Remember that time you turned on a lamp and then covered it with a blanket?

No?

Me neither.

Yet so often we cover up the light of our lives. We don't have to think of the grand scale: preaching, sharing Jesus with total strangers on the street etc. Yet we can simply and humbly uncover our Jesus-filled lives to our friends and family. To those we already have relationships with. That is what we gently encourage you to do today.

No isolated incidents. Our life choices affect others, namely those closest to us. Our actions influence people. With Jesus, the exposure can be light, and not darkness.

A change is always standing in front of us, but partnered with a cost. Weight and healthy eating, time and tv watching etc. So when God nudges your heart to change, will you accept the cost and follow Him?

In week two of the series: Words Against Us, Pastor Jonathan preaches about the effect words against us can bring. Through oppression, condemnation from others, and discouragement to not pursue God, we can live in freedom. This freedom comes only through Jesus, and because of it, we can fulfill our purpose in life.

This Sunday, Pastor Jonathan discusses how words that are spoken against us, affect our lives. They can cause condemnation, a lack of desire to pursue God, and lead to a broken pursuit of our purposes in life. He then instructs us on how to deal with these words: recognize what is happening, cast it down with truth and in faith, and continue to live in freedom.

This Father's Day, Pastor LaRonna Rhodes talks about things every Father should know. Firstly, that perfection does not exist. Secondly, little things are big things. Thirdly, patience is required. And lastly, that in order to be a P.R.O. Dad: you must be one that Prays, Reads, and Obeys. Happy Father's Day!

In this message, guest speaker Allan Gregory speaks to us about the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. We have completeness, wholeness and security through our Lord Jesus Christ that allows us to be steady in the midst of life's storms.

This week Pastor Jonathan talks about how we have been separated from the world by God, so that we are not influenced by it and led astray. Because of this, we are not to act as the world does, nor follow its example. In order to strengthen ourselves, we should make church a lifestyle, not just a building, and get connected to our church family so they can encourage us in ways we need to change.

Pastor LaRonna talk about how we can lead exciting, fun, and joyful lives in Christ. This means, though we still go through hard times, as James 1 says, we can experience incredible joy when we go through difficult circumstances. We can have Faith, Unity, and Nourishment from Christ and this leads to a truly F.U.N. lives.

How should we understand who the Holy Spirit is? How important is our relationship with Him? This is what we explored this week. Through the foretelling of the Scriptures we see how crucial our relationship with Him is, and how he brings out good fruits in our lives, including incredible gifts through which we can bless other people. Because of this, we should be continually receiving of His correction, comfort and fellowship
