We're not perfect but we're growing to be solid rock followers of Christ. The vision is clear and the mission is Biblical. The vision is becoming reality and the mission is being lived out. We're on a journey and there is room for you.




Enjoy The Ride,

A Shift Is Taking Place

A shift is taking place before our eyes. We have the honor to pastor a church not contained in a building but made of living people who strive to change their world. Hurting people who are being healed. Imperfect people experience grace and mercy. Hungry people being fed. Growing people who fall but get back up. Broken people made complete in Christ. Loving people who don't judge but teach and encourage. Sick people experience comfort. People in need shown kindness. Faithful people giving generously. Desperate people given hope. This is the BODY OF CHRIST! It's amazing to see. Just IMAGINE...Ephesians 3:20

Elmont's Renaissance...

It won't come from the left or the right or the middle, it will come from ABOVE.

It won't come from town hall, county-house, or statehouse; it will come from HIS HOUSE!

It won't come from schools, civics, agencies, activists, which depend on each other for existence; it will come from the reason for all existence, the CREATOR!

It won't come from tax codes or plans, ec...onomic policies, banks, or businesses; it will come from the GOD THE PROVIDER OF ALL RICHES!

Elmont's renaissance will be initiated, cultivated, and completed by a loving, merciful, and blessed God who loves the 34000 individuals/families in Elmont. God makes promises and He follows through on all of them. He's the only one who sacrificed EVERYTHING, and His name is Jesus Christ. He wants us so badly that He died for us; so we can live life abundantly!

It will be reality only when the church – His body, His children – comes together to pray, believe, and live out love & compassion.

Pastors, can we stand up, not alone, but with each other?
Churches, can we come together to believe, pray, and do?

So, we have a choice for a better life in Elmont; there's no debate about it, its Jesus!

Enjoy The Ride,

Baggage Tweets Part 3: The "G" Word

The "G" Word snippets in 140 characters or less ...

My guilt has burdened me like a burden too heavy to bear, said David. Are you saying that today? Let go of baggage called GUILT.#theGword

Have you given or been given "guilt-trip" for something in the past? God has forgiven you/them. Encourage each other. 2 Cor. 2:7#theGword

God doesn't want His children to suffer from guilt. How do I know? It's called Grace. Lay down guilt and take on Grace of God #theGword

Don't let our hearts be concrete that true guilt is ignored. It's like a warning light in car for something is wrong. Deal w/it #theGword

You can be guilty of sin based on Word & still not feel guilty. True guilt should lead to repentance & restoration via grace #theGword

False guilt is just the lie & trick of Satan in your ears. We "feel" guilty for something which God has already forgiven. #theGword

Is he using "emotional blackmail" to hinder your growth? Tell Satan to shut up when he whispers in your ears with false guilt #theGword

Handle true guilt by: grieving, confessing, repenting, reconciling, & praising! Thank God for His love & grace. #theGword

If we fail to accept & apply Word of God, our attitudes & actions will display the hurt and pain caused by guilt. Let it go. #theGword

Guilt holds us back from moving forward. Don't be stuck in your past. Live looking forward to what God has in store for you. #theGword

God devised ways starting back in Genesis to not be separate from us. His final plan was to give up His prized possession #theGword

I might be guilty of sin but I'm also aware that grace abounds more than where sin abounds. Romans 5:20&21 #theGword

Let's understand grace give us opportunity to raise our standard of living. If we realize the power of this love, we get it. #theGword

You have been declared NOT GUILTY because of Grace. Titus 3:7 7 Inherit your new life in Him. #theGword

You are made right with God because of what He did, not what you did or didn't do. Thank God for grace. #theGword

But now in a single victorious stroke of LIFE, all 3 - sin guilt death are gone, the gift of our Master, Jesus Christ, Thank God! #theGword

Set your eyes heart & mind on heavenly things since you have been given a new life. Not much compared to what was given to us #theGword

Enjoy The Ride,
