Stewardship

Image
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, 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 ...

State of Capernaum Church Address

What Happens When You Do Life - Church - Business God's Way? And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

How awesome is God? On Sunday February 7th 2010 the CCC family had the chance to publicly celebrate the official opening of phase one of our Worship Center and we were blessed with the music ministry of the Voices of Faith from the University Notre Dame. Technology is Great! We have a plan to webcast the entire service but, I just had to share with you all this clip from the cell phone of one of our members. Can you believe the quality? I thank God for the opportunity He has provided me to serve and the relationships or connections we are forging. Wow, what a God we serve!

Come Celebrate With Us!

Celebrate with us for we have followed the instruction of the Lord and He has provided! Genesis 12:1-3 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and form thay father's house, unto a land that I will show thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless the, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee:and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. When God Moves You Move! When God says move you have to move, even when you have no idea which direction you are to go. God has a funny way of seeing if we will depend on Him to direct our paths or if we are going to yield to the opinions of others. Leaving our comfort zones is never easy. Isolating from family, friends and the place where everything is fruitful and familiar can create challenge and stress. But please let me add this qualifier, when God gives you instruction as a leader, ...
