We so often get stuck on the secrets God has not shared with us instead of focusing on what He has revealed in His Word.

We all went through a tremendous even together in Hurricane Irma, and not just us but our entire community. God was able to use us when we were in our worst state, how much more can He use us when we're at our best?

God calls the community of the faithful to go into the storm and step into the lives of people. Rather than hunker down in our church walls, He calls us to go out and be involved in the lives of others.

When we go into a storm, we shouldn't become overwhelmed by the wind and waves around us but we should stay focused on Jesus. And if we begin to sink, we have but to cry out "Lord, save me!" and Jesus will be right there to grab our hand.

You don't truly win together unless everybody is part of the win...together. So always remember the greatness of God, to be honest with each other, and to love each other. That's how we win together.

The Lord always invites us to participate in His great works, and what He asks us to do doesn't always look like what makes sense. But do you trust the Lord enough to do what He asks, even if it doesn't seem to make sense?

In today's world, as we face whatever we have to face, and as we look at the brutal realities of life, let's not fade in fear. But instead let's trust and have a great faith that calls us to enormous courage.

We are part of a multicultural, multi-racial church that has different opinions on things, but Jesus is what brings us all together in spite of our differences.

There are a lot of things that go on in our lives and all around us, but God's love is greater than anything the world can throw at us.

No matter our station in life, we can still have influence on those around us, especially if we hold on to God.
