New Life Church

Last night I did something that I had not done in months!
I preached from a pulpit that I never would have thought that I would prech from.

Last week, I got a call, inviting me to preach at New Life Church.
I was ecstatic, focused, contemplative and I aint gonna lie...a bit nervous.
Wha? Can I tell you the truth?

So, I show up at Pastor Joel Montes church, thinking I was going to be greeted by young people.
Yea right. This was a full service filled with young people and old people that were there to hear something from the Bible.
And if you know me... I didn't waste any time.
We preached the gospel of Jesus and I hope people left saying, "I need Jesus in my life. I need to follow Him."

I thank the friends that showed up and backed me up. I was glad to see some familiar faces. Thank you guys.

I am forever thankful... forever honored and forever humbled by God's calling.
Sometimes, we think that we are ENTITLED just because, "Well, brother, I am called of God."
You know what? We need to get off the high horse and always know that we are sinners saved by God's grace that was shown as he bled on the cross.

We deserved death... but I give thanks to Jesus that he loved me so much that he died for me.
Just because of that, I am thankful.

I know that other things such as ministries and titles can be taken away in a blink of an eye.
But if you have Jesus... Oh God, thank you.

Remember, Religion is about you.
but the Gospel is about Jesus.

I choose the gospel!
