This Sunday I will be preaching the second message in our Matthew series. We will be taking a look at the genealogy of Jesus recorded in Matthew 1:1-17. All week long as I have been studying and preparing for this message, I have just had an overwhelming sense of God’s Grace!
I don’t deserve any of the good that God has allowed me to experience and share! I deserve – well I don’t even want to get into what I deserve, because it ain’t pretty!
If we are all honest – God is better to us than we deserve! Take some time before Sunday to think about God and His grace and how it has made a difference in your life. Also take some time to think about how you can open up your life to receive and appreciate more of God’s grace!
I hope to see you at one of our two campuses on Sunday! Grace to you – until then!

Focus on being rather than doing! What our world needs is people that are what they say they are! We get so caught up in doing the things that we think we are supposed to be doing that we often miss the point. The point of our doing is to make life better, but our doing often becomes more of a habit, routine or frustrated obligation. Most people are active and busy doing, serving and going through the motions of life. The question is: What is your “doing” actually accomplishing?
I am not suggesting that we should stop doing. What I am suggesting is that we take some of the time and energy that we contribute to doing and give it to being. BECOMING is an amazing gift of God! It is in the process of becoming that God does a work in us and through us that only He can do. God has an amazing plan for your life – get out of His way with all of your “doing” activity and let Him help you to “be”! Focus on being and enjoy the process of becoming what God has called, gifted and created you to be! Focus on the “being” and the “doing” will take care of itself!
You do not want to miss Worship this coming Sunday morning. We are beginning a new series of messages that will help us to focus on, know and share Jesus as the King of Kings. Our ultimate goal is to walk through the Gospel of Matthew – verse by verse. We will begin this Sunday morning by seeking to understand God’s plan and His amazing work of REDEMPTION!
If you have ever wondered who the devil is, where he came from and how you can have victory over him, then you do not want to miss. If you have ever tried to figure out and understand what God is up to and why does He care, then you don’t want to miss. This is going to be one of the most amazing times of learning in the life of our church. I hope that you will join us and plan on bringing some friends – lives will be changed!
Also for those of you that don’t have a small group – Pastor’s Boot Camp is every Sunday morning at 8:45 AM. If you have been thinking about joining us – then come on out Sunday morning as we jump into some new material! We have been having a blast and it is a great group of friends and a very diverse group of people. Just ask someone to show you where the Pastor’s Boot Camp is meeting! I look forward to spending some personal time with you this Sunday.
I hope that your weekend is filled with rest, refreshment and revival!
