So tonight, i am starting this new message series entitled, “Effective Growth”. I am super excited about this because we are going to be hitting a few different areas in each of our lives in which growth is required.
Growth is required in our spiritual lives.
Growth is required in our social lives.
Growth is required in our relationships.
Growth is required in our professional lives.
Our personal lives are not the only thing that needs growth, we are also going to be look at
How to effectively grow our influence.
How to effectively grow as a ministry.
How to effectively grow as a small group or life group.
Hope you come pumped and ready to receive tonight. All of our messages are all downloadable, streamable and also posted on podcasts which can all be found at www.getagripministries.ca
God took me out of my Egypt 7 years ago but there is still traces of Egypt in me. I love the fact that the Israelites were not going in circles in the desert for God to truly see what was in their hearts. I mean, imagine yourself going around in stinkin’ circles for 40 years. Year, after year, after year. Tell you what, some junk that you may have hidden in your heart will start surfacing. God is God and He knows everything so for the Israelites to go in circles in the desert was not for God to know what was in the people’s hearts but rather a chance for the people to realise what is lurking in their own hearts.
As previously mentioned, God has been working on me and it has been a while now. I have own of those tempers and anger that brings embarrassment to my own self haha. Being totally honest now so please don’t shout me down! It comes out the most when i am playing either a video game, board game or sport (ESPECIALLY sports haha. The 07′ and 08′ OCC baseball team will agree haha.) I’ve come to the place in my life where i can identify it and deal with it when it comes up but it wasn’t always this way. It was hard and the reality is that it’s still very hard. I have to fight daily so that anger does not rise up. I’m just sharing this because this volleyball group on Tuesday is doing a pretty good job at bring out what truly is in my heart and praise God, though i still struggle with it a bit that it is an encouragement to my self to truly see how far i have already made it!
I had the opportunity to go play volley ball last night with Pastor Frank and his group. There is one thing for sure, for a Brazilian, Pastor Frank is pretty good at volley ball haha. He was on the other team and needless to say they beat my team It was a very tight game (all three of them. we won the first but lost the 2 others). Even thought my team lost, I had a very good workout. It was really good to go out and hang out with the young adults and with other in the group as well. I can’t wait for next week now
