“Very little is going to happen in our generation without a lot of prayer. If we’re casual in our prayer and foolish and sloppy in our time with God and our discussions with Him about things like this, then He’ll take the Kingdom away from us and give it to those that will bear its fruit. He really wants us to participate on our knees with Him, literally on our knees with Him, urging Him and begging Him to advance His purpose in men’s hearts and to show us how we can serve Him. And if we don’t even think about it that way, and don’t even do it, if we don’t discuss it and discourse and plead with Him personally about things, then He’ll take the opportunities away from us and give it to those that will personally dialog with Him about it and plead with Him about it. So let me beg you to not only pray for one another in a personal by name sort of way, but also to pray for saints and opportunities for people around the world. This is God’s will for you...”

A New Years Post

Ok, so one of my new years resolution is to get better at blogging! There are days that I have no idea what to write about, but I wanted to let you know that this is something that I believe will help be become a better writer and hopefully, let you into my life as a pastor too.

The first series that we will be taking a look at this year is going to be "Covenant Community" and what a Christ-centered community looks like in this present age. I would love to hear your feedback as I preach too.

I believe there is much to be thankful for and that God desperately wants to use Living Hope in a powerful way this year for His Kingdom. It won't be by our own efforts or power, but as we let the Holy Spirit work in us, I believe that the God WILL USE us to impact our community and be a blessing to those around us.

Will you join me in this adventure? Let's pursue our most magnificent God together this year!

Blessing to you and yours.
