So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.

Weekend RECAP: Mother’s Day

What if there was something you could tap into that offered both instant gratification AND longterm benefits? What if this something was available to everyone, despite age or gender or demographics or background? Sounds too good to be true, right?

What if that “something” is confidence?

This past weekend Pastor Kevin talked about “Life Gets Better When Confidence Gets Bigger.” There are a lot of people who may consider confidence as one of those motivational, feel-good, surface-only kinds of things. But, the Bible clearly tells us, So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.” The truth is that confidence gives you the instant gratification of feeling better about yourself and what you’re doing, and it ACTUALLY makes your life better in the long run. We can trust that confidence maintained in our mind produces rich rewards in our lives. Think about it, confidence changes the way you pray, it changes how you think, and

A Spark of Love

It’s an interesting question. Can a spark of God’s love light a fire in your? In your church? In your community? nation? world?

We did this song, “Spark” by The City Harmonic a couple months ago as a First Five at Champions Centre.

As you go about your day today, or your week this week, consider if there is a fire burning inside of you. What are you passion about? And, what are you doing about it? 

 Here are the Lyrics:

Could a spark of Your love light a fire in me
Just a spark warm my cold heart
It’s the living that breathe
When I breathe in
Hope I breathe in
Create some meaning again
And I breathe in, peace will be there
Just a stream of love
Ohhh

This little light’s gonna shine
With just a spark to light a fire
Just a spark

Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.

 ~Marion C. Garretty, quoted in A Little Spoonful of Chicken Soup for the Mother’s Soul

Happy Mother’s Day!

Weekend RECAP: How What We Do on Earth Matters in Eternity

Pastor Kevin began his message last weekend with a confession: “Every week at Champions Centre things happen that we don’t know how they happen.”

He went on to explain a couple truths to further clarify his confession:

  • There are things we do that we know how to do.
  • There are things that God does that we cannot do.
  • There is a link between what we do and what God does… God does what we cannot do when we do what we can do.

A Collision for Success

Last weekend at the Kingdom Builders Advance, Pastor Kevin talked about five things that can change everything. Looking at the life of Nehemiah, one of the things he brought up was “Preparation.”

Nehemiah’s life had prepared him for his opportunity. He was uniquely prepared for his assignment.

Opportunity favors the prepared.

“Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good, it’s the thing you do that makes you good!” Malcolm Gladwell in Outliers

Opportunity collides with preparation and that is success.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Matthew 7:7-8 NIV
