Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks for checking in again! I wanted to wish all a Happy Thanksgiving! Their is plenty to thank God for this thanksgiving and I encourage you to take this time to ponder the goodness of the Lord. As you do you will begin to realize the wonders that you have to be thankful for. It may simply be for the peace in your heart, or the joy of new friend, it may be for wonderful breakthroughs in your family, your faith, or your finances. Most of all, our hearts need to be thankful for God's unchanging love for His most prized creation! People! It is an amazing thing to think that every single person you know and meet is created in the image of God. O they may not reflect Him in the way that we might hope, but that does not mean that under the surface of what we see is a person that God sees. He sees them as a prized creation, unique and special! He sees them as someone He loves so much He was willing to send His Son to die for and take the penalty for all their failures and faults, He is willing to forgive and offer them a new path to live! A pathway to life and blessing!

This Thanksgiving as you come together with family and friends be sure as you see each one of them again, see them through the eyes of God! See them with the love of God, with the heart of God and with the hope of God. Then with His love shining through you, show them an example of how much He loves them with your love! It is the season for miracles!

May God use you mightily to change your world! Happy Thankgiving! PB

The Journey has begun!

I am so blessed and thrilled to see how many have committed to the adventure we have started on. An adventure through the pages of the Old Testament is a walk with God that unfolds the power of His love and goodness. It is a record of His desire to have a people with whom He can have the ultimate blessing of being in community together.

You and I are a wonderful part of God's dream to have a people who would be an expression of His goodness on the earth. I wonder if people really knew that they were designed for this purpose how it would change their perspective on life? Perhaps they would gain new insight for their lives, feel a deeper connection to the spiritual world, or even finally acknowledge that God is, and has a plan for their life.

Invite a friend to come who might be interested in a walk through the OT! You might be amazed at their response! God has a dream for them too!

Have a bold day! PB

It"s been a while!

Hey I'm back at it! It is a new season and new day!

I know that the summer has been great but I expect the fall to be the greatest ever! Our focus to repair what is broken in this world is a God designed purpose starting with repairing the broken relationship people have with their Creator and Heavenly Father! We have a world to touch with His love and I thank God every day that we get to do this together! Keep up the good work bringing people to church on Sunday! The lives that are being touched are awesome!

I can't wait for the journey to start this month! We will journey through the pages of history and revelation that is ours in the Bible beginning from Genesis! What a time it will be together on Wednesday nights! Be ready for God's blessing as you study and understand His word!

The Biblical New Year is coming and I will be taliking about a Happy Day like no other for our lives this Sunday. Pass this on!

Thanks for making the swing to a one Sunday Service plan for the summer a great success! I know that God is preparing and getting us ready for a great return of the culture to the Lord.

This leads me to these next comments. In the last few weeks as I have been out and about town I have seen some interesting things being done by what I consider cults that masquerade as the truth. I have seen big banners, sandwich boards and other advertising trying to entice people into an introduction meeting of these various deceptive groups. The truth is I have not seen these things in quite a while.

What does it mean?
It means that a lot of questions are being spoken into the atmosphere by people who are calling out for answers. it may be in conversations among friends or just people speaking to the air. The enemy is picking up the sound and creating opportunities to deceive people through these false religions. What a time for us to step up!
The Bible says when the enemy comes in, like a flood God will raise up a standard against him. God is raising us up as a body of believers to answer the questions being asked, to raise up a standard of truth and to be aggressive in our goals to reach the city with the love of God.
Join me in these days of prayer to wage a spiritual war against these strategies of the enemy and be bold to share the truth.
Remember you are God's standard! We can make a difference!
Love God, Love people, Love Life!
Pastor Brad

Hey! I need feedback on the Sunday service? How's the parking? How's the one service? Should we have an early morning service? I love being your Pastor!

I can feel the prayers of the saints! You are all doing a wonderful job. Keep it up! We are on a great power surge for the Kingdom. Today is the day we celebrate God giving us His word on Mt Sinai. It is also the day that the power of the Holy Spirit fell on the disciples waiting in the upper room! Can you imagine the fear struck into the heart of the enemy when this power to go into all the world fell on the disciples? That power is what gives us the authority and drive to share the love of God with those around us with boldness!

If someone you were talking to had a big smudge of dirt on their face or perhaps a smear of chocolate sauce from the brownie they just finished and you didn't tell them that they needed to take a look in the mirror, would you be considered a friend? If you left them to wonder why everyone is grinning when they walk by, some even pointing and laughing and they figure it out wouldn't they feel like you let them down big time? That is what we do when we do not share with people that God has an incredible life for them. He wants to cleanse their heart, to give them real hope and joy, and free them from the fears and destructive forces of this world!

A gift can only be received if it is offered! Lets be bold with the Holy Spirit power to offer the gift of God though Jesus Christ! Today may be the day they say yes!

Great news! Joseph Shulam and Jimmy McClintock came in a day early and will be in the service tonight May 23rd, and will continue on teaching through the weekend. This mini conference on discovering the Biblical roots of our faith will inspire you in a powerful ways you cannot imagine. Make an effort to be here! Show your support of Israel and the work of Netiviyah. Remember the promise to Abraham, I will bless those who bless you!

See you tonight! Bring someone with you! PB
