Hey, friends, sorry for being delayed on this, I’ve been under the weather for the past 24 hours. Anyway, yesterday I looked at the 2nd story of Creation and wanted to challenge us in a couple of ways. First, that we are created to be at work serving God and His kingdom. Second, as we read about the Corinthian church Paul reminds us that we are all called to serve, but ultimately the glory and credit go to God and Him alone. Your thoughts?
Scriptures referenced:
- Genesis 2.4-15
- Deuteronomy 5.10, 1 Samuel 7.1, Jeremiah 31.10 (use of the Hebrew word for keep, watch, guard, take care of)
- 1 Corinthians 3.5-9
- John 7.38, 2 Peter 3.18
See you soon!
Blessings
Pastor Bryon

Nothing you or I do on this earth is about us we should know and do it for the Lord our God. We are not finished growing spiritually until we die but I feel that only goes for us while we are on earth and I also believe that when we get to heaven that starts a new chapter and that it continues from our earthly lives, and in heaven I believe that our spiritual growth continues but in a more glorious gracious and powerful view and that it will continue through eternity forever and always.
I believe that the start of my missionary work is to first and foremost to help this church family and community then move onto other places. So by starting here I want to get everyone on fire for God!! I want to see everyone in this community to strive for the Lord. Those who do not go to church I want to somehow help them to get into church any church around the community. I want to plant seeds in their hearts and I cannot do this alone I will and know I have to get my help from God!! Also I want to help each and everyone of you to do more for the Lord. We all need to fulfill our duties and work for the kingdom of God. Don’t be afraid to get up and go out and do that job!! And prayer is one of the main keys for us to be able to do this. But when you pray you need to be sincere, truthful, and mean what you pray for. You need to be faithful and thankful. I myself the number one thing that I do or at least try to do when I pray is to be sincere. I believe that if you are not sincere then why pray? why believe? I want to see each and everyone of you including myself to get up go out and do something. we need to get this community to all stand up for the lord and when you do this do it for the Lord not yourselves…
