We all desire to be blessed.  The blessing comes from our trust and our hope in the Lord.  We are not talking about optimism we are talking about hope.

We need to plant ourselves close to the source.  Just like the tree that is planted by the river is strong because its roots are able to go down deep.  We must plant ourselves close to our source the living word.  Let our roots go down deep in Him.

How do we know if we have deep enough roots?

1.  Endure the Heat

2.  Overcome the Drought

3.  Stay Alive

4.  Continue to Produce

Do those four thing characterize your life?

If not then you need to get more radical.

with them to learn more about them. Remember to just be yourself.
• Indicate that you’re planning to have a group of friends and neighbors meet at
your home on ____________(day of week) for an eight-week study. This
study will give you real answers on how to experience the joy in your lives
that God wants you to have by healing our hurts.
• If you sense that they’re interested, share a little more about the study. Let
them know some of the topics it will cover, such as:
o To understand and be able to release hurts from your past
o To heal from painful relationships
o To forgive and ask others for forgiveness
o To apply God’s truths to your everyday decision-making
o To develop new lifetime habits through several components that include:
small group studies, e-mail devotions, weekly messages and Bible
verses, a book for independent reading, and more!
o To build a healthy foundation for lasting change
o To create goals that foster habits that will endure
• If they’re considering joining the group, give them your phone number and
let them know they can contact you with any other questions.
• Discuss childcare arrangements and options if necessary.
• Ask them if you can pray for them. (You’ll be surprised how positively people
respond to this).
• Give them a follow-up call or e-mail a few days letter, letting them know you
enjoyed talking with them and hope they’ll get a chance to visit your group.
• End with an inviting closing such as “I can’t wait to have you in my home,”
“I’m looking forward to you joining us,” or “Please feel free to come if you
change your mind.”

Rick will preaching beginning on January 24th for eight weeks on “Life Healing Choices”.  Did you know that you could make a choice today to find healing in your life?

13 So Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord. He failed to obey the Lord’s command, and he even consulted a medium 14 instead of asking the Lord for guidance. So the Lord killed him and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.

We see the last words spoken in Chronicles about Saul.  It is like his epitaph.  What will your epitaph read?  What will be said about you when your life here on this earth is said and done?  Saul life it seems was shortened because of his unfaithfulness to God.  God had given to him a great responsibility but he failed to fulfill it.  Let us be found faithful to the call of God upon our lives.

There were 43 God-sent, crazy, wild, fun, nocturnal, and hungry people there!

Were you there? If so comment on it here in our blog.

I really got to know a lot of folks this weekend and it was amazing. There are so many smart and fun people in our youth group. If you think Friday night was fun then you are in for a treat; we are planning a big year and this is just the start! Please don’t be left out, get involved. Be there on Wednesday night and Sunday mornings.

A special thanks goes out Ryan Dowling for her help. She did a great job teaching us in the Bible study lessons and worked tirelessly in watching, caring and serving the youth in this event.

Last but not least I would like to say : “Thank you LORD for the privilege of serving in this ministry”.

Seeya on Wednesday!!

P.S. - Stay tuned for pictures, they will be posted in the Media/Pictures page soon.
