Have a blessed Thanksgiving

Sunday morning was a wonderful day at Leesburg Church. We were reminded that scripture tells us that we are to give thanks in EVERYTHING and at ALL TIMES! Let us have a wonderful season of holidays through the eyes and hearts of gratitude and not the rush of the time. If we can focus on giving thanks it will allow us all to focus on the real reason to this Thanksgiving but also the Christmas season coming quickly upon us.

Sunday night the Lord ministered in a special way. The Holy Spirit filled the building with such a sweet spirit. We looked to I Corinthians 12 were we learn about spiritual gifts. We have been given many gifts to minister to the needs of people. The Lord has been reminding us that He is the healer, the power of the miraculous. We had a time of special prayer for gifts to be released upon the church both locally and globally. We then had a wonderful time of prayer for those sick and needing a miracle. God moved in a wonderful way and we are so grateful for His love to His children!

God Bless you this Thanksgiving.

Overcoming Obstacles in Pursuit of your dreams

Sunday we continued looking at how to live out the God given dream in each of us. God has created each of us for a wonderful and unique purpose. Yet many give up as they start out on their journey and find that some of the closest people around them seemingly try to stop them. Some of the people are meaning well and others just don't want you to live our your dream. The ones that mean well often will operate out of the fear of risk, or they just want you and them to hang on to the traditions that they are comfortable with, and yet others just don't think you could ever really do it. As well there are people that know that if you walk in your dream then they will loose something and they don't want you to do it. Just keep your heads up and look for the friends that God will send you (and youwill convert some of those opposing you by sharing your dream better). No matter where they started these friends will be your encouragement to live out the dream. God will also send some your way that have walked down the road you are traveling and they will teach you and share the wisdom to live the dream.

Don't stop - You can live the dream God has given you! That is why God gave it to you right?

We also were blessed to receive two new members into the Leesburg Church. Praise God!

Continuing 'Escaping Ordinary'

This Sunday Pastor Josh continued the Sermon Series "Escaping Ordinary." Last week we looked to how God has placed a dream inside of us all- our God Given Purpose/Dream. This Sunday we were encouraged to push past our comfort zones and the invisible wall of fear we each face as we seek to fulfill our God Given Dream. We all have a comfort zone that is easy for us but our dream is not fulfilled inside that zone. Once we are ready to walk out our dream we will find ourselves approaching the limits of our comfort zone. The end is a wall of fear that we will must push through to ever fulfill our purpose in God. In His (God's) strengths we are made strong - not ours. As we step past the wall of fear and outside of our comfort zones we have truly stepped into faith and trusting God fully to help us fulfill the plan He has for our lives.

Let's all choose to leave our Comfort Zones and pursue God's plans!
