Romans 10:9-10

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

• Utwisi enim ad minim
• quis nostrud exerci tati

Duis autem vel eum iriure dolor in hendrerit

Shepherd's Message

When the spirit of God controls our lives, God orders our steps. As I live out the call and purpose of my life, it is not important how much I have gained from a material standpoint, but it is important how much I have grown spiritually.

The world measures a man by his ability to acquire material things. It says that it takes many things to be a great man, but the word of God teaches us that the spirit of God is bigger than all the things of the world. Matthew 16:26 asks, "For what is a man profited, if he sall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" The spirit of God is more important than the things of this world. The things of this world will perish, but the spirit of our God will live forever.

I have a renewed spirit in God. I am a victor through him and I am a winner and a conqueror. I thank God for allowing me to serve as the sheperd of the "The Grove", for each trial and each blessing. I thank him for the old church on the hill that paved the way for the beautiful edifice we now enjoy. I thank Him for Jean and Benny and each new day. He so graciously allows me to see, I thank Him for each of you.

I challenge each of you to read Psalms 51:1, 10: "Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me".

Yours in Christ,
