Reflections From Mother's Day

Image
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...

Envisioning Your Future!

Sunday was truly a day of blessing, excitement and freedom. One thing about worshiping in a Movie Theatre is that you really have opportunity to set the pace as opposed to having to deal with the traditions that have been set before you. God has blessed us for the last three weeks to have a wonderful group of worshipers. The real testimony is in the fact that many of the congregants are first generation attendees. God has been sending growth of unchurched people. Exciting only begins to describe how humbling being apart of God's move is... Series Preaching and Teaching God has placed us on a path to develop new leaders in the Body of Christ and the series we are ministering from is called "The Power of Influence." Our first message was from 1Peter 1:3 "Power Source", the remaining six messages deal with the acronym L.E.A.D.E.R. " L ead Myself" " E nvision My Future" ...

Bible Study In A Bowling Alley? Try It Thursday!

Image
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...
