Twilight is an interesting time in my day, it's not yet the end, but almost. Have you ever felt that way? When you are about to begin a new phase? I am in transition with my jobs, from Subway to pastoral. AWESOME! I am so excited, but there's that time during twilight, that feeling of nervousness. I want to move on, but my nerves are making me aware that they are there. Please keep me in prayer.  Pray for 10 new faces, each week. See, I want to move on with what God has for me, I want twilight to end and night/ morning to come. I hope that you enjoy the twilights in your day. Peace be with you.

Hey Everyone, happy July 1st. The month of July brings many things; independence, newness, BBQ's and parties, and helping hands. These topics all seem to be about other people. For the month of July, we are going to be about other people. We will be doing things to serve other people. I Bible tells us to serve others, to love them as we love ourselves. Lets do it. There are many ways to get involved; time, labor, prayer, finances. We want to be a church that is a part of our community. Kinda how we send the kids to China or Costa Rica, we want to be that to Manchester CT. The cost will be a lot less, we just want to see what God is doing and get along side of him. Seems simple, but can we do it? Can we go out and help our neighbor? Can we take this Rock we've built our lives on and share it with others? Here's hoping and praying. Peace be with you.

What is God's will? Is God's will personable or is it an umbrella for everyone? This Sunday I will be speaking about God's will; what it is and how we fulfill it? Well, the fulfilling God's will is our next sermon series, but what is God's will; a lexus, a big house, marriage, kids, a better job, a lot of friends, a good body, nicely died hair... What is the secret code or key to God's will? Peace be with you.

Let us be fools for Christ!

Do you know the secret code? What is the right thing that we need to say to get into heaven or have a wealthy life? The church is into a prosperity lifestyle, but what about a better life, one without rage and bitterness? What if the secret code was a way of life? What if what Jesus is looking for isn't what we do, but what comes out of us? Does He maybe want our actions to be about the other person, rather than what we did or do? What if that is the secret code? Peace be with you.

Do you ever think about your actions? I am told that they speak louder than words. I think all of us have been told that by our mothers at one point, but what does that mean? I find it interesting that that statement holds true always, even on our bad days! How are your actions? What are you doing? Do your action line up to the beatitudes and the way of life that Jesus desires? Are you a peacemaker and a lover of all? When the storm's around you, do you bear good fruit? Do you have patience and self control during trivial times? How is your posture and body language when talking to people? Let me encourage you to watch your actions, because they speak louder than words. Peace be with you.

Pray for the ten!

Let us be fools for Christ.

Why does God allow good things to happen to bad people, and bad things to happen to good people? That's not fair! Shouldn't good things be happening to good people. Isn't that fair? Why doesn't life happen that way? Why does Scripture tell us that God makes the rain come over the just and the unjust? It's true. It's raining now, over farmers that are fair and those who are not. Some people who dot ever "i" and cross every "t" are getting water, and those who haven't paid their taxes in years are getting water. Why? That's not fair. How come people who give everything for Christ suffer, and people who don't care have "everything" (material stuff; not worrying about paying the bills)? That's not fair, and it doesn't make sense. I hope you are able to live in this reality. Peace be with you.

One thing that has hit me like a ton of bricks, is that the key to s successful leader/ person is perseverance. What is perseverance? Steady persistence in a course of action towards a goal or purpose. How do we make perseverance a part of who we are (a quality)? The first step should be to write things down. The business world tells us to write it down and look at it all day, everyday. Organize your thoughts and dreams, and revisit them all the time. What next? Then we must be steady in action towards these goals. If you fall down, get back up. Be persistent; don't give up. If you look at any great person (mentor), then have not given up. Ask, ask, ask, everybody and anybody. What's the worst they'll say, "no", that's what you started with. Be persistent. Schedule your life according to your thoughts and goals. "I want to learn about God", well schedule your life in a way that you can learn about God. Read your Bible, go to a Wednesday night Bible study, go to Sunday Worship Gathering at Case Mountain Community Church (we meet in Orange Hall of Manchester CT). Be a part of the community (look for a missional church). Peace be with you.
