Pro Deo Church

God didn't say life will Christ will always be easy and good. When it does get tough, we need to endure and not give up. God takes all our struggles and situations and turns them around.  We just need to Keep Going

We all have things that we do as a family. Some of the things you do as a family are unique to you.  As we kick off this journey through the book of Colossians we are going to learn how to grow as a family by starting with what matters most. 

Someone's final words are really significant. We go to great lengths to complete their final instructions. Shouldn't we do so even more so with Jesus' last words he leaves us before he leaves earth?

The resurrection of Jesus was unexpected to his disciples. However, because of the resurrection Jesus reminds us that no matter where we currently in our walk of faith we are carriers of Peace, Purpose, Power and Love.

As we celebrate Good Friday, we remember this as the day where Jesus changed everything. He changed who we are and where we were heading. Happy Easter Fam

We copy a lot of things from the people we spend time with or admire.  It is usually harder to serve the people we attend church with than people outside of the church.  Jesus tells his disciples to copy him in this one thing. That is to serve each other. 

If we are going to impact lives, we are going to have to learn how to have conversations with people. Everywhere Jesus went, lives were changed because of a conversation he was willing to have with them. No matter who they were or what they did. 

Just because Jesus is with us doesn't mean we won't go through life's storms. They are really tough, but it's what you do in them that brings you our the other side changed.

In the busyness of life sometimes we just need to slow it down and take a moment to be available for others. One moment could change their lives forever.

Everyone wants to have an encounter with Jesus. We the church need to make sure that they get that opportunity. Just because people don't live the same way we do, doesn't mean Jesus doesn't want to meet with them.

We were called to live a life that mimics Jesus' life. That means we have to be different. We need to live differently from the world. So where the world picks up stones to judge and condemn, we need to show love and forgive.

As we pursue more, we can’t just sit around expecting it to happen. We have to go after it. We start off by being faithful in the small things, because if we are God steps in and blesses us with More

What everyone needs is an encounter with Jesus. We weren't called to stay in our walls we call the church, but to GO Back into our work, homes, and neighbourhood. What He has done in us will change the people around us

In our pursuit for More in our personal lives, God show's us that it is found in community. When we have people around us, we grow, we move and we become all that God has for us.

We weren't called to play it safe when it comes to putting our trust in the King of Kings In our pursuit for More of God this year, the one thing we need is more faith. Faith to believe who He is and that He is faithful to do what He says He will do.

This year, 2022, we are believing for MORE.  More for our church and for individuals. To introduce more people to our Extraordinary God. However, we need More time in HIS presence, More compassion for HIS people, and to have MORE of an expectation of what God is going to do in us.

It's hard to keep going when God has given you a word, a calling, a promise and nothing seems to change. We know it's not easy, but we see that giving up is not an option. Keep going, keep trusting, keep believing.  It's Coming

God wants to use all of us to change the world, to populate heaven. When we feel that we are not ready, God will use anything we have to change the way we think so that we can lean on him. If He can use an ordinary stick, what can He do with you?

Happy New Year everyone. It's a new year. Time to try something new.  However, we want to bring our old thinking, ways, and habits with us. If we want to step into our new season, we are going to have to let go of the old.

There are a lot of unexpected things that happen to us in our lives. However, nothing compares to the hope that came unexpectedly to us on Christmas day. 

The Hope that we received came to earth as Light. A light that is for all of us, without conditions, that gives us a purpose and is powerful to shine through your darkest moments 

We are all in a fight. It's a fight for our identity, our heart, our faith. The most important thing we need to understand is, who are we fighting. As we conclude our series of Ephesians. The apostle Paul is reminding us that we have to stand and fight. 

When dancing we need to be in step with our dance partner. The same goes for our walk with Jesus, when we are in step with him, we live a different life. 

We aren't saved by works, but we are saved for works. What we find is that growth comes from doing what we have learned. 

Do we fully understand how much God loves us? It's the craziest thing but has such a powerful impact on who we are and what we do. You need to know, GOD loves you.
