The God Who Erases Our Mistakes

Posted on by
Reply
These were the words I heard as I sought the Lord for our Good Friday Service. While the whole world recognizes Good Friday as the day Jesus died, this year, we want to recognize it as the beginning of our mistakes being erased. Yes, that’s right. We serve a God who erases our mistakes. That why the scripture says, “as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us (Psalm103:12) and, “For I will be merciful to their wrong-doing, and I will never again remember their sins.(Hebrews 8:12) That’s why we say our sins are forgiven, past, present and future! Friends, there is nothing you can do to change how much God loves you.

 

Please don’t make the mistake of telling yourself, “I’m forgiven“, then live a life that’s not pleasing to God. The bible also says the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Sin is destructive. While God’s love for us never changes, even in our mistakes, the quality of life we experience will be difficult and painful. Why live in sin when we’ve been delivered from it? Jesus is our advocate who is standing with us to beat anything we need erased in our life.  Join us Good Friday as we celebrate the One who erases our mistakes. We have a special presentation that will absolutely bless your socks off and reinforce the fact that we serve the God who erases our mistakes!

Come with a great expectation. We love you.

Sincerely,
Pastor Dino
Mat 6:33

God paid for your security!

Security….everyone is concerned about their security these days.

As crazy as it can be out there, the good news is we have eternal security as followers of Jesus Christ. God made Him to be sin so we could become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Friends, we are in right standing with God because Jesus is perfect, not because we are perfect. If we base our right standing with God on our performance, we will all fall short.
So be at ease in your eternal security. God paid a great price by sending Jesus to pay for your salvation.  Let’s respond to it by living for God more every day. Let’s read our Bibles. Let’s come to church expecting great things. Let’s serve each other. Let’s walk in love. And most important, let’s tell others about this wonderful God who loves and accepts people right where they are.

I love you and make it a great week.

Failure is an event not a person!

He doesn't view you as a failure!

God has an alternate ending for you- meaning no matter how terrible you think your situation is, God can still put you on top.
It's easy to feel like a failure when we find ourselves in adversity. The good news is, failure is an event not a person. God loves you and doesn't view you as a failure. You are His child and God doesn't make junk. It's time to pick ourselves up again because failure isn't falling, it's refusing to get back up. God is picking you up today. God wants to walk through that failure with you and help you turn it around.  We serve a God of miracles who wants to miraculously help you. Won't you trust him to do it? Run to Him not from Him. We promise that you will find a loving father who accepts you just the way you are and ever ready to help you become all you can be in Christ!
We love you so much. Accept the alternate ending God has for you and make it a great week.

It’s the Little Foxes

Watch out for little foxes!

Little foxes spoil the vine, a simple yet profound statement. It's not the big things that usually trip us up; rather those little things over time, that separate us from the life God has for us. But God has an alternate ending for you!

If you can say little things have pulled you away from a vibrant relationship with Jesus, the good news is little things can get us back! Little things like having an expectation on Saturday nights before church, or attending a small group, or Wednesday night Bible studies. How about just raising your hands in the worship service? Reading a chapter of the Bible a day? Helping another believer in need? Praying in the Spirit on your drive times? Begin doing the little things and watch your walk with God come alive!

Friends, It's never too late to begin again. God is waiting with outstretched arms ready to help you even in your weakest moment. Won't you trust Him today with the alternate ending He has for you?

I love you and make it a great week!

Did your kids enjoy Wet Wednesdays last summer?

Maybe they missed it but heard all about it from their friends?

Well do they like getting soaked, eating fun food, and having a great times with friends? We thought so!

They won’t want to miss “Shipwrecked” this Summer on Wednesday nights, July 11 – August 29th!

Each night will have fun beach themed snacks like “octadogs”, “sand pail” pudding, “ocean fun” cupcakes, “fish bait” mix and more.

We will also have great beach themed games and activities every week, like beach relays, sand castle competitions, miniature sail boat racing and more!

But that’s not all!

Each week they will have lessons from the life and journeys of the Apostle Paul:

  • Giving second chances
  • Encouraging others
  • Having a good attitude
  • Putting others first
  • Giving God credit
  • Choosing good friends
  • Being proud to be a Christian
  • Sharing the good news with others.

Plus rocking worship as usual! All this and more… FREE! Kids are encouraged to come dressed in beach attire and bring a towel each week!

Note: The above details pertain to myLIFE Troy. Check with your campus’ children’s pastors to find out more about your participation.

Note: If you would like to volunteer to help or to prepare some of the fun snacks for the summer please let us know!

Gratefulness is the cure to anger

Posted on by

Have you ever gone down the should have, would have, could have road? We've all done it.

Allowing ourselves to entertain these thoughts can get us angry and can drive us towards a bad ending.   But God wants to give us an alternate ending!

God loves us based on His love for Jesus, not based on our actions.  Meditating on the love of God will give us an alternate ending. God promises that He has good plans for us and desires for us to prosper in EVERY area of our lives.

The cure to the anger problem begins with gratefulness. Find something to be grateful about today.

Pray this out loud:
Father I thank you that I'm saved. I thank you for the life you've given me. I thank you for my family. I thank you for my home, my job. I thank you for waking me up this morning and loving me beyond measure. I believe TODAY you are perfecting all that concerns me because YOU love ME.

I love you and make it a great week.
