We are made new...

Every morning that the Lord decides to wake us up, is another opportunity to live Holy before Him. It is no small thing, or a coincidence, or by chance that you are alive, well, and in your right mind. It was a decision that God made to spare your life and to keep you among the land of the living to fulfill the purpose that He created you for. That alone is worthy of His praise.

With each day that we are blessed to see it is a new chance for the enemy to try to cause us to stumble. He would not be on his job if he didn't throw something at us to take our mind off of what God has ordained for our life. Find it not strange when you are tempted to do something that you know is contrary to God's word or contrary to who He has called you to be. The enemy may bring forth a situation to try to convince you to revert back to your old self and act in the manner that you use to act that was not pleasing to God.

The good news today is that you do not have to revert back to the old man. You are made new in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ Jesus, he is made new, the old has gone, the new has come!" HALLELUJAH! You are no longer a slave to your former self that willing did the work of the enemy. You are now a servant of the most high God whose power lies in you through the blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. You can call on the name of Jesus and use the power that lies in you to cast down every thought that is contrary to the Spirit of God that tries to consume you. No weapon formed against you shall prosper but He didn't say that it won't be formed.

Remember that the next time you are wondering "why me?" "why is this happening?" The enemy will form his weapons against you BUT THEY SHALL NOT PROSPER because you are made new in Christ Jesus whose Spirit now lives in you. Praise God for He is worthy.

As The Day Ends

As The Day Ends
by Ellen Bailey

As the day ends and the sun goes down, and the sun sheds its last rays of light.

I think to myself as I look around,"Have I spent my day living right?"

As the day ends and the sun goes down, I thank the Lord for this day

I have owned and as the night steals in without a sound,I feel His presence

and know I am not alone.

As the day ends and the sun goes down,

I count my many shares and blessings and recall what's right can be found.

In His wonderful teachings and lessons .

Pastors Appreciation Night

Praise the Lord for He is worthy. Friday was our Joy night service and it was a joy indeed to honor our Pastors with a night filled of love and appreciation for all that do for the Lord and for us. The bible says in Ephesians 4:11-15 (New International Version)

"11 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ......." It is our Pastors duty to train and lead us from children in Christ to strong mature servants who can go boldly before God walking out His will for our lives. This is no easy task. To instruct, chastise, love, mentor, teach, encourage, and labor among many and have all of their baggage (good and bad) on their shoulders.

As Minster Kathleen Marsh said "we ought to be glad that God saw it it fit for them to lead us." I know I am glad that they were called to this position. I can't think of anyone more worthy to be called Pastor then Anthony and Teaggra Grady for they exmplify the very essence of God's love. Their walk is one of joy, peace, long suffering, humbleness, meekness and love. Their strength is encouragble and tears are rejoyceful. They labor for souls and I am so thankful that they were obedient to God's call.

THANK YOU Pastors for your service to the Lord and to the congregration.

Being Considered

Many times throughout this christian walk we will encounter trials, tribulations, sufferings, hardships, difficulties, etc... One must remember however the endeavoring responsibility of the righteous. The task at hand appears insurmountable,my thoughts tell me to leave and give up in the faith, situations seem not to be on my side, my sins convict me beyond measure. What is it Lord. Why must I go through the many tests of life? Why must I be faced with trial after trial, day after day? The questions is why not you. In order to reign with Him the saint must suffer. In order to receive your crown of righteousness that so dearly awaits one must endure the temptations of this life. So remember the next time you consider wondering why, just know YOU ARE BEING CONSIDERED!!!

Your record will be there!!!

Praise the Lord! Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Build a very good heavenly resume. Start today by obeying God's word. No matter your past, you can clean up what you've messed up! Remember that the eyes of the Lord is in every place beholding the evil and the good. (Proverbs 15:3) He sees all and its all being recorded there in heaven on your record book. The contents of your record book will speak of the deeds you've done in this life. You will stand before a holy and righteous God to give account one day, so make it easy on yourself by confessing your sins, repenting and living a righteous life from this day forward. Your record will be there! Much love,



"The Country Boy"

It doesn't matter just know that HE'S ABLE!!!!!

Children are a blessing

"Train up a child" Proverbs 22:6

It's widely understood that your upbringing, whether it was kind or cruel, has a major influence on your attitudes and behaviors even once you've entered adulthood. This is why it is not only important but a MUST to raise your children with the principles and love that God has instructed us to. In doing this we are guarding their hearts against the wicked one until the day comes that they must choose for themselves who they will serve.

We love you New Beginnings children.
