CONNECT WITH GOD Life.
We each have one. It sometimes thrills us and sometimes challenges us. Life is short. You are a temporary resident
here. No matter how hard you work, no matter how many successes you experience in your brief time on this planet, the clock
is ticking and it will all come to an end sooner than you wish. Life is meaningful. There
really is a purpose to it all – and you are not it. You were given this life, placed on this brief journey to fulfill
the purposes of the One who put you here. We believe that God cares about every aspect of your life's journey, be
it spiritual, emotional, physical, marital, or financial. You can spend your life denying this is so and trying to make it
work some other way – or you can believe what has been revealed in the ancient writings of Holy Scripture: It's
all about living for Jesus Christ. We have found that following Jesus Christ and
knowing His love intimately through personal relationship is the most rewarding life you could ever have. When you truly
know God you can experience freedom, healing, compassion and love like you have never experienced before. Knowing God and His son, Jesus Christ, is the key to encountering a life of ever-increasing light, peace, joy and
ultimate satisfaction. If you do not know Jesus as your personal savior, then the next few moments could change your
life forever. If you are interested in truly connecting with the God who created
you, please read on and consider deeply this wonderful message of the Gospel and see for yourself how abounding His love,
forgiveness and grace can be. Keep in mind that God loves you and He wants you
to have a lifelong relationship with Him that lasts for eternity. Life. Pursue
Him.
The Basics We must come to grips with the fact that we are sinners Even if we try to justify ourselves with thoughts like, "I'm not nearly as bad as that person," or "I live a good, moral life," the Bible tells us in Romans 3:10, "As it is written: 'There is none righteous, no, not one.'" The scripture goes on to say in Romans 3:23 "…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…" Everyone has sinned in the eyes of God. All of us stand guilty before Him. There is a price to pay for sin Romans 6:23 tells us that "the wages of sin is death…" In this case, eternal death is the price that we must pay for sin. What is sin? Sin is simply this…disobedience to the will of God (I John 3:4), and since all have sinned, all are subject to the penalty of sin and an eternity in hell separated from God. Jesus, the Son of
God, paid the price for our sin God provided a remedy for our situation by allowing His Son to pay the penalty for us. John 3:16 tells us, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." What a promise! But God even elaborates in greater detail when the Bible tells us in Romans 5:8 that, "…God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Jesus did not wait for mankind to "get it together," but He gave up His life as a sacrifice while we were separated from Him. The remedy for sin, which is salvation, does not come through good works, but it comes only through Jesus. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Scripture also tells us in John 14:6 that, "Jesus said…'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" Salvation is God's solution, but our decision No one can choose eternal life for you. You must make the choice yourself.
In Mark chapter 1, verse 15, Jesus said, "…repent, and believe the gospel." Romans 10:9-10 says that if you
"…confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you
will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
John 1:12 says, "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become the children of God."
Only we can make that decision. When we do, God receives us into His family. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that "…if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." Imagine that, the chance to start all over with a new life…eternal life! Prayer is the way we make the connection Our link with God is established through prayer, and prayer is simply talking with God. It is vital to keep the lines of communication open in any relationship if it is to succeed and flourish. Prayer is the way we initiate our connection with God, and prayer is also the way we maintain our connection with God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says that
"…if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."
Imagine that, the chance to start all over with a new life…eternal life!

OUR GATHERING What if words like honest, genuine,
authentic, freedom and love were words that came to mind when you thought of a midweek
gathering? Our goal for coming together is to rediscover what it means to be a friend of God, live each
day in a way that honors Him, prepares us for destiny, and impacts our community in a time and place when most think
Christianity to be irrelevant, narrow-minded and judgmental. We want you to feel like a
valued part of the family in an atmosphere where you can be yourself and grow in the things of God - no facades or spiritual
hubbub... just real people, representing a real God! What is Feel Your Faith™ All About? Feel Your Faith™ is a powerful gathering for people of all ages, cultures,
ethnicities, social-economic backgrounds and interests. The atmosphere is casual, warm and contemporary. So make yourself
comfortable. Our time of ministry last about an hour and we serve up practical, Christ-centered,
Biblically faithful, culturally current, life-giving, life-changing messages, mixing humor, conviction, relevancy
and revelation in order to help people deal with real everyday life issues, situations, circumstances, and conditions
with a real right now word. Our focus is to feed your spirit, to satisfy your soul and to empower
you with the tools to find your purpose, fulfill your destiny, and move forward no matter where you are in life! What Do You Have for My Children? Although we’re a new fellowship, we know that as a parent you need be sure that your
children are in a safe learning environment (Proverbs 22:6). We also know that your children are looking for a fun place
to learn, play and eat a cool snack. That’s why we have Homework Club, a safe, fun-filled, Christ-centered, loving,
nurturing, professional childcare environment available. The Power Of Words e-Book When words are read not only
as groups of characters, but as thoughts or emotions, the real power of words can help, inspire, encourage,
and motivate us. I am sure you probably remember the little chant from the playground,
the neighborhood or the school of your childhood:
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words will never hurt me. That little saying is cute, but sadly it is also totally untrue!
In fact your words are some of the most powerful things in the entire world- not just your words about others, but your words
about yourself. Your words influence your life circumstances every single day.
King Solomon put it this way,"death and life are in the power of the tongue! ( Proverbs 18:21) I'm finding
so many people living below their godly privileges today... and it's often simply because their have not learned how to
speak life to their lives. In Fact this truth is so important that The Power Of Words e-Book has been revised and expanded,
and I want you to have a e-book. This simple but powerful e-Book will revolutionize the way you live. Your Prayers and Financial support make it possible for us to continue publishing BE THERE Magazine.
Information is power! God has called and commissioned us to to teach his children dynamic, life-changing truths like
the power of words.... and we are so grateful that you are standing with us to get this information I appreciate you so much. In the Service of the King Russell Price Jr. Youn can purchase this new E-Book, The Power Of Words, for
a donation of $5.00
"May
God Bless you at Your point of need!" "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet
is fighting some kind of battle." It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. My friend,
God is faithful. At your lowest points of life, He has always been there for you. When no one could be found,
you could always depend on the Lord. When the storms of life were raging, God was your anchor. When the enemy
attempted to destroy you, God was your protection. When your marriage, your ministry, your home, your children, or even
your job was in jeopardy, God granted an unexplainable peace. He is Faithful and Just. Just think back.
It was no one else but God! Scripture Reading for Today: Psalms 100  Thank You DEAR GOD:
