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, Things) 
We must cultivate and champion hearts towards good stewardship. 
Stewardship is an ethic that embodies the responsible planning and management of resources. The concepts of stewardship can be applied to the environment and nature, economics, health, property, information, theology, etc.
It is the activity or job of protecting and being responsible for something
Leaders are we being good stewards with those God allows us to minister to?

Bible Study In A Bowling Alley? Try It Thursday!

I praise God not only for what He has done but for what He is doing... The Word says we have not because we ask not...so I made a decision to take God at His Word. Tuesday Sister Kelly and I took a little trip over to the Bowling Alley where God has opened a door for us on Thursdays to do a noon day and an evening 6:30 pm Bible Study @ Chippewa Bowl - 225 W. Chippewa Avenue, South Bend, IN 46614 - anyway we realize that we have to have something for the young people - while making arrangements for a second room for the children of those who will be attending Bible Study I was lead to ask if the bowling alley could provide any help discounting or letting our children bowl free during teaching time. The General Manager is making available two lanes right outside our classrooms for young people to bowl. Did Y'all hear me? ...now don't get it twisted before the youth bowl they will have a short lesson then off to the lanes while God allows me to pour into their parents. We have b

Reflections From Mother's Day

What a Wonderful Day of Worship! I continue to be moved and humbled by how God is blessing the ministry of C.C.C., Sunday was no exception. For me Sunday took us to a whole new level of ministry. Some of the most precious ladies in the world worshiped with us and I thank God for the opportunity to speak into their lives, capture the moment by giving everyone who shared the day with us a Free Professional Family Photo forever documenting the greatness of our time together and bless all the ladies with free flowers that they can enjoy (an expression of appreciation for their lives and contributions to family, community and self). We continued our series on the "Power of Influence" with the focus on "DEEPEN MY FAITH". The Lord spoke to us from James 1:2-4 where we dealt with the imperative or imperatives or the commands of James for leaders to: Sum Up Your Joy - Count Count is a financial term that is illustrated by the ability to add-up and cash in that which is val
