Bread for the Broken

In today's message, Pastor James will remind you of how important is to honor the past and the work that people put in. One way that we can respect that work today is by continuing what they worked towards. But... You may be asking yourself “Why do we do this?” Well, there is a simple answer. We do it for the next generation. If we chose to not work to solve the problems that face us today then these problems will only get worse and snowball out of control from generation to generation.

In today's message, Pastor James will remind you that because God loves you He wants what is best for you, in this life there will be struggles but you will prosper. Now, that prosperity may not come in the form that you first imagine. Sometimes in the kingdom of God, being prosperous doesn't always mean a full bank account. Pastor James will remind you that if you are obedient to the Lord, you will be prosperous, you may not have an abundance... But in this life you will never want for anything.

Spiritually, your life will be filled with highs and lows, ups and downs, feasts, and famines.

In fact, there will be times when you feel far from Him. But God has promised never to leave you and will always make Himself known to those who ask!
