Anger

I am constantly amazed and how fast I can get angry. I am such a people person, and people are are jerks just raise my agitation level beyond recognition. It makes it worse when they are Christians. However, I need to give this mentality over to God. So what if people make me angry. People will be people- even Christians. Lord, help me see these people with your eyes and love them like you do. Take the darkness surrounding my heart and make it light again. I want more of you Lord and less of myself. I praise you for the ability to feel, and just ask that you would bring it to my mind that I need to pray when these feelings arise. Thank you Papa.

Matthew 10

Matthew 10
The words of Jesus
Jesus instructs his disciples

Matthew 10:5-8
Where to go, what to preach, what to do
We are called to do this TODAY!
HERE AND NOW!
do you BELIEVE?

Take your cross up daily.
It means living a sacrificial life for Jesus.
Sometimes, it means saying no to ourselves.

Don't be afraid of the gospel.
Pray..God help me overcome my unbelief.

Night of worship

Break these chains.

Breathe was written out of a time of desperation. Morning. Dance studio owner, suicide.

Culture

What's your church culture?
What's your legacy?
Is your church generational?
Are we trying to build people to change the world?

Psalm 78:1-4
Ephesians 10:2-
Luke 15

Who is connected to your life?
What legacy are you leaving?

Are you passing the baton ?

Today's youth will be the future teachers and worship leaders.

That is not just a 10 year old girl.
Be destined for greatness.
They are destined for greatness.
You can and WILL make a difference.

Be a church full of grace.

Stop living that mediocre life. WAKE UP CHURCH!

Be people that serve me. Be people that love me.

Salvation is not a reward.

Welcome home. Don't push her away. Be full of grace...but set that boundary.

You are God

Lord, help me push through, even when things aren't that positive. Help me be a light, and a smile to those who need it. Lord, I want to dwell on the things of you, and not take the littlest things personally. You are my rock, and nothing else. Love you papa.
