New Message Series: Grace

For the month of march we going to talk about Grace and what Grace really is and what God's purpose for grace is. Grace though seems simple is really something that for alot of us we don't get and we don't realize it exists for the reason that it does. Some of us have a view of Grace that is sub para to what God intends it to be, and ultimately causes us to miss the true relationship opportunity we have with God from our lack of understand of true grace. For the most part church has perceive this notion of grace and has down a great job at keeping us all believing the same line of info on grace without realizing that it limits are path to God.

I dare you to come out any wednesday night at Awaken and see what God has to say about Grace...it's going to be good.

Failure isn't Fair, but not Final !

Failure is something we all face whether we like it or not.

We have all failed in some way and it wasn't pretty and surely didn't feel good.

But the good thing about failure is it has a bright side! What? Did you say failure has something good to offer??? Yes it does...it's called opportunity! Opportunity is a option to do something good, bad, or nothing at all, but it's still an opportunity!

We all have opportunities each day to do something and make something happen, whether it's for good, bad, or for no purpose at all. Failure is always an option when faced with these so called opportunities, but failure can bring good as well.

Here's how...if you try something and you fail...it's an opportunity to learn how to do that something you tried better or to never do it again. So a lesson can be learned from failure. Another thing that failure can bring is a better understanding of the value of life and what it means to keep pushing for the best even if you fall.

If we never fail...we more than likely never learn and when we stop learning we start dieing. There's always this thing called fear of failure as well that can really stop of us from attempting things that could possibly become something great. So there is all these factors of failure that can be options in all of our lives but we must remember failure is apart of life and that good thing is failure isn't final.

Begin and again today...remember attempt greatness sometimes has great failure first involved.

God's got your back he won't let you fall too far if you are attempting great things for his glory.

Becoming close to those your not close to!

God has challenged us to become closer to people we are not normally close with.

I believe he wants us to see he can do great things through relationships if we give him a chance.

I know this sounds so simple it's dumb but truly we need each other. People don't just need one another when there's hard times but we need each other to share life together like family.

You may say well I already have this, I have great friends and family around me! Well then your blessed, so be a blessing to someone else and be a great friend to someone you normally won't be a friend to. Trust me tt will make a difference in both your lives.

Jesus said a friend sticks closer than a brother. He understand the importance of relationships and what power they have if we give God a chance to do his thing.

So today....don't just have a friend...be a friend!
