RETREAT!!!!

I would like to encourage you, if you have not signed up for the retreat yet to do so this Wednesday. It's a great way to make new friends and become more involved in The Point. It is a lot of fun. There are lots of opportunities for fellowshipping and breaking loose and having fun, as well as times of great worship and teaching. It really is an awesome time of growing, having fun and coming in to a deeper relationship with God. Hey if you are lucky you might even get J.J. to break out of character and do his monkey bit! What a riot! (ask to see the videos!)

The guest speaker at this retreat is Richard Jones. Richard was a pastor at the Joyce Meyers Ministry called the Dream Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Richard has a calling on his life to bring the good news of the love and grace of Jesus to those around him. You won't want to miss this dynamic speaker and all his fun southern terms that make him a truly entertaining speaker. Beyond entertainment Richard goes deep to the core issues that God lays on his heart at any given time. Not afraid to rock the boat in spiritual lives, Richard has a way of giving you new spiritual eyes to see where God is working in your life. Richard has a gift that God has imparted to him and he will be sharing that gift with us at the Point retreat. Click here for the link to his web site http://www.richardjonesministries.org/

Sign up at The Point this Wednesday night.

Thought Provoking

I read this quote by Will Rogers

You've got to go out on a limb sometimes because that's where the fruit is.

Are you willing to go out on a spiritual limb with your faith? Just a thought! :-)

At Hand

In my recent studies it was pointed out to me that God often used what was at hand for his service. For instance when God used Moses He made use of the Staff he had in his hand, when He used David, God made use of the slingshot he had in his hand, when Jesus made a point it was using what was at hand, for instance writing in the sand, or pointing out the wheat that was growing nearby. God did not make them go out and find the right tool, it was right there all along.

How often do we think we need to learn more, know more, grow more, have this or that, or think that we are not good enough for the job, when in truth God can use what we have right now, right this moment. Parents often look for what has become known as teachable moments, in order to impart their child with a small tidbit of wisdom. As Christians maybe we should look for those sharable moments when a stranger needs a kind word, or a smile. Or maybe an acquaintance needs someone to listen for a bit. Or my favorite, maybe a person you know just needs a big hug. If God can use what's at hand, then think about the possibilities for witness in your life if you let God use what is near you. God will always give us the right words at the right moment.

Welcome!

First of all... welcome to The Point's blog page. We are a group of young adults at First Assembly of God Christian Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Our purpose is reaching, teaching and equipping young adults to honor Christ with their life choices through the power of the cross. We meet every Wednesday night at 7:00 pm in the prayer chapel. We keep things very comfortable and open with our "coffee house" atmosphere and friendly conversation. It doesn't matter whether you grew up in the church or if you're just curious about beginning a relationship with Jesus Christ... there's a place here just for you. Stop in and see us sometime!
