Ephesians 3:17b-19: And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Just One Minute Pullie

Wow!!  What a year!  Our God is an Awesome God!  This is the last blog entry for the year and we have really enjoyed posting these little nuggets each week.  God has been at work in all our lives and we pray for you to have an encounter with Him!  We want you to just take a minute (or 10 :) and just think about our awesome God.  Look around you.....He created it all!!  With one breath, it was there!  With one word, man was in existence!  He is amazing!  One of my favorite verses is
Habakkuk 1:5 - “Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.
Stand back.  Listen.  God has a message He wants you to hear.  He is constantly at work and it is no coincidence that you found this pullie today.  God wants to get your attention.  Will you listen?  Please come visit us at Sardis Baptist Church we would love to have you!  VBS starts again this week and we will be "switching" to a new blog.  Visit us at:  The Switch.

Beach Ball

I am so glad you have found the beach ball we left for you!!  Thank you for visiting our blog!!!
 
I think mostly everyone has a beach ball.  They are so fun to play with!!  What is so funny to me, is that I never see beach balls being played with on the beach!!  But always at the pool….too funny!!  One of my favorite things to do is to see how far I can pull the beach ball under the water and wait for it to find its way to the top and POP up out of the water!!  I heard the best analogy the other day about how we can relate that popping up from the beach ball, to the joy we should show each day for the love of Jesus!!
 
I mean how great would it be if our presence to others was like a beach ball popping out of the water showing our love and joy for Jesus Christ.  Everywhere we were just popping up, like someone was trying to hold us down, and we just couldn’t take it anymore and shouted to the mountain tops our love we have for our Lord and Savior.  I want to be like that, just a ball of Jesus Energy waiting to POP up and show how excited and honored I am to be a child of God, I mean I am a princess after all….according to my husband (J) and I am the daughter of a King!!
 
The Bible tells us so many different times, to be joyful….
 
Psalm 66:1 SHOUT WITH JOY TO GOD, ALL THE EARTH!!
 
Nehemiah 8:10 DO NOT GRIEVE, FOR THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH
