    Preparing For People

    Are you ready to receive 3000 people today? 1000?500? 5? 1? What do we need to do to prepare to receive those that God has placed just outside our doors?

    Tell the person next to you, “It’s no coincidence… that you are here.” “God brought you here!” We need to understand that the only reason people talk about God, or come to church, is because God draws them. That is why we need to be prepared. Bob called his wife from work in the middle of the ...read more

    I want to take a look at an individual who was maxed-out emotionally. He was running on empty and had no margin left in his life. After he took it to the limit, God intervened, and in the process, taught him a few things.

    Running on Empty Some of you know that I like to work out. I enjoy running, bike riding and the stair stepper. When we lived in Rockford, I went to the Fitness Center one day and decided to try out the treadmill. It didn’t look all that difficult so I jumped on and started walking. After a few ...read more

    Faith Filled Mother

    Good is no longer good enough. Okay is no longer acceptable. It’s time to experience God’s possibilities. It’s time to experience God’s blessings. It’s time to walk in faith.

    Tell the story from the mother’s perspective. Can you say all things are possible with God? Tell your neighbor, “Don’t judge me now, because God’s ain’t finished with me yet”. Tell your neighbor, “You need to be confident”. Now quote Phil. 1:6 with me. Alice and I visited a church this week. ...read more
