Last Sunday Night Was Amazing!!

If you were not at church last Sunday night then you really missed it. Last Sunday, Pastor Tewell talked about prayer and how powerful it can be! He looked at prayer through the life of Hannah, in 1 Samuel chapters one and two, and how she humbled herself to make her request unto God. It's quite amazing how she had peace about her prayer request before she even received God's answer! (1 Sam. 1:18) When I saw that, it struck me that I myself should try to emulate that kind of faith and confidence in my Lord. If you think about it, throughout the ENTIRE Bible God trys to remind us of his omnipotent power and that all we need is to ask (Luke 11:9-13). And don't forget to come back to Him when He does answer your request and praise Him for being your God who is so awesome!! (Luke 17:11-19). Pastor also showed us in 1 Samuel how Hannah showed us that example. For ten verses in chapter two she praised His Name. You struggling today? You need God's presence RIGHT NOW? We often forget how quickly God works. (John 4:49-53, 5:8-9; Luke 5:13, 5:25, 8:44, Luke 18:1-8) Just come to Him. He's waiting to spend time with you.

How's Everyone Doing?

Hey Brothers & Sisters in Christ! How's everyone doing so far this year? Still keeping up with your "New Year's Resolutions"? I just thought I'd drop a note on here saying that you all are on my mind and in my prayers today. Life has its UPs and downS but as a whole it's without a doubt a sweet thing!! This may be random but How does everyone like YASM's series on being "Designed to be Different" so far? I know I've enjoyed it! Leave some feedback on here it you ever have the time. I know Bro. Jake, Derrick, and I would love to see what you guys been thinking and feeling. Don't forget March's Home Bible Study this Monday. It will be held at Joe Johnson's house at 7:00pm. Don't miss out! His address will be posted in the YASM bulletins in class and will also be mapped out on papers in the back of class this Sunday! Looking forward to seeing you all this week in YASM and please don't forget to pray for those who are on the prayer requests page in the buletins! They need our attention and God will bless our requests and efforts if we sincerely pray for our brethren. Let's not ask amiss! James 4:3. As Bro. Jake would say......Grace and Peace. Until next time.
