving.
I am going to begin to move upon you and to make the impossible, possible because you have dwelt long enough on the impossible - and said, it can't be done.
But I go back into the history of this city - and those that have labored in years gone by - 30, 40, or 50 years ago, they that labored have staked out a claim and I have not given up this claim says the Lord - and I have looked for a people and I have found heartless people over and over and over again who said, it is impossible. I am going to make the impossible, possible - I am going to make the illogical, logical, and I am going to make the natural, supernatural even as I said to Moses, stand thou here on the rock by Me, so he stood on the rock.
But I go to Abraham and said to Abraham, look from where you are, look from where you are, and as Abraham looked from where he was, he saw a bleak horizon - and he began to journey and the Lord brought him on and on and made the path plain for him and gave him the inheritance of the Lord -
So there is an inheritance of the Lord that is in this place - in this valley, in these hills, and I am about to claim them says the Lord - hearken to the word of the Lord. Say no longer it is impossible - five years ago this was impossible, that which seemed impossible then became possible. I will do more than your expectations have afforded you.
I will renew your mind as you cry out to me - as you search me - and when your mind is renewed, there will be a supernatural revelation of my spirit that will come and faith will wrap itself around the revelation and it shall come to pass, says the Lord.
If you doubt, I will do nothing. I will just let you maintain where you are. But if you allow faith to wrap around the revelation of my will and my purposes, then I will come and I will bend and twist, push and pull. You will be uncomfortable at times but it is all for the good of the kingdom - it is not for you - it is for me, says the Lord.
The claim is only lost when we pull up the stakes and give them to someone else. But I speak in the authority and the anointing of the Holy Spirit "the stakes have not been pulled out." People have pulled on them, they have jerked, they have pushed on them. But I have launched them in the bedrock of this community, says the Lord, and I will not allow them to be tampered with.

The Perfect Church

After 3 weeks of special meetings (Mother's Day testimonies, Cowboy church at the rodeo, and a Sunday wedding), we had a "normal" meeting again.
Pastor Dwayne tells us about our problems and why we're not the perfect church. How God still loves us in spite of our failures and what some basic steps are to please God.

Micah 6:8
8 He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Romans 1:17
17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
John 14:12
12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

Acts 1:8
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
1 Corinthians 12:7-10|NIV
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
