"Fear Not"

Rector - John Hotaling

Verse: Joshua 1:9

"Have I not Commanded you? Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or discouraged for I the Lord your God am with you wherever you go."

Weekend Song:
No Longer Slaves - Zac Williams

Let us come together as CHA's (Christ's Hand in Action), lean into this scripture & fearlessly serve the candidates and each other. Men... We need to ask ourselves about the fears we have and how they affect our lives and the lives and situations around us. Our fears can hold us back from Serving our God, our Families, our Churches and our Communities. What God assignments have we missed out on? God commands us to be strong and courageous and not be afraid. He also tells us that we can have this courage if we obey and study the law. That means that we are commanded to be in the word. We can have victory with the Lord by our side.

Brothers, Will you prayerfully consider serving and walking with me on Weekend #51 as we continue to build up and equip Christian Leaders through Tres Dias. 

Your BIC,

John

Everlasting Crown

Rector - Alicia Zuspan

Verse: I Corinthians 9:25

“Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last,
 but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.”

Verse: Colossians 3:2

“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

Who am I? I am a wife. I am a boy momma.. I am a full-time employee. I am the head cook of my family. I am the chief maid. I’m a taxi driver. I am a friend. I’m a volunteer and the list goes on and on.  Those are some of the good things I am but I am also workaholic and sometimes I feel invisible. I often yell too much, and can be impatient with people, especially my children. And this list goes on and on also.  The world calls these many identities -our different hats, but for this weekend, we will call them crowns.  Our crowns come in many shapes and sizes, colors, finishes.  Some of our crowns are bright and shiny, and some of our crowns are tattered and broken.  Some of our crowns are on display for the whole world to see and some of our crowns may be hidden. 

On this weekend, it is my prayer that we embrace that we are His daughter first and believe with certainty who He says we are.  We must make room for His crown, the Everlasting Crown, the Crown that will not fade away.  It is a call to surrender who we think we are at the foot of the cross and with confidence accept our identity as His daughter, Heiress to the whole kingdom - accept His Everlasting Crown. 

The real questions in front of you are:

What crowns do you need to lay down in order to make room for His crown?  We only have one head and can only wear one crown, which crown will you choose?  The crowns that fade away or the Everlasting Crown.
