Hey all,

How ya feelin?

Just wanted to take some time to write and say what a great time we had last night at Motivated.

It was good to see more new faces in the place and the talent on the open mic was off the hook.We also had some young adults from our Vista Church in the house and they represented on the open mic.

I shared my heart with those in attendance about stepping out. I used the scripture in Matthew 14:22 How Jesus made His disciples get in the boat, even though He knew there was a storm coming. The King James version says that Jesus constrained His disciples to get in the boat. That sounds to me like He didn’t ask them to get in the boat, but He told them to get in the boat.

So even in their obedience to God they found themselves in a storm. The disciples found themselves being buffeted by the waves. You know sometimes when you and I are in the perfect will of God, we may still face a storm here and there. 

Why would Jesus tell His disciples to get in the boat, if He knew there was a storm coming? I believe it’s because He wanted to teach them a valuable lesson on faith.

See sometimes God will allow situations and circumstances to come our way to grow us and I believe this was a lesson on faith.

OK  the disciples in the boat – it is being hit by waves(which are made of water) – and here comes Jesus walking on the water telling the disciples not to be afraid. Now the same thing that was causing the disciples to be buffeted, was the same thing that Jesus came to them walking on top off.

So that tells me that no matter what may come our way or what we may be buffeted by today, Jesus is on top off it and in control.  He is saying “Take Courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Why because He has everything under control.

Part 2 Coming Soon – We will discuss how Peter said Lord if it’s you tell me come – tell me to step out.

Let me hear you say….

Hey all,

How ya feelin?

Wow what a great time we had tonight at motivated. The open mic was off the charts.

It was good to see new talent stepping up to the mic. If I am not mistaken there was at least 3 new people on the open mic tonight.  Which ranged from spoken word, an acapella song, and a rap.

Once again it was good to see new faces in the place and I really feel challenged to take our follow up to another level. I believe that is what’s going to help us break the 75 barrier.

It is late and before I go – I just want to say to the Motivated team you guys are the bomb.

Let me hear you say….
