Dr David Jeremiah and his Overcomers Tour

It was a pleasure to have Dr. David Jeremiah on to talk about his Overcomer Tour.  This is an evening of Unstoppable Strength, Unmovable Faith and Unbelievable Power……

YOU CAN OVERCOME!

Here’s some good news: You can OVERCOME. God wants you to overcome. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV).

God says, “we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37, NKJV). He has given us supernatural weapons of warfare; these don’t just protect us from the enemy, they are our offensive armor. They enable us to overcome obstacles like fears that prey on on your life.

Take a minute to listen to Dr. Jeremiah.

Water of Life

When Roland Bergeron, owner of a custom home building company, first heard that more than 800 million people in the world didn’t have access to clean water, he was shocked. An engineer by trade, he became even more involved in water ministry in 2002, when he went on his first mission trip to Central America. On that trip, his heart was so stirred that he continued to participate in multiple trips to Central America.

Still, Roland knew that God was calling him to take more action, and in 2002 he led a group of volunteers to found Water of Life to provide water wells to those most in need of clean water in this world. In 2004, Roland made the life-changing trip to Liberia, West Africa, soon adding Sierra Leone and eventually India to the service area. Finding his life’s calling, Roland turned over his home building company to his son’s care, and Water of Life has since spread, serving hundreds of thousands of people every year in these three countries.  It was a pleasure to spend a few minutes with Roland to talk about Water of Life’s mission and how we can help.[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/6887878/height/200/width/450/theme/standard/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/autoplay/no/preload/no/no_addthis/no/direction/forward/” height=”200″ width=”450″ placement=”bottom” theme=”standard”]

It’s Planting Season!!

I’m sure you recognize this….a car load of plants. Are you like Peg and me when shopping for plants and kinda like the ol’ saying “bite off more than you chew” except with plants it “dig up more than you can plant???” As we go into the summer planting season we have that spirit of renewal as we plant beautiful young flowers with the anticipation of watching them grow into mature blooming examples of God’s creation…only to see them wilt in the fall/winter and we start over again. Kinda like life in general, huh? – young couples welcoming the birth of God’s newest children while we sadly say goodbye to old friends as they go on to meet their Savior. God wants us to forget the sorrow of saying goodbye and just enjoy the beauty of the colorful blooms while His plants are at their peak and know that he will comfort us when we do have to say goodbye. This applies to both the beautiful plants of summer and dear friendships we share with others. On this Memorial weekend let’s pause to remember, and thank, those who fought to preserve our freedoms while giving the ultimate sacrifice.
