What do you do when you know your on the right path, but it seems as if it's taking a long time to get to your destination? On Sunday, October 6th, Pastor Norman introduced the first installment in the "Can't Stop Won't Stop" sermon series entitled "Developing My Determination". In this sermon series, Pastor Norman shared determination is not an easy thing to hold on to. While we are often focused on a journey and destination that has been revealed to us by the voice of God, it is our task to remain focused and determined to accomplish what God will have us to accomplish. The scripture references for this sermon are Exodus 6:1-13 & Exodus 13:17-18

Last night's bible study was a preview of the upcoming October sermon series "Can't Stop, Won't Stop". This subject  goes into detail about what personally motivates us to do the will & work of Christ in ministry as well as our personal lives. Where does motivation come from? What generates it? What makes it good or bad? All motivation or ambition is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes our understanding of what motivates us is completely wrong. Listen along as we continue to learn and grown together.

On Sunday, September 22nd, Pastor Norman introduced part 4 in the sermon series "It's My Winning Season" titled " I Won Because I Didn't Quit".

If you're going to pursue a Godly victory, quitting CANNOT be your endgame. Whenever we are caught up in anything dealing with Godly discipline, we have to seek the lord and be not weary in our well doing. When weariness grabs us, we begin to look for a way of escape that is not in God's word. People who quit will always wonder if they stayed in the race, what would the results would've been. We have to learn that in order to keep winning, you have to get up and do what the lord is telling you to do. Join us in 1 Samuel 1:19-20 & also verse 26 as we continue to learn and grow together.

During last night's bible study, Pastor Norman gave more insight on Sunday's sermon, "I'm Damaged But I Can Still Win".

We must be able to do two things in the house of God; acknowledge that we have been harmed or hurt and also be able to say that WE have harmed or damaged someone else. Reconciliation and God's love and devotion is for ALL, not just for the person who has been hurt but also for the person who sometimes caused the hurt because they didn't know they were hurting someone.

Dr. Keith Norman (Bible Study/Tuesday,September 10th)

The secular concept of a winning season is a rise to the top & a claim to victory by defeating all of your opponents in competition. 

However, my inspiration if this series "The Winning Season" is to teach principles for waiting on the Lord as He releases us into the plan of life that He has prepared for each of His children. God, through the work of Christ & The Holy Spirit does this "winning" - sanctifying work in the time His own choosing. (read Galatians 4:4-7)

Godly Winning is also the victory of having persevered through various stages of life and maturity that "the Win" we posses may be able to Glorify God Our Father & to become a blueprint of Hope for others. (read Luke 1:5-23 & 1 Samuel30:1-31)

A Winning Season is always preceded by a Working Season.

While we often want to openly declare Our Winning Season, we must never anticipate "a win" without "some work"

The Law Of Seedtime & Harvest

(read Genesis 8:22; Deuteronomy 12:1-15; Corinthians 9:6

Last nights bible study (7.30.19) was the culmination of Pastor Normans "Hot Topics"  sermon series. During "The Remix" bible study, Pastor Norman answered questions from text's, emails, as well the congregation on the many facets of forgiveness. "What happens when a person asks for forgiveness but continues in the same pattern?" - "How do we get over our triggers?" - "Am I suppose to forgive and forget?".. Also during our bible study, Pastor Norman also taught 5 quick signs of true repentance. 

1. Truly repentant people accept full responsibility for their actions.

2. True repentance welcomes accountability.

3. True repentance SEEKS not to continue the same behavior.

4. True repentance does not have a defensive attitude about being called out.

5. True repentance makes restitution where necessary.

In our forgiveness model, we must all extend grace and recognize others humanity. Forgiveness is an ongoing growth process from everyone. Follow along with us as continue to learn and grow together.
