WE SERVE AN AWESOME GOD Scripture Reading Isaiah 48:13  This is so powerful because as I think about those of us who have children and sometimes when we call them they choose not to hear us calling, yet God in all His splendor can call His creation and they come together.

It brings me back to the beginning in Genesis when God said "Let there be..... and there was...." We serve an Awesome God!!!!!!!!
RECLAIMING OUR COMMUNITY When we think about the condition of our communities we are not just fighting against guns and gang violence, but against spiritual wickedness in high places. In order to reclaim our community we must first recognize the source of the problem, confront the problem, and then conquer the problem.                                                            Recognize—Confront—Conquer The War Against Violence This war against violence is not just a physical one, it is also a spiritual war.

The Bible declares in 2 Corinthians 10: 4  "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds."  We have the weapon of the word of God, prayer, and praise and worship.  The word of God is powerful everything on earth and in heaven is subjected to the word of God. Prayer is powerful in keeping us in co
IF GOD BE FOR ME WHO CAN BE AGAINST ME Scripture Reading  The Book of Ruth Ruth was a stranger in a foreign land, she knew no one except her mother in law.  The God of heaven,creator of heaven and earth was new to her. Yet she believed that whatever she would face in Judah is far better than what Moab had to offer her.   Moab is her home country; she knew nothing else, yet she fund in Naomi a belief in a God that she could trust more than any gods that was in Moab.  Although Ruth did not know where she was going and what would happen to her she went hoping for the best.  Ruth allowed her faith to take her from the unknown to destiny.  She put aside all that she believed in, all that she was expecting out of life; she used the opportunity to start a new life and ran with God.  She did not think twice of letting go of the past, in order to embrace the future.  Tonight Lord I ask you to give me the faith like Ruth, who pressed through every obstacle that was in her way to embrace her de
