Jeremiah 29:11...

Jeremiah 29:11 (English Standard Version) 11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. As I was reading this verse this past week because I need a simple reminder that God is for me. God should me something totally new about this verse. It just so happens that what He showed me was exactly what I needed to hear. It was as if God was screaming this at me. We all have struggles in our life... for me one of the struggles I have is that Satan plants these day dreams... thats the best way I can describe it... During the day sometime God puts these thoughts or day dreams in my head and Satan is very slick in how he plants these thoughts. He makes you think that you are thinking them up on your own. But then He will blast you for thinking these things and tell you that now because you think about these things then they will come true. For instance, sometimes I will have the feeling that I am going to ...

Songs: Happy Day (Tim Hughes) Nothing Is Impossible (Planet Shackers) Give Me Faith (Elevation Worship) Higher Than The Mountains / Love Never Fails (Brian Johnson) Band: Acoustic & Lead Vocals: (Me), Jason Eaton BGV's: Mary Beth Holmes Cajon: Mark Monteiro 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (New International Version) 18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. 19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. When we read this verse a lot of the time we think this is a great idea for our spouse, our kids, our grandkids, and people we love. But, for ourselves it seems to extreme. Fleeing from sexual immorality is something that we have to take very seriously. Because we all are bombarded with sexual influence in our life. What our country promo...

Songs: Love Came Down (Brian Johnson) Higher Than The Mountains / Love Never Fails (Brian Johnson) You Are Good (Kari Jobe) Give Thanks / O How He Loves You An Me (Unhindered) Band: Cajon: Mark Monteiro Acoustic: (Me), Jason Eaton Lead Vocals & BGV's: Mary Beth Holmes Lead Vocals & BGV's: Sarah Hatfield Do you believe the people that you hangout with can affect you negatively? Proverbs 13:20 gives us a promise and a warning. It says, "He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm." The promise is that if you hangout with and spend time with people who are wise YOU WILL grow in the area of wisdom in your life. Which we would all say that we want that. The next is a warning... If you are a companion to a fool you will suffer harm. At some point the fool's suffering will affect you or rub off on you. It doesn't say that you will even do the things that the fool does. You could stay strong in your convictions and live...

Always Forever (Phil Wickham) Draw Me Close To You (Kelly Carpenter) More of You, Less of Me (Brian Johnson) [GUARDRAILS] are a system designed to keep vehicles from straying into dangerous or off limit areas. Wow! What a powerful series this is going to be. I love when we get challenged to take steps in growth. It is easy to come to church and never leave differently. So what are some areas in your life where you need to out up [GUARDRAILS]? Where are some areas where you need to trains your consciences to warn you? Where are you tip toeing the yellow line just trying not to fall off the cliff? There are areas in our life where we need to create a standard of behavior that becomes a matter of our conscience. No one ever starts something planning to mess up their life but no one plans not to either! So make sure you come every week over the next six weeks for this...
