Pastor's Blog - October 2013


Greetings Family of God,

What a summer we had!  From the great weather we enjoyed during Family Camp at Lake Lopez to the last few sweltering weeks, we have seen God do some really great things.  Our Children’s Summer Camp and Vacation Bible School really ministered to our children, with many receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit and being baptized in water.  Our youth “camp out” at Pastors Jeremy and Kelli’s house brought a great spirit of unity to our youth.  Who will ever forget the bear encounter at Family Camp? Finally, how awesome it has been experiencing the increased outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our services.

Over the last several weeks, we have heard of the many things that we are facing as believers as Christ’s return draws near.  Even though we may reflect on the past, what is God having you to do for the future, for your life, for your family, for His Kingdom?  I want encourage you with Matthew 6:33 – “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.”

God, in His goodness and grace, has so many things for us.  We have to take a step of faith and take hold of them to see what He will do.  As we participated in the events mentioned above this summer, we would not have had the experiences we had if we did not step out and do them.  Don’t miss out on what God has for you during this season.  Step out so you will experience the blessings He has for you and see the promises He will fulfill through you.

Blessings,

Pastor Ryan
