WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS

1. Sorry this is late, but better late than never (-:

2. Well my weekend was both quiet and busy (if that's possible)

3. On Saturday I had the privilage of officiated a beautiful wedding, congratulations to the new bride and groom.

4. On Sunday we welcomed our guest speaker Min. Kenneth Cole who preached the final message from our Singles Month Series: "LIVING SINGLE"

5. The Message he preached was both challenging and encouraging, as he challenged us to focus first on having an intimate relationship with Christ before we focus on having one with people. Lives were truly changed and blessed during our Sunday Worship Experience.

6. This coming Sunday we begin our Brand New series entitled: 'DO SOMETHING'.

7. This series will be both thought-provoking and life-changing as we as a Church seek to become more effective in serving and making a difference in the lives of others, while finding even greater fulfillment in our relationship with Jesus Christ.

8. Invite as many as you can to Church on this coming Sunday for the beginning of this life-changing series.

9. Don't forget to call in TONIGHT to our Mid-Week Connections Bible Study Conference Call. Tonight I will be teaching a lesson that will focus on the FAMILY, from our current teaching Series entitled: "The Proverbs Adventures".  Invite as many of your family on the line, it will be a blessing to your whole family.

10. Finally, as Easter approaches let's not forget the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for us at Calvary, He is truly worthy to be praised. Remember John 3:16

REAL FRIENDSHIPS ARE BUILT UPON...
1. Loyalty
2. Trust
3. Reciprocation
4. Refining
5. Forgiveness

Do you know who your REAL Friends are?

WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS

1. My Saturday was busy during the A.M.

2. I spent the early part of my morning with my Pastor and Spiritual Covering along with some great local Senior Pastors as I sat on an Ordination Examination Council with them, examining some wonderful Ordination Candidates for the office of Elder and Deacon. It was a very refreshing experience and awesome to see God elevate Men and Women in Ministry.

3. The CCFC Children Ministry had an awesome 'MOVIE DAY' on Saturday. I am so proud of Sis. Dominique and her team for investing in our King's Kids Children as they do. They have a pure heart for our Children. If your child is not involved in our King's Kids Children's Ministry I would encourage you to get them connected.

4. Our Sunday Morning Worship Experience was absolutely incredible. From our Dance Ministry to our King's Kids Singing to our Our Guest Speaker, Elder David Moore, who brought a timely Word for both the Singles and Married folks. What an awesome, relevant and practical Message he preached from 1st Samuel 16:1-7, lives were changed and God was given the Glory!

5. We're another step closer to our 'DO SOMETHING' launch date which is Sunday April 3, 2011 during our 11:00 a.m. Worship Experience.  Invite as many as you can to church with you that day, it's going to be exciting and life-changing. We're going to make our lives count for the Kingdom.

6. Invite as many as you can on our Tuesday Night Mid-Week Connections Bible study Conference Call tomorrow Tuesday March 22, 2011 @ 7:45 p.m. It'll be another timely Word for the Week.

THINGS I HAVE A LOW TOLERANCE FOR

I have prayed that God would give me patience to deal with the following:
1. Stupidity
2. People who are stuck in their Ways and who resist change
3. Chronic Liars
4. When People talk to you like you're stupid
5. When you ask someone a question and they didn't hear you and answer you "what?"
6. When you talk to people and they pretend like they don't hear you.
7. Teenagers (and anybody for that matter) who use multiple curse words in sentences.
8. Arrogant/Overly confident People

STAY TUNED FOR MORE TOMORROW...

EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND

Sometimes God does things or allows things to happen in our lives that we don't Understand, but that's not a reason to doubt Who He is or what He's able to do. Our finite way of comprehending things does not alter the Divinity or Sovereignty of God. He's still God and besides Him there is no other. We have to trust Him even when we can't Trace Him! He's still All-knowing, All-seeing, All-sufficient and He has All Power! We must yield ourselves and our Situations TOTALLY to Him and just because it seems to be too much for us, it doesn't mean it's too much for Him, in fact because it seems to be too much for us, that makes it obviously that it's just enough for Him. Matthew 11:28 (NIV) says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" -- Be Encouraged Somebody!
