THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!! We’ve been away for a few weeks but now back and excited to see what God will do in this new season to BLESS YOU. 🤩

As we pursue God's vision for our lives, let's remember that His plans often unfold, inviting others that He calls, to journey together.

One of the greatest joys of mission is the gift of shared purpose and collaboration. WE want to extend a heartfelt gratitude to those who have prayed for the Extraordinary Life Sanctuary mission, and a special thank you to those who have enriched the vision through their support, ideas, and help. Your kindness and initiative have been a source of strength. During our absence, many of you reached out to offer assistance with the sanctuary, and for that, we are truly grateful. This is indeed the work of many—our deepest thanks to Corinne, Lori & Kurt, Sue, Nancy, Melody, Debbie & Carlos, and Anna. FOREVER GRATEFUL.

I HAD A MOMENT this morning… lots going on and sometimes you have to step back, pause, and pray, asking God to clarify the situation before you. ALWAYS REMEMBER: when we allow the confusion to interfere, intercept, and interrupt our peace, God is preparing to expand our perspective on the situation and to recognize our divine resources to overcome abundantly.

When I have a “moment,” I ask God to reveal anything that is not of Him and to untwist any hurtful ways that hinder me from seeing Him in a greater light.

When we are called to go on mission with the Lord, HE WILL ALLOW many things to KEEP US ON the JOURNEY all the more bold and strengthened because of it.

FAITH is not for the fearful but for those who fearlessly face whatever God orchestrates to conquer and help others conquer all the more.

This is the adventure promised in John 3:16… are you living out an adventure through faith in Christ? If so, recognize God as He uses all things to grow and heal you, so that in turn, you would help others restore.

If you are not living out your greatest adventure in faith and what you are purposed for, come to the sanctuary and find out.

“Search me, oh God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there’s any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.” —PSALM 139:23-24

When Paul counsels us to assess our faith, not that of others, but our own, we will know that we are truly living and representing Christ when our lives are offensive and attractive at the same time. (2 Corinthians 13:5,2 Peter 1:10-11)

Not too long ago, I taught 2 Corinthians 2:14-17 because these verses are hard to understand, yet they are exactly what happens when we live authentic faith.

Because of your authenticity, some will come to the Lord and choose to live for Him, and some will be so offended and hate you because of it.

When you experience both of these situations at the same time in your life, know that the testing of your faith is being strengthened and flourishes all the more.

When we learn to embrace God’s love and acceptance of us, LOVE won’t let anything hinder us from fulfilling our extraordinary purpose, knowing we are traveling through until we are taken to our eternal home.

The more we read the Bible sincerely wanting to understand, the more we will yearn for our eternal home. If we find ourselves too busy to read the WORD OF GOD, the BIBLE, and yearning more for the things of the world, our focus has been hijacked and displaced. (MATTHEW 6:33)

The LUKEWARM CHURCH: Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— Revelation 3

“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.” Revelation 3:11
