From The Pastor

Good morning, everyone, and Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms! We appreciate you for all that you do, and we love you. I’m especially thankful for my own mom—a woman of prayer who interceded for me through years of rebellion. I put her through a lot, but she stayed strong and kept going to battle for me in prayer. I’ll always be grateful for that. A friend of mine, Donnie, and I like to joke that you can’t outrun the prayers of a praying mother—you might as well throw in the towel.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to share the Word with you today. Pastor Randy, thank you for the opportunities you’ve given me over the years. As you step into this next phase of your journey, I just want to say how much I appreciate you. Thank you for taking a chance on me, for prayerfully considering me, and for allowing me to serve alongside you for eleven years. Many wouldn’t have. They might have relied on worldly standards and disqualified me where God had already called me. But you saw past that and recognized what God was doing in my life, and I’m thankful for that. Jinay and I love you and Pam, and we’ll always be grateful for both of you.

Today, I don’t have a traditional Mother’s Day message, but I do have something God has placed on my heart—something I’ve been praying over since I was asked to preach about a month ago. We’ll be spending most of our time in 2 Corinthians 10:3–6, talking about the daily spiritual battle that often takes place in our minds, and how to win those battles. My prayer is that you leave today with a greater awareness of the enemy’s schemes and feel better equipped in your daily thought life.
