NVMC has been Church Hopped!

What a weekend...

Many people have asked what I thought about Easter Weekend and I am waiting on some pictures to tell the whole story but I wanted to take a brief moment and celebrate.

Here are the Highlights:

• Good Friday Service at our new location was an intimate time with prophetic insight
• Saturday Outreach -  HUGE SUCCESS....  The Community got a glimpse of the magnitude of the ministry.  We came out big time!  (Who would have thought we would have had parking problems for our first event there)   
• Easter - Both services packed... Second service standing room only countless lives changed! 

This was a monumental weekend that NVMC slammed dunked our goals.  We worked hard and God blessed our efforts and countless people were reached!  Thank you to every volunteer who participated.

I will post pictures as soon as I get them from the photographer.

Let's don't stop... Let's go even harder! 

Today is Easter... Some Random thought of a preacher

Big days like Easter actually drives this preacher nuts!  Here are some random thoughts about today:

• What am I going to preach
• what should I wear 
• I wonder how many will show up 
• I want the service to rock out 
• how many visitors will we have  
• I need to preach something cool 
• have the people been inviting their friends and family 
• Is all the volunteers ready 
• will the visitors feel welcome 
• uhg!!!  Have I done everything I can do  
• I hope this sermon works out ok 
• is there going to be a big crowd or not 
• I think I am going to be sick 

My mind has raced for weeks concerning today with things that matter on one hand but on the other they don't.  Today we as Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ our savior.  We go further in strategic planning to share this message of sacrificial Love to all and pray they will receive him and many will!  

So at the end of the day the only thing that matters is not all of our programs, our songs, and fancy sermons... what really matters is will Jesus be lifted up because if he is.... he will draw all men unto him!

My staff, our church, and I have prayed for salvation to come to our house and today we expect it will!

I thank God I found Jesus... are you? 

Good Friday

We will honor this moment tonight at 8 PM at the Old Walmart across from Jefferson Mall.  We will have an intimate communion and Candlelight service.  

General public welcome and encouraged to attend.  I pray you will join us.

A poem by Paige Harris.....

One of our girls at church wrote this poem and it touched the heart of her teacher and I thought it was worth posting.

"I Am A Child of GOD" By. Paige Harris I am a child of GOD. My Father in Heaven. I wonder why people think that they have it all, And they are truly empty. I am rich because I have JESUS. I hear the angels rejoicing. My Father in Heaven. I see so many people living a sinful life; They are cussing, hating and using my Fathers name in vain, Though I was born into sin, I chose not to live that life. I want to worship CHRIST everywhere I go. I am a TRUE worshiper. I am a child of GOD, My Father in Heaven. I am a part of a family of believers, It is New Vision Ministry Center. We will bless others and impact the heart of this city. I feel love and happiness when I am in the presence of GOD. I will touch my makers face one day. My concern now is that I am not reaching everyone. Am I not being heard? Do they not see? I cry to think about people not going to Heaven, but spending an eternity in Hell. I am a child of GOD, My Father in Heaven. I see people that take life as a joke, But I don't. I declare now is the time to give your life to HIM. I am a child of GOD, My Father in Heaven.
