Construction is in full swing

It is exciting times for the people of NVMC as construction of our new facility is well under way.  The schedule is very demanding but achievable!  Today I walked through what will become the new Sanctuary and the reality of what God has in store hit me!  God is up to something big and today I am thankful!

Can you help us?

Just dreaming today and Thanking God For the Possibilities!

What a privilege it is to serve God in reaching people... All People... "People Like You!"  I thank God daily for the Vision Of www.nvmc.tv !  Our potential is unlimited and God is For us!

I choose to be excited today!

The Kentucky Derby

For the past couple of weeks our city has been in Derby Festival mode as we have celebration after celebration in honor of the greatest 2-minutes in sports... The Kentucky Derby.  This festival is kicked off by the worlds largest annual fireworks display known as "Thunder of Louisville".  Indeed these are exciting times!

Today I was thinking of the excitement that is generated and I began to realize something very significant.  Just as every horse in the derby has the potential to win the race each of us have the same potential to win an even more significant race... The race of Life.

Unlike the  The Kentucky Derby runners are based on pedigree, wins and losses.  The race of life is run by everyone and all of us have the ability to win it.  The Victory is not won by your speed, power, or performance but it is won by making a decision.  This decision is the most important all of us will ever make and that is the decision to accept Jesus as Lord and personal savior.  When this right decision is made you automatically win the race of life.

2 Timothy 4:7,8 -"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.  Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day."

We may not win a garland of roses but we will inherit the Kingdom of God.  As the horses run you remind yourself of the importance of running and winning the race of life with Jesus.

I hope to see you Sunday

Did you Know...

That Stress doesn't have to take your joy?  

In turbulent times many understand the relentless pressure that the "Facts" of life throws at us.  Many people crumble to it but we as believers have hope and that Hope is where our real strength comes from.

The Bible says "The joy of the Lord is our Strength"!  This morning I remind you that even in the midst of your most trying time... You hold on to your Joy!

A Call to prayer for the Isaacs Family

I am calling on all of you to began to earnestly pray...  although we should all live a life of prayer today I am asking you to pray for a special need that must see the hand of God move.

Kathy Isaacs after several weeks of pain was scheduled to have her Gal Bladder removed after an emergency surgery removing her appendix about 6-weeks ago.  During the procedure to remove her bladder they found a cancerous tumor in her colon.  This in itself was devastating news but as they removed the tumor they determined the Cancer had spread and is diagnosed as stage 4.

 This is an incredible family that has literally touched thousands of people around the world and is in need of a miracle.  As many of you already know Jason (pastor of the River City Church of God here in Louisville) and I are great friends and his entire family mean the world to me.  Bill and Kathy are the State Overseers of Northern Ohio and he is a member of the Church of God Council of 18.

We serve a God that still work miracles and he has proven to be our healer on countless occasions.  Today I ask you all to join me in praying for Kathy and her beautiful family as she faces this battle.  This is a terrible disease that is only conquered through prayer.

Please leave a comment as a sign of agreement and let's petition God on her behalf.

thank you
