Small Church Pastors

We are in the process of developing concepts to provide encouragement to small churches, to walk along side these pastors, and to lift them up. Perhaps you need prayer or simply someone to talk to. Or you need to share heart wrenching matters with someone you can trust. Or maybe you have not heard from God lately and you are feeling God has abandoned you.

We will be posting information on the Small Church Pastors page as God gives it to us. Knowing how it has helped you will be of great encouragement to us. So leave us your comments. You may also contact us directly by leaving a comment. Your email address will not be published.

Also, check out the Other Side of Death page for a fresh perspective of man and God.

Wisdom: Dealing With Infirmities

Below are my notes of a sermon by Pastor Stuart Johnson of Grace Community Church, Houston, Texas delivered on November 9, 2008. The information impacted me so, that I wanted to share it with you. My hope is that it will also bless you as it has me. Return to it over and over again to keep these principles fresh in your mind.

He Healed All Our Infirmities (Inadequacies)
Isaiah 53:4-5, Mat 8:16-18, 2 Cor 12:9-12

Infirmities – Sickness, diseases, anxiety (caused by feelings of inadequacy)  Scriptural references: Phil 213, 4:13-, 1 Cor 1:26-31, Mark 11:22-26, 2 Kings 2:9-14 (Mantle – God’s grace)

Principles learned over a life-time of being placed by God in situations when I felt totally inadequate. When I asked myself, why me? When I exclaimed, “I’m not ready!”

• God has chosen the weak to accomplish great things for His kingdom.
• When God leads you to do something, God will provide the resources. Resources are not your problem.  Your responsibility is to say YES.
• Resources will be there when you need them, not before. It won’t happen until you get in the chair (your dreams and aspirations). Your dreams and aspirations are in the chair. God provides the grace for your current position. (Grace – Resources and accomplishments at Christ’s expense)
• Don’t look too far into the future because you will get overwhelmed Mat 6:34.
• God’s grace is like a coat. God gives grace (a coat) to a pastor at a particular church assignment. The coat stays at that position. God provides a new coat for your new chair. In between assignments, you will experience feelings of inadequacies. God provides grace for that too. It may not always feel like it. Nevertheless, it is still true.
• Don’t compare yourself to others; their coat is a different size. Why am I this way? Why can’t I perform, relate, produce, speak like someone else you admire? Each coat is a different size. God can give you a coat that fits you perfectly!
• What you must do is give God your talents and gifts (even yourself) to be used for His glory. And watch God work!

“The Other Side of Death” CD Project

We are on a mission to distribute 100 of these CD’s per month about life on The Other Side of Death. If you have been one of those who have received this CD, we would love to hear from you.

We began a very limited distribution in Charlotte, NC in September 2008. On our next visit to that city in the spring, we hope to multiply our distribution many folds. We expect to begin distribution in Houston by December 1st, in the vicinity of FM 1960 and Veterans Memorial.

Our hope is that Jesus will use this CD to reach our target audience – the unchurched and the unbeliever. We would love to hear about its impact or lack of impact on your life or the lives of your family and friends. So be generous and share it with them, won’t you?

The Will of God

The will of God! What is the will of God? “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: That if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. “And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked of him.” (1 Jn 5:14-15, NIV).

Be Careful What You Pray For

Be careful what you pray for. You just might get it! Why do people say that? Where did it come from? I want what I pray for! I wish God would answer all my prayers just like I pray them!What does that mean any way: “Be careful what you pray for”? Click here to read more … Be Careful What You Pray For

God: The Other Side of Death

Do you ever think about life after death? All of us have experienced the death of a family member or close friend. But I wonder, do you ever think about your own appointment with death? Do you ever give serious thought to your own death? What is death, really? Click here to read more … The Other Side of Death

Some persons won’t even consider their own death. They won’t think about it and don’t want others to even mention it. But everybody here has an appointment with death. Click for full text… The Other Side of Death
