A message from Pastor Rick Kennedy
Climb to New Heights
Pastor Rick Kennedy, March 2010
MARCH! It’s a great month. I love it. Newness is around. For three months it is like we have been locked behind the bars of Winter and now I’m busting out lefty. Winters are needed I guess. If for nothing else to make us appreciate the jail break into a sense of newness. Change is all around us. Some good and some not so good but in it all God is trying to always take us to HIS desired plan for our lives.
I read where a man named Al started polishing Porsche wheels for a living. That’s right. And he loves it. Actually he worked for a huge corporation but he felt like a number not a person. He had a good salary but he drove 55 miles one way every day to work. He was miserable. Then the family was miserable so he and his wife and four kids began to pray. “Lord, something has to happen. Do something. Anything but change our lives. There is no way to live like this. Lord, take over.”
Well, He did. Al got laid off. But for some reason he was happy about it. Suddenly, a verse he had only memorized in bible study now became a reality. ”Trust in the Lord with all your Hearts.” Then through a weird chain of events he took a ridiculous job polishing wheels at a Porsche dealership and it blossomed into a whole chain of dealerships and he is having the time of his life. Fulfilled, satisfied.
You see, Sometimes a little winter comes along to get us ready for the spring of our lives. Here’s praying for your SPRING of YOUR LIFE. Don’t stop dreaming. Possibilities lead to opportunities and they to accomplishments. Proverbs 13:9 “Desire realized is sweet to the soul….”
Let me ask you to join me each Sunday in your Climb to New Heights. On Sunday mornings I am preaching through 1Corinthians because we have become such a diverse Church. It has some special word for us. Sunday evenings I am preaching through Revelations “A pre-view of End times. Wednesday nights we a studying in the Psalms, Old Testament “Oldie Goldies”.
Come Climb with me and others
