Marriage Conference & Super Sunday

We made it... what a great weekend... We did the marriage conference on Friday and Saturday, my good friend Pastor Ron Arbaugh from CC San Antonio with his lovely wife came and spoke to our couples and brought a wonderful and timely message... this was more of a Jesus conference wrapped around in overtones of marriage... so cool.... Also another special treat... Another good friend from Santa Fe, NM who kinda taught me to play guitar came to Lubbock and did worship for the conference and Sunday Morning... ( Please pray for Josh.. we miss him) His name is Kurt (see pic) we have been friends for 18 yrs... what a blessing it was... very tired....

So anyways... what next.... Oct 22nd @ 7:00 pm " Greg Lauries" Lost Boy documentary outreach.... make sure and invite several friends.... It is going to be good...

Well this Wednesday we are continuing in our study of I Samuel 18: 1-16 ,, Sunday we are back in Acts 2:14-40- Peter's first Teaching... filled with the Holy Spirit... What a Revival.... you don't want to miss it....

I will post the pics of the marriage conference on our web-site ASAP... check out all that we have going on....

Love You

What a Great Sunday!!!

Yesterday was Amazing!! very busy but it was awesome...

Sunday Morning Service: Talked about being "filled" with the Holy Spirit of God.... get the cd...

Went and had a baptism: Jonathon was baptized and we ate pizza.. cool

from there we went to play Basketball.... yes after all that we played for about 1hr and 1/2 ...

need to get back into my game...

Then we headed back to church for a good old fashion Prayer Meeting.... we put the chairs in a circle and I taught and explained Acts 2:1-13 again... this was interactive... then we spent a hour in prayer... we prayed the " Wonderful Works of GOD"! The Lord showed up in a BIG way.... great testimonies came from this meeting... So all in all it was great....

Moving forward: This Wednesday Night we will be in I Samuel 17... In a message entitled " A Crisis in Confrontation" You don't want to miss....

This weekend we are having our Marriage Conference, My good friend Pastor Ron Arbaugh and his wife will be with us... We have a great number of couples signed up... Can't Wait...

Pastor Ron will bring the message on Sunday, with a special friend from Santa Fe leading us in Worship. Kurt Saenz has been a friend for 15 yrs... even taught me a little guitar...

Please invite a friend.... it will be great....

Well better go ...

Love ya...

The Hand of God...

Hey I thought this was cool... It is a " Cloud" that forms the hand of the Lord... Now the reason it was cool to me is because I have been studying Acts 1:9-26 and in verse 9 we see that Jesus was taken up in a " Cloud." At first read you discover that Jesus was taken in a cloud... but upon further study and knowing the O.T. for the better part of Exodus ect, we see that a cloud represents GOD's Glory... It was in a cloud that the Lord let Israel through the wilderness, it was a cloud that covered the Ark, a cloud that descended upon Mt Sinai which was the Glory of God...

So what better way to show a "cloud" that forms the Hand of God...

Be Blessed

Remember

I Love you..
