Wednesday's Word 06/29/2022 SERIOUS BUSINESS Luke 10:1-11 Kingdom Business is Serious Business. It is held to a higher standard. Today the CME Church prepares to usher in a new class of leaders. We hope and pray that they realize the seriousness of their responsibilities as they are asked to carry on the work of the church. If you are asked to work in church, please consider it 'serious business'.
Wednesday's Word 06/22/2022 THE GOODNESS OF GOD Psalm 73:28 GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME, AND ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD. A very familiar phrase. Do we really understand the phrase? The goodness of God is a moral quality which constitutes excellence. In short, goodness boils down to kindness, generosity and most of all LOVE. Do you possess the goodness of God in your life?
Wednesday's Word 06/15/2022 Good Trouble 1 Kings 19:1-15 How many times have we found ourselves in trouble? Trouble that turned out to be good trouble. Today's Word encourages us to stand for justice and speak truth to power. Be willing to get into trouble, good trouble, necessary trouble.
Wednesday's Word June 8, 2022 The Sin of Indifference If you are not regarded as a human being, how does that make you feel? The sin of indifference has no emotional regard. It feels nothing. It has little regard for human life and worth. As our society plunges deeper into the abyss of mass shootings and hatred, we have to get the memo to learn how to love, to pray, and to care for each other if we are to heal our land.
Wednesday's Word 06-01-2022 UNITY IN DIVERSITY As we approach Pentecost 2022 let us confirm our diversity. It needs to be celebrated as we all have endured so much in these last 27 months since the Covid19 Pandemic hit our world. We need to realize that diversity does not require us to change our culture, it only enhances it. Diversity allows us an opportunity to come together and celebrate each other.
Wednesday's Word 05-25-2022 God vs. Culture - Which One Will Win Acts 16:16-34 Do you understand the power of culture? Culture defines us and is passed down from generation to generation. It includes codes of dress, language, religion, rituals, art, food, etc. It is powerful and extremely difficult to change. When culture comes against God, who wins? Do you understand the power of God? Yes culture is powerful and will sometimes win, but God will have the final word. When you step back and allow God to move, God will win!

The Opening Of The Heart
Acts 16:9-15
What in life is more important than our hearts?
God opens the heart and not ourselves. We must
recognize that if we are to succeed or survive in
the future. God desires for us to listen to the
Holy Spirit. God desires to have our hearts open
so that we might hear, that we might be inspired.
That we might be open to venture out so that
others might come in and join.

Are we ready to follow the Good Shepherd?
