One long week!

My fellow people of God, I am asking that you please pray for me. These days of ministry have been long and hard! It just seem like new challenges just keep on coming. I am not going through any storms or anything like that, it seem like every time I nail down one end of the board the other end pops up.Well just a quick recap of the week,we had a great Lord's Day service at New Life 11:00 am worship. The Lord allowed me to talk from Colossians 1:15-18,Who is the historical Jesus. At 3:30 We had to go to the New Way Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Bishop Dr.Reginald Black,Sr. for their annual friends and family day. I had to preach that service, the Lord blessed in a great way.It is always refreshing to preach to people who are hearing you for the first time, their reaction and response never cease to amaze me. People have to get out of the habit of thinking they have already heard all of God's capable preachers.It's a good a good feeling when people are blessed by The Lord using us as Preachers.It's just funny that they assume because they have not heard of you that you can't preach, or that you are just alright.
Well enough of that, I had a tough week one our members woke up Tuesday morning and found her father had had passed away after a long battle with cancer.Please pray this is going to be the third funeral in less than a month. After only one funeral in the first six years of Pastoral leadership, it has taken it's toll. I canceled our bible study this week. I am also asking could whoever read this please pray for my brother in ministry Rev.Barry Severe of the Full Gospel Baptist Church, I just learned he had some health challenges. In spite of all The Lord is still good,can I get an amen.


Be blessed

New Life Institute recap

Last night we finished the third part of "Grace through faith" from the Gospel according to Jesus. We concluded looking at the pillar of that statement from Ephesians 2:8. The Lord has been good through this study from John MacArthur's historic book.The people of God has been blessed and challenged from the series thus far. We had a great Lord's day service this past Sunday also,I am just getting it in now since I have not blogged in sometime.I was extremely excited for my friend an brother Pastor Clinton Smith and the First Goodwill Family.If anyone have not had a chance check out the pictures on the his church web-site or blog page they have done a great job renovating their worship location. The work the that was done was inspirational to anyone who is about the Lord's business. I have to say kudos to my brother and ask everyone to continue to pray for him and the church family.

Lord's day worship recap

Yesterday was a unusual day of worship at New Life,we had almost as many visitors as members.Our worship experience was extremely challenging because I am still suffering from a severe cold.I tried to press through delivering God's word through adverse circumstances. The Lord gave me strength to preach from 2Corinthians 4:7-10,"I talked about God uses weak people".The Lord still blessed the service,we got two young ladies who came by christian experience.Please pray for the New Life family we are finally starting to make a impact in the immediate community.
