Every day we can tell stories of how God has been active in our lives. We don’t have to be Bible experts or have all the answers to difficult theological questions. We just need to be ready to share our own experiences, and to state clearly and simply how God has been active in our lives. We are simply a “witness” to what we have seen, heard, and experienced.
“Listen and I will tell you what God has done for me.” Psalm 66:16
As you reflect on how God has been working in your life recently, work your way through these steps:
We began 2024 with a sermon series titled “Follow the Healer” by Stephen Seamands. As this series comes to a close, it is our sincere hope that the messages you’ve heard have blessed you and reminded you of the power of healing found in Jesus Christ.
We didn’t want to let this series end without providing an opportunity for God’s people to share of His power at work in their lives or the lives of a friend or family member.
We would love to hear your personal testimonies of God’s goodness in your life. Please take a few moments to share your story by submitting an email to our Discipleship Pastor, Mindy Clemons.
And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed. Acts 14:23 (ESV)
As a staff, we join together at 9:30 am on Thursdays in the Worship Center to pray. All are welcome to join us for this time of connection
In a recent sermon series, our pastors discussed these topics & shared ideas on how we can connect to our Father in heaven in a deeper way by doing these things on a regular basis.

Consider adding a day of fasting each week as a means of replacing our hunger for food with a hunger for the nearness of God.
1) Foster a relationship with God.
2) Move into the realm of God.
3) Exhibit reverence for God.
4) Desire the realization of God’s Kingdom.
Now it came to pass, as [Jesus] was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” So He said to them, “When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”
Luke 11:1-4 NKJV
Fasting
1) Focuses our attention on God in prayer.
2) Enables us to live in union with God.
3) Unlocks the supernatural power of God.
And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
Matthew 6:16-18 NLT
