Being Useful in Unusual Times!

2008-10-22T17:16:56Z

In 1 Samuel 30:6 David was greatly distressed , His world seemed to be coming apart, his emotions were working against him and so were his people. Remember that your response in difficult times can greatly influence your outcomes. The Holy Spirit has been given to help us respond in a Christ like attitude. Be sure to lay hold of three important principals in times like these;
1. Pray in the Spirit.      Jude 20
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
2. Focus on Christ as our example.     Heb 12:2
looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3. Find courage.         1 Sam 30:6
....but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
    If the goal is to be Christlike, in our obedience and our service to others. It will take courage to keep your heart fixed on helping others in difficult times, because the first thing our natural man wants to do is protect self. Those who overcome and lay down their lives in these times will actually find God's hidden help and be very useful in unusual times.

Keep You from Falling. August 15, 2008

2008-08-15T09:28:36Z

Unto Him who is able to keep you from falling (Jude vs. 24). The joy of climbing trees! In the days before video games and cable networks with 200 channels, I remember, as a child, how much my brothers and I loved to climb trees. To us it was the great adventure. When we conquered that big oak tree in the back yard, you would have thought we had conquered the world! We did not always realize the dangers because we did not plan on falling. There is so much hope in this promise given to us today by God's word. We do not have to fall! For some failure is a forgone conclusion. They have great confidence in their ability to make a mess out of their life. Some people are so convinced that they will fall again that they don't even try to climb anymore and they have lost the joy of life. As a child I did not realize that as we were climbing our muscles were becoming stronger and our confidence was growing, it was making me a better person.
If you have lost your joy, if you confidence is weak, or if you just need to feel better. Get out and live today, do something that you love to do, do something that you have dreamed of doing, ask God to bless you and don't live in fear of falling. It will make you a better person.

July 7, 2008 To Be Hurting.

2008-07-07T10:17:13Z

    I want to take just a moment to give thanks to God for all those who have prayed and supported us this past week as we buried two of our family members. My sister Etta had become more like a spiritual daughter to my wife Donna and I. Thanks again to everyone, you look just like Jesus.
    Two very important things I must tell you that I have learned. Do not just glance over this writing, because if you have never gone through something like this, you will in the future! Please try to remember it is not about losing someone it is about loving someone! The reason you hurt so much is because that you care so much! What that really means to us is that we achieved the goal of life, we made the mark, we fulfilled the task we have been given by God, we loved someone! Never deny it and never regret it. You allowed someone into your life, gave them the best seat in the house, the one next to your heart and that is a wonderful thing. You have experienced the miracle of love! When the days ahead get lonely or at the times when your heart seems empty remember that the cure for love is love! Look around and let someone else in.
     That brings me to my second point. People deal with life in many different ways. Some want the whole world to know, some want to find a place to hide. No matter how you deal with life I just want you to know if you need someone, contact us, let us pray or at the very least, let's sit together and hopefully find a cure!

June 23, 2008 Grace, Who Get's It

2008-06-23T22:14:28Z

   Help is a wonderful thing and even if your not willing to admit it, there comes a time when we will all need it. Help with a heavy load, help buying the house that we want, help with the kids, help coming
into this world, and even help getting to the graveyard.
   Grace, to put it simply is Gods' help. His divine involvement. God wants to help. In fact one of the definitions for the Holy Spirit is the "Helper" The Bible reads in the book of Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:" Our faith in God gives us access into His grace. By faith we mean our trust in His word, accepting Him, continuing with Him no matter what, believing!
    What is your need today? Do you have a heavy load? Do you need help with a child? Are you dealing with life and death issues? Trust God today, accept His forgiveness and His love, believe upon Him no matter what, and His grace will be sufficient always!
                                                                                God is good!

June 10 2008-Grace, Who Needs it?

2008-06-11T12:12:51Z

    It is so good to be able again to sit and write. Our life here at Community has been in the state of extreme transition! We moved out of our old location, found a new one, closed the deal, and moved into a new one, all in the matter of about two weeks. Then this past weekend my wife woke up Saturday in severe pain, after a trip to two hospitals, several x rays, much poking and prodding, and emergency surgery on Sunday. I now have her back home, minus a very mean kidney stone. What a roller coaster life can be sometimes.
    Life will remind you often of your inabilities. We as a people love to celebrate success and achievement.We have all types of trophies recognizing what we can do. We must realize it is just as important that we also recognize what we cannot do. Clint Eastwood once said " A man has got to know his limitations."
    God told Abraham that He would be the father of many. That was a dream come true for Abraham. The only problem with this story is that Abraham and his wife were well past the age of bearing children. He was completely unable to do what God ask him to do, He had no power to make his dream come true.
   God loves you so much and He wants you to be a part of His awesome eternal kingdom. The only problem with this story is, that like Abraham you are completely unable to be what God requires you to be to earn a place in His kingdom. We could never be good enough. We will always fall short in some way. What can we do? We need help!
   Grace is Gods favor, His help, His divine ability. Abraham did not put his faith in what he could do he knew that he was not able, he put his faith in what God could do. God has the power! By accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior and believing that He has the power to help you be the person that God wants you to be, you will receive His grace and if you are like the rest of the human race you will need it!
                                                                                                            more later

May 24 2008 - Making Sense of Life!

