What an awesome Mother’s Day service this past Sunday at R.C.I.🌸
We were honored to celebrate and shower the amazing mothers of our church with gifts as we thanked God for their love, sacrifice, strength, and faithfulness.
Pastor Joshua continued our powerful “Heart” series with a timely message challenging us to examine the condition of our hearts before God.
Every day we are faced with a decision:
Will we yield to the flesh, or will we walk in the Spirit?
“Put off concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts… and put on the new man which was created according to the image of God.”— Ephesians 4:22-24
Some powerful reminders from the message:
• God does not drive us — religion does. He does not force us but rather He is the Good Shepherd who lovingly leads His people. (Psalm 23)
• God’s Word is His will, and His will is His way.
• The enemy speaks to your head, but God speaks to your heart.
• Follow after God and His Word, and allow His peace to rule and reign in your HEART as an umpire. — Colossians 3:15
• Pride is a stumbling block to the life of the believer.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” — Proverbs 1:7
• In the Kingdom of God, the way up is the way down.
If you want to go higher, you must first go lower before the King. Humble yourself before the Lord, and He will lift you up. — James 4:10
We are thankful for all that God is doing at R.C.I., and we believe He is continuing to transform hearts and change lives by His Word and through His presence!
