I’M PUMPED!

We’re kicking off a new Series this Sunday at Faith Renewed entitled The Parable.

I get excited about EVERY study we do, but I must say, I’m SUPER pumped about this one!

Each week we’re going to take a look at a different parable that Jesus taught.  It’s exciting to think about Jesus telling these stories, and lives being changed because of His Words THEN.

I can’t wait to see what He does with them NOW!

1st Mobile Blog

My schedule has been a little hectic, as a result I haven’t blogged lately.
I’m sitting in the hospital waiting room today while one of my church members is having heart surgery, & finally decided to use the WordPress for Blackberry app I downloaded a while back.
There’s been a lot going on in my life lately. If I typed it all my thumbs would be sore!
I’m going to just summarize it like this. God is GOOD!
As I’m sitting here writing this, the doctor came out and said the surgery went great, & there should be a complete recovery!

To God be the glory!

Four Things We Can Learn From A Four Year Old

I love every weekend at Faith Renewed, especially 5th Sundays!  I get an opportunity to have another worship experience with my church family, & also enjoy some great food & fellowship!

We have a “Night of Worship” & Fellowship every 5th Sunday Night.  This week one of our little guys blessed us, when he sung his own rendition of Glorious Day, by Casting Crowns.  I LOVE this song, it’s the Gospel Message!

WATCH THIS video of FOUR YEAR OLD Walker Holman!
He’s unsure on the verses, but NOT the chorus!

Here’s What We Can Learn:

  1. Have NO Fear– Don’t allow fear to paralyze you, & hinder the call on your life.
  2. What TRUE Praise & Worship Is– This came straight from the heart.  Jesus said, The Father is seeking this… John 4:23
  3. Don’t Let What You CAN’T Do Stop You– Walker didn’t let the fact that he didn’t know all the words to the verses stop him.  So many times we focus on our weaknesses, instead of our strengths.
  4. Do What You CAN Do With EVERYTHING You Have– Walker knew the chorus, and nothing was going to stop him from singing it!  We ALL have a gift, use it to the fullest!

Something that makes this video even more special to me, is that Walker is the biological younger brother to my adopted son Caleb.  To see how God has placed each of his siblings in Christian homes, is an awesome picture of God’s Grace.

Living HE loved me.
Dying HE saved me.
Buried HE carried my sins far away.
Rising HE justified, freely forever.
One day HE’S coming, OH, GLORIOUS DAY!

I BELIEVE THIS!

This song has been rocking my world (in a GOOD way) today!

I encourage you to read the words of this song OUT LOUD.  Your faith will go to another level!

You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

I believe You’re my Healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You’re my Portion
I believe You’re more than enough for me
Jesus You’re all I need

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold MY world in YOUR hands