2008-05-24T15:30:29Z

    Somebody stop the world and let me off! Does that sound familiar to anyone out there? At times life can seem to be so unpredictable or even out of control. It is like trying to hold on to the wind, not knowing where its coming from or where it is going. Instead of spending all of our energy cleaning up the messes of life we wish for the day that for once we could prevent the messes from happening in the first place!
    Hold on to your dust pan or put away your tool belt which ever the case may be. I want to share with you what has been shared with me. I have been listening to someone who knows about life, I think He can help us if we just listen. The reason we would want to listen to his advice on life is because He is the manufacturer, the creator of life itself, otherwise known as the" The Heavenly Father"!
   "While the earth remains, Seed time and harvest, Cold and heat,Winter and summer, And day and night
Shall not cease."
    God wants us to think about this verse and he wants us to seek Him for answers. There is a rhythm to life, there are seasons or cycles around us. These seasons have an influence on you whether you realize it or not. Is it possible that your life is simply out of rhythm, could it be that you are out of step with God? Seek Him and you will find Him when you seek with all of your heart! If you would like prayer or to talk to someone please contact us at Christatthecenter.com          Be Blessed!

May 21- It is written!

2008-05-21T13:17:07Z

II Corinthians 10:5 tells us that there is a battle going on and it is closer than we think. Your very thoughts, the things that you know or need to know, even your dreams and imaginations are the target of this assault! The one waging this war is called the "god of this world" we also know him as Satan. His objective is to steal, kill, and destroy every thing that he can. He has an arsenal of lies and legions of demon's to assist him.
Least we despair, let us remember that we are a part of a mighty army with our conquering King Jesus as the captain of the host! When the devil came to tempt Him in the wilderness. The enemy hurled accusations and evil influences like fiery darts looking for a target. The devil tried to get Jesus to think about himself, his reputation, and his future. Does that sound familiar? Have you ever been tempted to think those kind of thoughts? Don't worry you are in good company. We are all tempted. How we respond to temptation is what matters. Jesus refused to get in to a debate with the devil. He let God's word work for him! "It is written" was like the sound of the trigger going back on a mighty weapon. The devil knew that what followed was going to hurt and hurt it did! When you feel like your thoughts, dreams, plans are under attack. Remember that there is a "It is written" for everything you are going through. Read Luke Chapter 4 today and rejoice because God's word works!

May 18 2008 - Welcome to my world!

2008-05-21T13:16:23Z

Welcome to our new blog!  Welcome to a new chapter, not only a chapter for this message, but a new chapter in my life. This blog is a first for me and I would like to welcome all of you along for the journey. I cannot make very many promises about what it will be like, but I will try my best to be as real as I possibly can. Maybe we can enjoy the journey together and learn from each other. I love to make friends and I also enjoy being around people who think differently than I do. Challenges can make you grow! Let the dialog begin, let the comments flow, and a good joke every now and again never hurts.
    When was the last time that you did something for the first time? Are you needing something new in your life?  New things do not have to be hard, they do not have to be bad, they do not have to be painful. If your life is needing something different, you do not have to throw the baby out with the bath water (figure of speech). It could be that simply by adding a little something positive to your life, will help you out of your negative. You don't have to change every thing about your life to enjoy something new. Here are a few pointers that have helped me.

1. Big doors swing on little hinges. As I stated earlier, just by adding a little thing could make a big difference. Make it positive, healthy, and enjoyable. You can make a game out of cleaning your garage if you want to, taking a walk can either be an adventure or an aggravation you make the choice.

2. God gives grace to the humble. John 10:10 says that Jesus came to give us abundant life! He will help you if you ask and believe. Helping is the job of the Holy Spirit, asking and believing is your job! Remember sometimes God uses people. If my wife did not help me there is a lot that I would not get done! I was able to get started on this blog site because my friend Bruce Sizemore was there to help me. I will be able to keep this up because you write me back and I know some one is out there. Hint. Hint.

3. Get back up! The only way you lose is if you quit and there is just no quit in us. If you stumble in life, just get up dust yourself off and get busy living!

You make my life a sweeter song when you join in, so I'll be looking forward to hearing from you.
                                                                                                  love and prayer.
                                                                                                  pastor mike
