ORDER IN THE COURT!!!

Next year has been proclaimed as "The Year of Order". I am really excited about this because things function so much better when they are in order. Over the last year we have spent time discussing discipleship. I believe that will be a key component as we move into 2010, the Year of Order. Hunch your neighbor (or send them an email) and tell them "Neighbor, this year you will be moving from Out of Order to IN ORDER". I look forward to sharing this awesome Word that God has for you.

Mighty Men of Valor with Tim Hightower

On Saturday, March 14th, we had our Mighty Men of Valor meeting at the South Location. Special guest for this meeting was Tim Hightower, running back for the Arizona Cardinals and partner of Spirit of Faith. In an interview style meeting, Tim and I talked about his football career which started at a very young age and how his Faith in God helped him to achieve the success that he has today. The plan was to interview Tim and then I had planned to get into the Word. However, the interview tied into so many points in my planned lesson that we just flowed with the moment and had a blessed time.

At the end of the meeting, I was pleased to see that some of the riders from the East Coast Busas were in attendance along with other first time guest.

Make sure to pick up the CD or DVD from this meeting!

Love or Assignment...It's Your Choice

Tonight, our communication lab was held at the North Location. The meeting started off with a simple question. Did Adam and Eve marry out of Love or did they marry out of assignment. The answers to the question varied throughout the sanctuary. If you say it was out of assignment look at this interesting fact. Prearranged marriages are out of assignment as opposed to love. Less than 17% of arranged marriages end in divorce while over 50% of marriages that are out of love or attraction end in divorce.

If you come into marriage without understanding of purpose, you will be in for a rough time. If assignment was important to God, that what is your purpose in getting married. Get hooked up to your assignment first and always remember that choices can deter assignment.

Change has come, but where have you placed your hope?

At the writing of this post, we are about an hour and a half away from Barack Obama becoming the 44th President of the United States. There have been many hopes and expectations that have been placed on him as he prepares to take office. He is facing an unprecedented amount of responsibility as he prepares to assume the office of the President. It is important for us all to remember that first, we must only put our hope in our Heavenly Father. Second, it is our responsibility to pray for those who are in authority over us. Make sure you do your part and keep our new President and administration uplifted in prayer.

Let's Continue...

Why did God create you? What is your purpose? To answer these questions you have to know that the power to define is the power to fulfill...

My mission in this lesson on discipling others is to Discover, Disciple, and Deploy. Jesus said that it would be better if He goes away, but people have not matured to the point of being able to walk without step by step guidance. So it's not to reduce the church back to the days when Jesus walked along side of it but to make sure that everyone is in proper relationship with God and spiritually mature.

There are many voices in the earth today and it is important to listen to the right voice. You will become like whatever voices you are listening to... You have to allow someone to be your teacher. Ask yourself this, would you go to a new job and tell your supervisor what to do?

I was alarmed to learn the statistic that 60% to 70% of people jump from church to church because of spiritual immaturity! Which is often tied into leaving because of an offense or misunderstanding. Be in your set place! Those who are really great are those that listen really well. You are having issues because you have never allowed yourself to sit under the process/training.

There is so much more that I could share from this second lesson on discipling others however I would encourage you to get the CD or DVD as soon as possible so you don't miss anything dealing with this life changing lesson!

Start Experiencing the Cultural Shift!

This week marked two major moments at Spirit of Faith. First, we started our 9:30am services at our Howard County location. I also began teaching on the lesson of Discipleship. As it has been declared, this is the "Year of Discipling". It has been placed on my heart to initiate a shift in the culture at Spirit of Faith where by we put an emphasis on Jesus' greatest commandment.

The objective of this lesson series on Discipleship is as follows: To create a replica of the early New Testament church in a modern day form without loosing the same impact it had when Jesus walked along side of the church himself.

I am so excited to be sharing this part of the Lords' Word because I know that this is what we were saved to do. I encourage each of you to lock in on this message and concept because it will be sure to take you to another level in the things of God.

What memorable moments have you husbands created for your wife?

Tonight marked the first night of the Communication Labs for 2009 at non other than our Howard County location (Ellicott City, Maryland). It is always encouraging to see the many visitors that travel from all over the country to take the time to invest in their marriage. On this evening one of the topics that we discussed was making memorable moments (especially husbands) for our spouses. These are the moments that are never forgotten and show that you took the time to think about what makes the other person happy. Be sure to pick up the CD from this evening's communication lab, it will be sure to bless you, your life, and your marriage!

The Year of Discipleship Starts Out Right!!!

The stage was set, the people were present locally and all over the world via live feed from The Word Network, and the party began!!! Before the performance even started, the atmosphere was already filled with praise and expectation. Once Fred took to the stage, the level of worship went to the next level and it was the perfect way to start the new year. The best part of the entire evening was watching people make decisions to make Jesus Christ the Lord of their lives just seconds before midnight!!!!
