Servant leadership comes with risk and responsibility.  Knowing that when God brings something to your attention it becomes your responsibility to act and respond to it, no matter the risk.

In this new year, we must seek to live in intentional community with one another.  The best way to do that is by practicing meaningful kindness, living out purposeful compassion, and choosing Christlike forgiveness.  Ephesians 4:17-32

As 2021 comes to an end, we are reminded in this bilingual message, of the importance that our faith in Christ has in our own progression of faith.  As we welcome the baby who would one day give His life for us let us never forget that He is the initiator and perfector of our faith.  Hebrews 11:39-50 and 12:1-2.

We are to wait expectantly for the one true Son of God, Jesus Christ the Lord. Seeking God's promised truths of hope, joy, peace, and love; to be the voice in this dark world looking for answers.

As we anticipate the coming of our savior, let us be mindful that the Scriptures warn us of a deceiver that will come to fool people, even believers.  Because of that, we must always be on our guard and know who our God is, the creator and preserver of all things, and who is our true bringer of peace, Jesus the Christ!

On this week where we are full of gratitude and become thankful for all that God has done for us, God reminds us to rejoice in His goodness, treat others with love, to not be anxious, but bring our request to Him and He will grant you peace.

God calls us to be bold by stepping out in faith and trusting in His timing when serving as His hands and feet here on earth.

Let us seek God's reconciliation and as we do intentionally renew our perspective on life and God's grace.  Release our past and live in the mercy of God. Lastly, remember God's purpose and how we are saved by faith, to go tell others of His love!

God is seeking us and granting us His lessons all around. Even in the most simple of places.  Have faith, believe, and God will grant you perfect harmony to get to work according to His will.

It is our responsibility to keep building on God's legacy to direct lost souls back to their heavenly father.  2 Timothy 1:5-7

The purpose of life is to fulfill God's will in our lives, and we accomplish that through His amazing graze.  By surrendering our talents, treasures, and time in our service of others.

God doesn't merely call us to walk by His instructions but to act in His righteousness as well. Do what He says, but also live as He lived, as He showed us to live.  Knowing that our faithfulness and obedience will produce an eternal reward.  John 14

God wants to pour His wisdom into our lives, that we may live right that He may use you at any time and any pace.  Through His wisdom, we can discover comfort in God's loving care. Strength in God's help. Deliverance from our sin.  2 Samuel 12:1-12. Psalm 37, 51

When we seek an intentional connection with God He strengthens our faith in the middle of our fears, guides us in all of our decisions, brings peace in our hearts as only He can do.  Psalm 37

Three key Servant Leadership qualities that are essential include Consistency, Resilience, and Passion when it comes to understanding God's will and purpose for our lives.  It's about the big picture approach in our service to God.  1 Samuel 1:20-28 

God invites us to trust in Him when it comes to our surrender to Him and our service of others.  As we develop an attitude of gratitude, loving others and looking out for their needs will be easier.  In return, God will provide for our needs and supply our desires.

When we pray according to God's promises and seek His will for our lives, then all of our requests will be granted.  As long as we seek His will with all of our hearts and rely on His purpose rather than our own strength.  Utilizing patterns of prayers such as the A.C.T.S. model can help us focus on what God truly wants to do in us and through us.  In the end, prayer is not how we c...

Spiritual disciplines are a daily must for every believer.  We need to be sure that we are always trusting God, relying on Him to accomplish them.  Trust God with your Giving, and give as you set in your heart.  Trust God with your Praying, and ask for the desires of your heart.  Trust God with your Self-Denial and willingly serve others all for His glory and honor.

God invites us to trust Him, to accomplish many good deeds that He has already set before us. He invites us to walk by faith, knowing that He is with us, always.  How will you respond to His invitation today?

God sent His comforter that we truly may live in His power and reflect His mercy and grace in our lives.  Truly accepting all, as God has accepted us all.  Sharing His Love, serving those in need.  For His Honor and Glory.  Acts 10:34-46

God's Word will lead us into developing a Spiritual Discipline of not rushing, but trusting in God's time, seeking His guidance.  He will be the one to grant us the authority to be the person He has called us to be. May we practice the spiritual disciplines of prayer and solitude where we may hear the still voice of God.  Galatians 1:11-17

Peace is defined as the ability to handle our situations peacefully, creating opportunities for all to have a say and trusting that whatever the outcome, we will not let our troubles, our situation, and our past actions rob us of our peace.  Peace from God should lead us into agreement with God.

Forgiveness is something we must all practice.  God certainly forgives us time and time again. Therefore, we must be willing to forgive, especially those who may have hurt us.   As we do, God will work through our weaknesses to bless others.  He will not abandon us, and through His love, He will seek us and find us and restore us back to his grace.  Colossians 1:15-23 CEB
