Friday Night Souled Out.

Good Afternoon,
Tonight at Souled Out we are going to try and answer a huge question.  This question is one that many have tried to answer.  We are going to see what happens when we put the Guys against the Girls in a series of competitions.  We are tied at one win a  piece right now and we are going to have a great time finding out who can edge out the other.  Going to have some food and a great time.  Will have some pictures of tonight up tomorrow.

 Have a great Day.

They That Wait Upon The Lord

Isa 40:28  Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
Isa 40:29  He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Isa 40:30  Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
Isa 40:31  But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Good Morning all out there.

Just sitting in my home away from home.  I love coming to the church early on a Saturday morning.  There is just nothing better.  Sitting here listening to some music and just talking to God is the best way to spend a early Saturday Morning.  This place I do not think I can get tired of coming to.  My Dad took this church back in 1991 or around there and you know what the building has not changed to much from when we started to come but you know it is just so much fun and I am excited each time that I am able to come through those doors.  On any given week I am coming to Gods house at least 4 times a week.  It has never gotten old and it has always been a good time each and every time I am here.  I know what you are thinking, there is no way you could go to the same place year after year and day after day and think that it is something that is fun or exciting.  You might be thinking that I don’t enjoy going to the same place all the time.  You are right; if it was any other place it grows old really fast.  I am not coming to a building all the time you are right in thinking if I came to a building day in and day out it would get boring.  I am coming to a place where my Jesus is.   I come to a place that I know he is going to be there.  I know I can pray at home and talk with him at home and through the day but there is just something different about going to his house.  As a kid I remember when friends would come over to my house to play and we would have a great time.  The thing is there is something different and some times more fun about going to some one else house to play and have a good time.  The same idea applies here,  it is alright to talk with Jesus at my house but it is cooler to go to his house and spend time with him.  What is it that has kept me walking with him all this time.  What is it that keeps me going day after day.  It is the scriptures at the top.  Even in the times when I really don’t feel like seeing him when I walk in the doors of his house something happens.  When I lift up my hands and worship him even though the world might be falling apart around me I feel his presence and he renews me.  As I wait on him he gives me the strength to make it through.  The situation might not have changed but after I leave his house I feel a million times better,  It is almost like going to a good friends house and leaving with a full stomach and a smile on your face having enjoyed the time you just spent with your friends.  When you leave the house of the Lord you leave full and with a big smile on your face knowing you just spent some good quality time with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  He is just so Awesome and wonderful.  So don’t stop where you are and say ok God renew me now won’t work.  Get to his house and just spend some time with your closest friend and when you are at his house you are able to hear his word and you are able to spend time with him.  That is why it is important to get connected with a church family.  They are going through the same things that you are and if you get together with Jesus he renews and refreshes and gives you the strength to put one foot in front of the other.  We need him cause my strength will fail but he will never fail and will never ever let you down.


Hope all have a great night.
