Oh, the Power of Prayer!
I’m so encouraged over our morning prayer meetings! We’ve been praying via a phone conference call Monday –Friday from 7:00am – 8:00am for the last four months. And talk about a difference; it’s caused such a great change in the life of our church! We’ve heard testimonies from people who were away for a season…
Read More...I LOVE MISSIONS MINDED PEOPLE!
I love people who’re “missions minded.” These types of people are constantly mindful of others instead of themselves. They make constant sacrifices in order to aid the purpose of missions. They live life in with an adventurous approach; putting their faith on the line many times in order to see people lives touched by God.…

My niece, Makenzie Rivera is a very gifted young lady. She is the daughter of Pastors Tony and Dianna Rivera. She’s 15 years old and has a great understanding of God’s Kingdom. She read to the congregation a poem she authored during our special meetings this past weekend. I loved it so much that I…
Read More...This Weekend – KAIROS EVENT!
I believe in “Kairos” events! “Kairos” events specific moments in time when God unfolds and reveals His purpose. Kairos is a Greek word which translates to an opportune time within our time-line. And I believe the next two days are one of those moments for IMPACT CHURCH! This weekend we have Pastor Tony Foster with us!…
Read More...Relinquishment – Our Friend.
Yesterday, during our Family Night Bible study, I shared some thoughts concerning relinquishment. It’s not a popular subject, but quite necessary to say the least. Relinquishment, like most things that are requisite and also agonizing, don’t make the top 100 list of things to ponder and talk about. Relinquishment is releasing, yielding, resigning, surrendering, waiving,…

I’m really excited about our upcoming weekend! We have set-apart and declared HOLY our Saturday Night and both Sunday morning and evening. We will be hosting Pastor Tony and Joanie Foster as our guest speakers this Saturday, and Sunday services. We believe the Lord to speak to us a prophetic word that’ll send us into another level of “living out our…

A few people have asked me for my notes from last Sunday. It was the last message of the IMPACT INITIATIVE SERIES. I can now officially declare, in regards to 2011, “We are on our way! “ Our assignment this year, as a church, is to build a culture of prayer, reaching and teaching. All…
Read More...Prayer Doesn’t Change Things
Nothing encourages a pastor more than knowing that His church is falling in love with prayer. God is impacting Impact Church through prayer. This morning we had 40+ callers on our prayer conference call. The Spirit of faith is ever-increasing and we are about to see God move mightily in our church! I disagree with…
Read More...A Hollywood Disappointment
I’ve concluded that the movie industry has caused us to embrace a paradigm of desiring to live life in highlights. A movie has a way of combining days, weeks or years into a 2-hour drama or action-packed series of events. And those are the best movies; regardless of the genre, it’s the ones that grab…
