I know without Jesus, my life would have been very different – depression and addictions would have been overwhelming and I know I would have been a very self absorbed and most likely not had the marriage, family or friends that I have today, but for Jesus and the change He has made in me. I’m nowhere near perfect, but I am changed and growing.

Can I tell you, that as you walk with God – you are going to have an amazing story to tell of how amazing God is and the difference His grace, love and life has made in your life. You just have to walk with Him.

In your journey with Jesus, prayer is key. Prayer in its simplest explanation is just talking to God... and listening. To build any relationship, communication is vital and it is the same with Jesus; He is available and present at anytime via the Holy Spirit and it maybe awkward at first, but just start talking to Him as you would a friend – and soon it will become second nature to you. The important part is just to start and be willing to grow in communicating with God.

It is wisdom and life and has been so impacting in my life as I’ve surrendered to not only just reading but doing what it says. It is an important way to hear from God and to know more about God and His plans is His Word – the Bible. If you have not received a Bible please let us know so we can give you one. A wonderful place to start in reading the Bible is in the New Testament, one of the Gospels. 

We suggest either Mark or John. We’ll dive into exploring God’s Word in more detail in another series, but just start by reading through Mark or John and asking Jesus to speak to you through what you read, you’ll be amazed at what you will hear.

This is why church is so awesome – it is the gathering of those who love Jesus and want to learn, grow and be more like Him. It is a place of celebration and place of encouragement. We were never meant to walk alone – we are not islands; we are called to not only love God, but to love people and church is a safe place to grow in your journey. So come alone! You are more than welcome to attend ours or even if you need help finding one in your local area we will do all we can to assist. But make it a priority to find your church family. If you pray, read your Bible and go to church, I know you will be putting yourself in a wonderful position to launch your walk with Jesus!
