S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

Prov. 11:30- The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life; and he that winneth souls [is] wise.

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

Pastor Burns encouraged our hearts tonight in that we have a refuge and hope we can live in and trust in that we only find in Jesus!! It is an anchor for our souls! Jesus is the only true hope and refuge that can be found in this world. We are praying, laboring, and believing for the residents of Decatur County to find this hope in their lives as well! The psalmist said it so very well in the below passages:

 

 

Ps. 146:3-10- Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there is] no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy [is he] that [hath] the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope [is] in the LORD his God:Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein [is]: which keepeth truth for ever: Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:  The LORD openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.The LORD shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

 

All hope can only be found in the Lord!!!

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

Souls were of great value to Paul as we see below. What extent are we willing to go that we might see a soul converted by the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ?

 

 

2 Cor 11:23-28- Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I [am] more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes] save one.Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; [In] journeyings often, [in] perils of waters, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils by [mine own] countrymen, [in] perils by the heathen, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren; In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

Mark 16:20-  And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

Ps 122:1- I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

John 9:4- I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

As we walk each day and come in contact with different individuals, let us remember the value of the soul each one possesses. Jesus put more value on one soul than the entire world. Let us be determined to be soul winners. Matt 16:26- For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Only Jesus can satisfy a soul!

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

Seek to be a blessing and in return you will be blessed!!

Great time of Worship in the house of the Lord this morning! We were exhorted to give honor to the elders in our lives whom have helped us along the way. I could name many in my life who have been a great inspiration and help along the way of my spiritual journey! I pray that as I am growing older someone may look one day to me and say I have been a blessing to them as well.

Peavine Festival Share Event

Thank the Lord for two beautiful days for our SHARE booth! We gave away about 360 bottles of water, 25 preaching CD's, 2 gift cards from our "stump the quizzer booth, about 125 balloons, and a couple home bible studies! We had a fun time with the searching scientist as he interacted with folks of all ages while looking for his "victims" to bless. There were also several backsliders who were connected with by various saints that were helping out at the booth. We also had many folks that put down needs for the church to pray over. Surely the Lord is pleased with our efforts and is moving on hearts even as I type. Thanks to all for any help you provided!

Just checked the weather for Parsons for today and tomorrow. Thank you Lord for two beautiful days to SHARE at the Peavine Festival! We are expecting the Lord to do great things through His people this weekend. Time to head out and get started!

The Lord is helping us!!

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

Project SHARE officially kicked off this evening at the Peavine Festival in Parsons! The kids choir, youth chorale, sanctuary choir, and devoted all took the outdoor stage and sang forth the mighty praises of God! There is definitely no singing like the anointed singing of Holy Ghost singers! Thank you musicians and singers for allowing His Spirit to use you tonight.

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

The choir is ready to SHARE at the Peavine Festival Wednesday evening. When they open their mouths to sing forth the praises of God the works of the Spirit will flow forth into the City and County!!

S.H.A.R.E.a Moment

I stopped by the river for a second to unwind on the way home from work. While I stood there I observed two gentleman fishing. As I watched them I was reminded of what the Lord spoke to Peter and Andrew. Matt 4:18-19-  And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. Its time to fish!

KICKOFF TIME

The day has arrived to officially kickoff Project S.H.A.R.E. within the local body of believers at First Pentecost! The S.H.A.R.E. team has been working together over the last several  weeks to get ready for a S.H.A.R.E. booth at the Peavine Festival in Parsons on September 17th & 18th! At the booth we will be giving away bottled water, taking prayer request, offering free home bible studies and preaching cd's, playing stump the quizzer, and having a visit or two from the Searching Scientist who will be ministering to the kids and giving away helium balloons!! We as the people of God have been called out and set free so that we can S.H.A.R.E.

S.H.A.R.E.a Moment

We have probably heard it many times that there is only one ability the Lord looks for in humanity. The only ability we need to possess is availability! The definition of availabilty is: Characterisitic of a resource that is committable, operable, or usable upon demand, to perform its designated or required function!! Let us be available to be used for the Lords purpose as he would call upon each of us. I want to be available upon demand! Let us determine to have availabilty in our hearts and lives for the Lord to use us as He desires each day.

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

Neh 4:6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

Thank you Pastor Burns for a great message! The SHARE team is in total agreement with the prophetic Word that was preached. It is getting ready to rain on this county and region round about!!

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

A new study says that college students who are on Facebook while studying or doing homework wind up getting 20 percent lower grades than students who don't have the social networking site in visual range, or even running in the background on their computers or mobile phones. Kirschnera told the Daily Mail that his team studied 219 U.S. university students between ages 19 and 54, and found that Facebook users had a typical grade point average of 3.06, while "non-users" had an average GPA of 3.82.

 

I found this interesting and wondered what it would show if we could measure what percent our social networking, texting, net surfing, etc.  cuts into the time we spend in prayer, bible study, family devotion, meditation, kingdom work.................. Our modern technology is wonderful but let us be determined to use it wisely and seek to use it to further promote the Lords work in anyway possible.

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

What a beautiful day! As we spend time together on this federal holiday with family and friends let us remember the words of the Lord. "Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed."

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

What an awesome service and moving of the Spirit this morning! There were many guests in service with us for which we are very thankful. Surely there were seeds that were planted in hearts that will one day sprout up as they are watered! The S.H.A.R.E. team met briefly after service and we are excited about what the Lord is doing!! There was a wonderful Spirit moving amongst the team as we worked on plans for our first S.H.A.R.E. event at the Peavine Festival on Sept. 17-18. We are relying on and expecting the Lord to put His blessings upon it!!

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment:

Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment

As I am leaving my house today, I am committing to seeing Decatur County "through His eyes".

S.H.A.R.E. a Moment:

When Jesus appointed and sent them into every city and place where he himself would come, he spoke to them " The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest." Let us pray that the Lord would beckon others throughout this county and region round about us to S.H.A.R.E.

Thank you bro Petty for "allowing His spirit to use you" !
