I have been reading the “Red Letters” of the Bible and after reading today’s I am struck by two things… First: the fact that the deception during the end times is going to be at such a high level that even the elect are going to be strongly tempted to believe it. I am...
Missions Update And Thanks
posted by Pastor Johnathan
In the last few hours of work before our JFC Kids trip, I wanted to blog a quick update and pass along a thank you from our recent “Missions Moment” with Larry Goode, one of our missionaries working in Peru. Tomorrow morning we board a plane and head down to this wonderful country where we will be doing street ministry and Vacation Bible School with 130 orphans. We are so excited to head down there and know amazing things are going to happen in and through us. We’re excited to again work with Larry Goode and his crew at the Lost Children of Peru. They have such a heart for the poor, lost and orphan of Peru...
Burnout or Sabbath?
posted by Pastor Marcus
I recently read two articles that really spoke to me. They both revolve around the principle of being intentional with our time, energy, jobs and relationships to provide sabbath and prevent burnout and I figured I’d just share them with you. I believe this is something that most, if...

Update and “PRAY”
posted by Pastor Johnathan
So much has happened since the time I last posted to this blog! I’m going to multi-task and share what’s been happening in the past 2 months as well as continue our series of “6 Ways to Get Involved and Reach God’s World”. In early January, Pastor Ben Binger (Red Student Ministries) and I took an exploratory/Pastoral visit to Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Our purpose was two-fold: The first was to connect with our missionaries there on the Island of Hispaniola, Rodney and Rhodes. We had such a good time with them, getting to know them better and encouraging them. Our second purpose was to assess and...

The following ideas are indicators but not an exact science for examining your heart. Allow the Holy Spirit to use them to sift your heart and test your motives. You know your heart may be drifting when: - Old wounds keep re-opening. - You are always waiting for your promotion and don’t...
Sabbatical
posted by Pastor John
Today I began a 60 day Sabbatical. To say I’m excited is the understatement of the year. Of course it’s only January 2nd so qualify my statement. Approximately 4 months ago I heard the Lord tell me to take this sabbatical. The scripture He used to speak to me was in Mark’s gospel. When Jesus was baptized the bible says that “Immediately” He was led into the desert…And after the testing He returned in the “Power of the Spirit”. The Holy Spirit told me to respond immediately and that I would return in the power of the spirit. The obedience to this has given me great anticipation for what The...
