Ignite

God has given us such a great ministry vehicle here at East West Church with Full Turn Ministries. We have been given the opportunity together to change our world through the power of Jesus Christ. Last week I was thinking about this. If the ministry is the vehicle then we must be the engine. What good is a vehicle without an engine? If we are going to accomplish the plan of God then we must be an engine full of faith and power, ready to carry all that God has given us into our tomorrow. I want you to think about this. You are an important part of the engine. You are very important to the overall plan of God. Lets keep working together so that we can accomplish all of the awesome things that God would have for us to do as a people. We have the vehicle, let's make sure our engine is running right.

A Personal Invitation

Full Turn Ministries is coming to Rockmart. Our opening night will be February 24th at 7:30pm in the Nathan Dean Community Center. I really want you to be a part of this new Ministry. If you know people that are looking for an exciting worship experience you can help us by spreading the word, and by telling all of your friends in the Hiram, Dallas, Cedartown, Rome, Rockmart area about our opening night. I believe if we all work together we can start something really special in Rockmart. Thank you in advance for any help you can bring towards making this new service a success.

Who Dat Full Turn?

I desire to see thousands of people finding God and His purpose, plan, and destiny for their lives. I have a vision to see people being touched by God in a new and a fresh way. I can see a move of God sweeping this area. I know that God has called us for such a time as this. I am asking you to stand with me today in prayer and agreement. We can reach our city and we can reach our world with the message of Jesus Christ. I truly believe this. There is much to be done and we must stand together.

We are a group of people who care about one another, who want to help each other. My vision is to see a place where others can come and be welcome, be encouraged, and be loved. More than that, I want to see a place where children, young people, and families can be given hope. I picture a room full of people that have come together from different backgrounds and stages of life. They are excited and enthusiastic about their future because they are connected to a place where they can become involved and develop as a people. This is our opportunity. We have an opportunity to do something great, to be someone great for God. We have an opportunity to make a difference and be a positive influence on the people around us. We have an opportunity to be a part of something much bigger than ourselves, much bigger than what we could accomplish as individuals. This is our moment. We will reach our city with the power of God and the message of His son Jesus Christ.

Live Out Loud

Don't put yourself in a box. You can do all things through Christ. We limit ourselves when we settle for less. God has the best in store for us if we will believe. Don't hide the talents and abilities that God has given you. Use them for His glory. Live your life out loud. Let people see the goodness of God in you. Jesus said that we should shine our light before men so that they can see God at work in our lives. So don't hide your light. Take a stand for God. Ignite the passion and the purpose within.

21 Days

21 days until our first meeting in Rockmart and the excitement continues to build in me. I can see in my minds eye thousands of people finding God and His purpose, plan, and destiny for their lives. I can see people being touched by God in a new and a fresh way. I can see people being baptized and born again. I can see families being renewed. I see a move of God sweeping the area. I know that God has called us for such a time as this. I am asking you to stand with me today in prayer and agreement. We can reach our city and we can reach our world with the message of Jesus Christ. I truly believe this. There is much to be done and we must stand together. If you live or know people that live in the Rockmart, Dallas, and Hiram area, then please help us to spread the word. Opening night is February 24th at 7:30pm at the Nathan Dean Community Center in Rockmart.

Purpose

When you talk about purpose and destiny people often think that if their life is already mapped out for them, then whats the point in putting forth an effort. What ever will be will be. That is really not the case. Purpose and destiny come from God and our destiny lies in Jesus Christ. There are two roads before us and it is our choice which road we will follow. One day Moses gave the children of Israel an ultimatum. He said, "Choose you this day whom you will serve". We still have the same choice. Either we will serve God and fulfill the purpose and plan that He has for our life, or we will chose to go down a different road. One road leads to everlasting life, and the other road leads us to destruction. Choose you this day who you will serve. Because we are all going to serve something. Some of us choose to serve our own purpose. Some of us choose to serve the plans that others have made for us. All roads lead to a destination. Today let me encourage you to choose the right path. Follow God and He will lead you into the purpose that He has for your life. God's way is perfect. If you want to fulfill your true destiny, you have to follow the one that has authored it from the beginning of time until now.

True Wisdom

Some people say that wisdom comes with age. I say with age comes experience, but not necessarily wisdom. Let me explain. True wisdom comes from God. I believe that wisdom is not just for the elderly, but for all that put their faith and trust in God. Life experience can only teach us so much. Have you ever heard some one say, "They should have to learn it the hard way"? While I believe that experience is a good teacher, I also believe that the wisdom that comes from God can keep us from getting ourselves into a mess in the first place. Experience teaches us from past mistakes, but wisdom shows us how we should deal with the future. You can wait and gain some knowledge from experience, or you can have the wisdom to know what to do right now. Wisdom comes from God. Ask Him to show you the next step. He is ready to direct your path.
