From your happy Pastor

chris — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 14:26:22 -0600

In light of CJ’s sermon yesterday, I want to take this opportunity to tell you that you are a joy to pastor. As a group, you are characterized by passionate worship, a true and genuine love for God, a teachable heart, and a hunger for wisdom. It has been a privilege to be your pastor for the last 3+ years and I thank God for every one of you.

Boot Camp: Graduation

tfs — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 15:21:30 -0600

On Friday night we ended our boot camp series with a message on Worship. We've come a long way in this series. We've seen God work through His building a passion for the importance of His Word, through the efficacy of prayer, through the kingdom-building process of evangelism, and finally we've seen how all that we do is for His glory as we seek to offer our whole selves as living sacrifices.

Going forward let's continue to meditate on the lessons that God has been teaching us over these past few months and challenge our selves to continue living a lifestyle dedicated to building Godly discipline.

What have you learned through this series? How have you been impacted?

"Prayer, like our Lord, comes forth from God and returns to God."

tfs — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 13:18:15 -0500

I will sum up this point as to the pleasure of seeing how prayer comes to be in our heart, by briefly tracing the line of beauty along which it runs. First of all the thought and purpose of blessing arises in the heart of God: David perceived that to be the case, for in the twenty-first verse he says, “For thy word’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things.” Prayer owes its origin to the heart of God.

Prayer and the Heart

Prayer is also the index of a spiritual heart. David sat in his house of cedar: it was costly and carved with great art, but it did not draw his mind away from God. It has too often happened that prospering professors have become proud professors, and have forgotten God.

More of Spurgeon on Prayer

tfs — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 02:25:43 -0500

Prayer with the lip, prayer with bended knee and uplifted hand is nothing worth if the heart be absent. Prayer as a mere matter of form and routine is but the husk, heart-work is the kernel. Words are the oyster shell, the desire of the heart is the pearl. Do not imagine that the Lord looks down with any pleasure upon the tens of thousands of forms of prayer, whether liturgical or extempore, which are presented to him without heart: such forms rather weary him than worship him; they are not adoration, but provocation.

Monday Morning

tfs — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 05:23:18 -0500

It’s Monday morning - time to get out of bed, read God’s Word, and pray! I trust that you will be encouraged in your soul as you spend time adoring God this morning. Let these words by Charles Spurgeon encourage you to cry out to God.

Draw Near To God

tfs — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 01:46:40 -0500

When we pray, we are not just speaking words, but coming to God and conversing with Him. God is the one whom we want to reach with our prayers, and if our prayers would not reach him they would not be worth praying – no matter how excellent they were prepared.
