We must start encouraging others. There are a lot of people going through things and sometimes they just need a word of encouragement. Sometimes we are so consumed with our problems we don't think about others. Some people want to hear Hold on from someone that is really Holding on. When you encourage others it actually helps you forget about your problems and makes you become a happier person. In today's society we have a tendency of not wanting others to do well and we like to break others down. Starting today I urge you to become selfless and help others.
 Moving from Milk to Meat was our theme a couple years ago. Pastor was pushing the church to grow spiritually. Now it's time to take a self assessment and examine ourselves to see if we have truly moved from Milk to Meat. For instance, do you read your Bible more and attend pray service? Are you worry free because you know who holds tomorrow? Let's us know your thoughts!  What more perfect Gift to recieve than the Gift of Jesus. Sunday was Christmas and Pastor Moore preached about God's Indesccribable Gift. The text came from 2Corithians 9-15. The four points in the sermon were: 1.He was Promised 2.Part of the Plan 3.His gft was proven and 4.Causes Praise. What I gained from this sermon was that Jesus was born so that we may have peace. Let's us know what you gained from the Sermon?  According to the Mayo Clinic here are 7 reasons to Exercise: 1.Controls Weight 2. Combats health conditions and diseases 3. Improves mood 4.Boosts energy 5.Promotes Better Sleep 6. Puts the spark back in your life 7.Can be fun Lets make sure we are healthy to do ministry in 2012! The 3000lbs community challenge is approaching!  What better day to celebrate the birth of Christ than on a Sunday! Make sure you join us for an awesome Birthday Celebration for Jesus! Remember Jesus is the Reason for the Season so don't stay at home because it's Christmas. Will you be celebrating the real reason for the season?  If you didn't make it to church on Sunday you missed an awesome Sermon by Rev. Christopher Moore. His Sermon was entitled "Ordinary Person, Extraordinary Responsibility." He taught us what it means to really be blessed and highly favored. He also shared that God can use anyone no matter their background. For instance, in the text God used a virign Mary to have his Child. The three points in the sermon were: 1.Person designed by God 2. Plan designed by God 3.Power-depend on God. What did you get from the Sermon?  This time of year people are giving gifts and services to others. Some people are helping at the Missions while others have adopted families. Although it is great to give back during this time of year it is even better to help others 365 days a year. How do you give back?  The New Year is approaching and that means new commitments. What are some of your commitments/resolutions that you will make as a Christian? For instance, start attending Fulfillment Hour, pray more often and have more faith.  This is the season where a lot of people are working hard to buy Christmas gifts but how many people are working hard to please God? Although it is nice to receive gifts, we have forgotten the real reason for the season. Just remember that Christmas is to celebrate the life of Jesus!
