Faith?


We see this image and chuckle at it... but the reason we chuckle is it seems outlandish. I don't think that many of us in the church today really believe that our faith can accomplish miracles. We read where Jesus said with the faith the size of a mustard seed we can move a mountain, and think it is great for preaching, shows how important faith is and all that, but i don't think we really believe it! I think that when Jesus said that, that is exactly what he meant. He later said we would do greater things than He did in His earthly life with faith. Our faith is powerful, and can change lives. What mountains are we letting get in our way today? and the better question is what does it say about our faith if we are unable to move those mountains with our faith? Get out there and move some mountains for God...

Summer is coming up soon!

Hey yout's! Summer is right around the corner. Soon it will be the days of sun and fun and no school again. It is an exciting time when summer rolls around. Yet sometimes I thing and wonder if it is taken advantage of to its fullest. I know when I was a youth, for the most part i just relaxed all summer and had fun, and did not really put much thought into trying to do something productive, and looking back on it I have some regret for that. The challenge I would give each of you is to use some of the multitude of free time you will have this summer to do something extra for God. There are people all around this area who could use some help. We are to be His hands and feet, so lets use this summer to do that. If you can't find someone who could use the help, let me know, and I'm sure we can find something for ya!
