Greetings friend,

Debbie and I are enjoying our time of R & R together! God has been so very good to us and we are rejoicing for His faithfulness and provision in our lives, as well as in the many lives at RCC. The ministry that goes on each week is reason for rejoicing in His faithfulness! Additionally, I want to thank Pastor Cole for bringing a great message from Jonah last Sunday!

This week, in my absence, I’ve asked Pastor Matt to bring the message. He’ll be teaching from Philippians 3 in a message titled, “There’s Giants in the Land.” We’ll be taking a look at the giants Paul identifies in us that empower believers to take on the schemes of the enemy. The giants that the enemy presents are small compared to the giants God has given us. We know that when the enemy attacks, and presents situations, he wants us to fear and fear is a liar! I hope you’ll join us this Sunday!

Believe it or not, we’re coming to the close of our Restored Life Center building project. In a few weeks we will be finalizing the amount on the balance of our loan and, of course, the less we need to finance, the more affordable it will be monthly. And while we’re asking God to help us pay the debt off in the next few years, we will be carrying the balance of the mortgage in the meantime. If you’ve already given to the project, or are currently giving – thank you for your generous gift! If you haven’t yet had an opportunity to be a part of the special giving towards the building, or are able to do even more, I would ask you to prayerfully consider what God might have you do in the next couple of weeks. God has been so faithful through all of our growth here at Restored and we know He will bless us as we step out to trust Him going forward.
