It takes courage to dream big. It takes courage to accept the past, trust God to handle the future, and to make the most of the time we  have been given today.

"No to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us." - Ephesians 3:20

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." - Colossians 3:23

If we are genuinely excited about our faith it can be contagious to those we come in contact with. 

Are you afraid to ask God to do big things in your life? Are you afraid to dream big?

"Is anything too hard for God?" - Genesis 18:14

Nothing is impossible with God...we must understand that and have faith in His promises.

"May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed." - Psalm 20:4

If we trust God and have faith in His promises, our positive thinking and optimism will give us direction and motivation, but that is not the only reason for the hope that we have!

We are accountable for our actions. One day, maybe sooner than later, we will stand before the Father and be called to account for every action we have undertaken on earth. Everything will be on the table and nothing will surprise God, even though we may find ourselves quite surprised.

"Encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into His kingdom and glory." - 1 Thessalonians 2:12

Joy is a gift from God and our celebration can begin because He has put joy within us!

"I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete." - John 15:11

Sunday Sermon based in Genesis 1:1. Pastor Phillip begins a new series on "Beginnings".

"In the Beginning, God..." - Genesis 1:1a

Starting anew...fresh..clean. Seems to be the theme as a new year begins, but what place does God hold in your life? This is key...and crucial...if we are to experience peace in the chaos. 

Our faith is founded upon promises that are contained in a unique, but complete, guide for life: The Holy Bible.

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful." - Hebrews 10:23

"The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him." - Psalm 37:23

The great truth about God is that he is interested in each one of us. He will guide us if we serve Him obediently. 

We are commanded to love. Commanded! It is not a suggestion or an encouragement, but a command.

"These three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 13:13
