“A Time to Elevate”

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

In (Joshua 1:1-9) We read of the ending of Moses ministry and the beginning of Joshua’s. You see, the death of Moses marked the end of one man’s ministry and the beginning of another. It is similar to (Starting something new or having a second chance).

Now Joshua and the Israelites could of done a few things:

  1. They could of Just continued around the same old mountain and stayed stuck there.
  2. Or they could of Refused to go forward and just talk about the past
  3. They could of fell into depression over the death of Moses
  4. Or they could of just let go of their Dreams and Promises

But they didn’t, as amatter of fact they chose to go forward - inspite of it all  !! 

God has called us to reach to Newer heights, or as I call it to “ELEVATE”

 

Remember this always: God will always do His part – but we must also do our part: God wants us to become and fulfill all that He has created us to be:

  • We must be willing to go forward
  • We must be willing to take the first step
  • We must be willing to take the initiative   

 Perhaps you have had a rocky past. Or your going through a tough time right now !!!

  • Believe God, that the best is yet to come !!
  • Better days are ahead of you
  • And God is going to Elevate” you and restore to you all that you have lost, plus give you more !!! (How many of you believe that?) Believe it .

Sincerely Pastor Max

 

 

“Now What Do We Do After Easter”?

Monday, April 13th, 2009

God bless everyone, I hope you had a great Easter as I did, our church services were awesome, the music and special songs we had really inspired our entire congregation and visitors.

Here’s the thought for the week - Now what do we do after Easter ?  You see before Easter Sunday everybody is excited, inviting loved ones and friends going shopping and buying that new dress or suit to look and feel our best on that day !!! we even go the extra mile to make sure that special someone is coming to church that Sunday morning (right)?

You see the Easter message was never intended to be a one Sunday a year event !!! rather we are to live out the message of the good news that Jesus was indeed crucified, buried and He rose again on the third day with all power and glory. we read this in the gospels.

You and I are called:

1. To Live out the messages we here on Sunday mornings or whats being preached throughout the week

2. We are to Share the message with others that we come in contact with.

3. We are to Practice what we are hearing.

4. We are to Invite all of our friends and loved ones back - as if we were having Easter every Sunday !!!!!

The bible says: (Romans 10:14-17) To continue sharing the good news, because they need someone to tell them in order to build their faith in Christ.

So this week and the next and the next continue living out every week as if it were Easter !!!!!

Sincerely

Pastor Max
