Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Studying the bible together with others is such a blessing. As our small group we are reading right now through the book of acts. When we meet up we share a quick overview and then each one is sharing what stuck out to them individually. Everytime we do that something new sticks out to us. We want to encourage you to read and study the bible together with others and be blessed by it!

We also hope you got encouraged through todays Gospel Carrier Nate Saint. We want to encourage you to pray for those affected by tragedy and to pray that God will bring good out of this situation.

Have a blessed week

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

Once a week I get together with a small group to pray together on zoom. Yes, we can pray alone as well or with our family, but praying with a group is a real blessing too. When you pray together you often time pray about things you would have not thought about on your own. God puts different things on the hearts of each one to pray and then you get to pray together for them. Love that. Its also very easy to do:

  1. Set a time and a place (we do ours over zoom that makes it easy for each one to come)
  2. Invite people that have a heart to pray.
  3. Ask God what to pray for and as well think about topics like your neighbors, kids in the neighborhood, schools, workplaces to pray for.
  4. Pray J

 

One reminder from the video at the end: 1. Come to God humbly and ask for the things you need or questions you have. 2.  Seek Him regularly and grow closer. 3. Be perseverant.

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

This week I had the opportunity to spend time with another Dad from the neighborhood. It is so great to have times like that since you understand each other including the great and challenging times. And with that you can encourage each other. If you have children we want to encourage you to build friendships with other Dads and Moms to walk together during those seasons.

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Betty Greene. Pray about and ask God how he wants to use the giftings and talents he has given you to bring the gospel to people that haven’t heard it yet?

Have a blessed week

Jesus most famous Sermon Part 13 Judging others

Today’s topic of Jesus most famous Sermon is about judging others in Matthew 7.1-6. Be inspired!

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

Last week Caleb and I randomly found a small park in the city that we have never been to. It was near a hospital. Caleb started running around with some kids there and I got in a conversation with a dad. I found out his wife was here for a medical appointment. Just by starting this conversation god opened up a door to encourage and pray for him in this fear-provoking moment and point him towards the one who is always with him. I want to encourage you through this situation that we are Gods hands and feet who he partners with to bring hope.

One reminder from the video at the end: Ask God to show you the “log” sin in your own life and repent and bring it to him. Then ask holy spirit to help you not to judge or come with pride but instead come with humility, love and compassion to help the person.

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Last week I shared with our board from YWAM Bay area about what we do. It is so wonderful to have a board of people that bring help and their expertise to the things going on and provide their inside. We have board members from in and outside of YWAM which helps to get a greater outside perspective. I feel it’s a pretty good picture for us as believers too. We have God and our faith community that helps us grow and get perspective as well as help us see our blind spots. We want to encourage you that if you haven’t already done so to plug into a church community and of course that is a given to spend time with God!

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Billy Graham. Who is God calling you to, to preach the gospel?

Have a blessed week
