- I believe people crave truth.
- I believe it’s truth that sets us free.
- I believe the delivery of that truth makes all the difference.
- I believe the delivery of truth must be done with grace.
- I believe the delivery of truth must be done with authority.
John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Matt 7:28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority.
The Lamb of God in action. Truthful. Full of grace and authority. He IS amazing. That is the kind of leadership people will follow. That is the God people want to give their lives to. Good stuff!

Buddy,
First time my wife and I have seen you in many weeks. Summer life happening with kids and life and we missed a few weeks here and there. We seen you for the first time in many weeks, last week and we both immediately noticed that you LOST some serious weight! I guessed 25 lbs right off the rip. The service was great, but to keep it real we talked the whole ride home about how great you looked and how proud we were of your accomlishments! I knew someone or something was able to give your a real “gut check” and I’m talking about the gut check that’s connected to your soul and not your waist band. Being a former trainer and gym owner, everyone who ever came to me wanting to change not only their “look”, but also their life…all started with being tired of being “sick and tired” of how they looked in the mirror, and more so for their health. Transforming and make huge changes are unexplainable to someone who has not lived through the process. The feeling of being ALIVE, feeling great about your physical changes and being jacked about the mental changes and the new outlook on your life, are truly amazing! I know, because not only was I a personal trainer and gym owner, but I was the over weight guy who loved food more than I loved life! The battle was overwhelming and TOMORROW I was always going to get in shape, the problem was tomorrow NEVER came until I was on my last leg with my health and physical appearance. I strongly belive, it really takes to be at the bottom of the barrel with yourself, before you can begin day ONE.
I commend you tremendously for your efforts, as I know they are not easy. I know having a full schedule on your plate, family, kids and fulfilling GODS work is enough for 5 Dads to do. You sucked it up, buckled down and my wife an I are only 2-people, but I wanted to let you know WERE PROUD of you not only as OUR pastor, but PROUD of your personal achievements for your self and more importantly, your FAMILY.
