It's been a while

It's been a while since my last post. There's a good reason for that...I finally took a few days off. It's been non-stop action at Jubilee since the beginning of the year and I saw an opportunity to relax and took advantage of that opportunity.

We had a great time as a family. I was also able to squeeze in a little fishing. I would love to show you pictures of the all the fish I caught, but unfortunately I struck out.

More posts will be coming soon.

No Jubileeite Left Behind

The elders at Jubilee Church are determined to leave no Jubileeite behind this year for our Newfrontiers usa Midwest Celebration. To help ensure that is true we are paying for everyone who signs up by April 27th. To help offset this expense, we will be taking an offering on April 27 and May 4 to send everyone. Be praying about what God wants you to give.

If you have never been, it is an outstanding time of being together, worshiping God and hearing outstanding teaching from guys like Terry Virgo and John Lanferman.

Man vs Wild

Jubilee's men's retreat is just a week away. If you haven't sign up, email office@jubileestl.org to let us know you're going. If you need more info, follow this link.

We'll be camping out just 20 miles south of this morning's earthquake! But don't worry, earthquakes don't strike twice in the same place...or is that lightning? Anyway, it'll be fun no matter what.

Celebrating - Good for the Soul

I've had a few days to reflect on our celebration Sunday and my conclusion is a happy soul. It felt like heaven. I agree with the Psalmist who says, "For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting." In other words, it feels right and it is right. Everything that day was great: the fellowship time (thank you Pat, Sophia, Donna, Maxine and Norma Jean for preparing the food), fantastic testimonies from Faith, Martin, Daniel, Patricia, and Tom B, and, of course, the exuberant praise with thunder sticks.

We must never forget how good God is. One of the traps of the enemy of our soul is to get us to forget. That's why David says in Psalm 103, "Bless the Lord Oh my soul and FORGET NOT His benefits." And what are the benefits? He has saved us and separated us from our sin and it will never, never, never, never be counted against us (praise Jesus!). And more than that He has raised us up with Christ and has made us co-heirs to the kingdom and co-laborers in expanding the Kingdom. We have this unbelievable privilege to be an ACTIVE participant is seeing the lives of others changed forever. We are about changing being people's forevers. And the good news is that is happening on a regularly basis at Jubilee. And all I can say to that is praise Jesus! For He is good!

Bible Reading Plan

In his fantastic message this morning, Rick encouraged us to read the Bible as a way to get to know the King (Jesus, of course). Here's a Bible reading plan that both Rick and I have found helpful.
