So thankful and humbled that today I was honored to stand again for the 6th week in a roll for the Reverend-Teacher  Pastor Johnnie E. Richardson, Jr. - Senior Pastor of Macedonia M.B.C. @ 2600 Clayton St.,  Las Vegas, NV Our Subject: "You Need To Know" 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 You are: 1- Designed for Purpose 2- Delegated with Power 3- Declared by Purchase 4-   Designated to Praise We've been dealing with Stewardship- The activity or job of protecting and being responsible for something ~ especially that which God has rendered to our custody. We started last week focusing on our thoughts today we dealt with our temple (body). We have a responsibility to be good stewards with the body God has given us.  Are you stewarding your temple well?

Cultivating The Heart of Good Stewards

Great Students Make Teaching Rewarding! It's been a while since I Blogged mainly because of the activity of FaceBook, Instagram, Twitter & Snapchat, but Sunday after Service I was asked if I  Blogged and it hit me that I really had to get back to utilizing this tool because it easily allows me to communicate longer pieces of inspiration that enhances the lives of others.  Today's post was made easy by a congregant who condensed my message and posted on FaceBook. I believe her notes make for a very strong illustration of the sermon from a worshiper's perspective.  I was so moved to know that she valued what God shared through me that I felt it best just to share her notes as she posted.  We started a series on Stewardship and God impressed upon me to move to what I consider the root cause of us as Leaders not developing better stewards - I believe it is a heart issue. We have to cultivate a culture of conscious givers. (Thoughts, Temple, Time, Talent, Tithe, T

Sharing My Faith. . .

The following is a list of concepts principles that I consider worthy of application to my personal approach to sharing my faith with: family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, class mates, couples and strangers: Lead by example I have some family members who knew me when I was not saved or living saved and many of the ones I am called to reach have watched me transition and some are still waiting for me backslide. I have to continue to develop my walk, keep the correct Christian attitude and behavior through the good-times and the bad. “I can’t just talk about it, I have to be about it’ – or in other words my love for God and desire for others to be saved has to be seen and shared. Can’t Postpone When it comes to sharing with my friends I can’t wait till the ideal moment to share or be consumed with what they could use as an argument against what God gives me to do. I have to look for and create opportunities to share. I have to remember the Word and my responsibility to share the Word

My Personal Testimony

Just because you’re in Church Doesn’t Mean you’re in Christ! Been thinking about how I became a servant - I grew up in a Christian home in South Bend, Indiana as an only child. I did well throughout school (like I had a choice – being an only child my parents kept a close watch on me). My mother wasn’t supposed to have children and being born premature I spend my first days of life in an incubator. I was forced to go to church and participate in the holiday programs. I always said that first chance I got I was never going to go to church. Once I left home for college I thought I’m free of church but God put cast of student believers around me from around the country who thought as a group we should all be attending church on Sundays. Seemed I just couldn’t get away from God’s people. (Which reminds me it is important who you associate with) . Can't Run From God. . . I tried to get away from Godly influences- yet even when I auditioned for my traveling college performing arts group
