"You!" sermon series
Time for a journey of self-discovery. Let's find out who "You!" really are..
No, not an ego-driven, self-centered trip.
We're encouraging one another to find the real "You!". We're finding the person God created "You!" to be. Do you know the purpose for your life? Are you living the kind of a meaningful, purpose-packed life God wants for "You!"??
Here's our plan for the next 9 weeks!!
June 3 - "You" - "Treadmill Hopping"
10 - "You" - "A Masterpiece Of God"
17 - DCnDC - Chad Entinger: DISCIPLE OF CHRIST WEEKEND!!
24 - "You" - "Baggage Inspection"
July 1 - "You" - "Settling For Paper Crowns?"
8 - "You" - "Help!"
15 - "You" - "Dive!"
22 - "You" - "Giving Self A Boost!"
29 - "You" - "Top Ten"

Mission Kenya
MISSION KENYA this Sunday...
Carl Moore, recent grad from Sunset International Bible Institute (SIBI: www.sibi.cc) will be with us this Sunday to talk about his mission trip to Nairobi, Kenya last year. We're excited that he's here with us this week/weekend!!
Ministering Porn Addicts
I had a great conversation with a distant brother in Christ of mine. We talked about pornography and Jesus' view on those struggling with porn. Though, Jesus hate all the evil things in the world but He loves those who struggles with them. Remember the adulterous woman struggling in adultery. Remember the woman at the well struggling with men. Remember David lusting after Bathsheba and killed her husband to get her.
I mentioned this before but I should do this again. Such a great reminder to those struggling with PORN. The neat thing about this is there's a service that monitors men (and women) struggling with internet porn. It's a filtering service that only costs $50 a year!!!
www.integrityonline.com
The xxxchurch site (anti-porn ministry) is:
www.xxxchurch.com/07
If you type in www.xxxchurch.com, you'll see a porn king and a porn pastor (anti-porn minister).. They're in for a debate.. And, to be honest with you, I'm not used to seeing all the words and labels on their site. But I know they're doing all they can reaching out to those hurting with porn.
We all need Jesus! Bring your brokenness before God and He'll heal you..

DCnDC
SPREAD THE WORD!!! DCnDC IS NEXT MONTH @ FAIRFAX!!! CHECK OUT THIS SITE!!!

******************
Read this powerful story that I found in a book I am reading, "GodSpeaks Devotional"!! Two powerful men with powerful decisions to forever influence ours!! That's why I shrug when people tell me they chose to work than go to church (worship) or many other events comes up that church (worship) becomes the last thing to do!! Read on!!
"THEY'RE COMMANDMENTS, NOT SUGGESTIONS!" - God
Thirty years ago, Sandy Koufax, a Jewish pitcher for the LA Dodgers, announced that he wouldn't play on the holiest day of his year, Yom Kippur. Koufax's employer pointed out that it was the first game of the 1965 World Series. Couldn't he pitch just a little? "No," Koufax said. But, he pitched a shutout in games five and seven, and the Dodgers won the series 4-3.
In 1996, Eli Herring, a 340-pound offensive tackle, who sported a 3.5 GPA, was expected to be the top senior offensive tackle in the pro draft. However, he turned down a possible multi-million dollar deal with the Oakland Raiders because he wouldn't play on his holy day, Sunday..
Do you think these men made foolish decisions???
They would be likely to tell you that the opposite is true. God's commandments are designed to keep us on the path to happiness and well-being. They are designed to remind us of basic truths, such as the fact that fame and fortune are fleeting, but keeping our word and honoring our convictions add character to our lives - character that will serve us well in the storms of life.
Do you have solid convictions to guide you? It may be time to establish or reaffirm a strong foundation for your life.
Amen!!
"If you love me, you will obey what I command." John 14:15

The Boss
Who's your boss??? It's not the Pope. It's not the President. I'm not talking about earthly figures way up at the top of the corporate ladder. He's someone much bigger than you realize! Of course! It's our God, the Father in Heaven!
I saw this bumper sticker on a car. I love this line,
"My Boss Is A Jewish Carpenter."
And, I say, "Amen!"
In a worldly point of view, what happens to you if these incidences occurs?
1. If you arrived late for work.
2. If you didn't do the work your boss gave you.
3. If you were loafing around.
4. If you "walked over the line" as an employee (harrassment, lied, gossip, etc.)
5. If you slept on the job.
6. If you called in sick and ran into your boss at a sporting event (your boss had taken the day off, not called in sick!).
In a spiritual point of view, what happens to you if these incidences occurs?
1. If you arrived late to church.
2. If you aren't doing what the Lord wills.
3. If you're playing around with sin.
4. If you "walked over the line" as a Christian (sin, gossip, two-faced, etc.)
5. If you slept during a sermon/bible class.
6. If you decided not to go to church because you don't feel like it.
Apparently, it's easier to do the "worldly things" and get away with it. But, don't you realize that "The Boss" knows your heart? Do you think you can get away with the things you know is wrong? Let me tell you something that's real simple for a simple human being to do, for the "Boss" has plans for us, therefore we must do as the "Boss" says.
"And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,.." Colossians 1:10 (niv)

Swamped!!
Bloggers,
Thanks for visiting the Nike Formula blog!! I pray that all is well with each of you!! Really!! Keep the faith you all have in God! Continue to serve Him, especially on Sundays!! I was going to create a new blog called, "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord." But, right now, I'm just swamped with so many things this week and next week!! As soon as things calms down (in which I believe will never because the Lord is always busy with me), I will post this "As for me and my house.." blog..
It's important that you come to think of this quote by Joshua close to the end of the book of Joshua. He had other opportunities to attend to but he and his family CHOSE to serve the Lord and not allow anything to HINDER their service to God!! What about you? What's preventing you from coming to church on Sundays? Isn't it the Lord's Day? Is it your children? Is it your job? What do you think will happen to your spiritual life if you are always working or skipping church on Sundays?? Before you know it, it will spiral downward into the grave. That's coming soon in my next blog...
Next week, I'll be gone from May 8th through 11th for a filming with Deaf Missions. They're developing a sermon series starting in June. Chad is the first to do this.. I think it's really exciting. I have been working and tuning a 4-part sermon series called, "The Model Church" based on the book of 1 Thessalonians (expository sermon). I'm really excited about it and also anxious to see the studio in Council Bluffs and see their great work for the Lord!!
I just received a word in regards to our dear sister in Christ, Dorothy. Her mother has just passed away today. She'll be travelling to International Falls, Minnesota. Please pray for her and her family as they cope with the loss. May God bless them all!
