What faith can do

An exciting and full weekend is coming up.

Chantelle is speaking at the spring brunch.  In addition to Sunday morning, I'm speaking  at the Mid Rivers Saturday night service. And it is the children's musical.

I have been studying the life of Joseph this week in preparation for the weekend. Here is an individual who knew who He was in relationship with God. He didn't walk in his own natural reactions, but he remained faithful to the planning and call that God had on his life even when life was bleak.  That is faith. Faith can bring us through the deepest waters and cause us to climb the highest of mountains. Faith allows us not just to persevere, but to thrive even when it seems hopeless.

When life seemed challenging, Joseph surrendered the challenges to God and let God lead Him. I'm excited about this weekend as we surrender our challenges to Him and let Him lead us.  Sometimes our dreams must die, so that His dream for us might live.

Next weekend we are featuring a song which I think could be a theme song for the Fixable series. It is from Kutless entitled, "What faith can do". Here is a video  followed by the lyrics.  I hope the refrain will stay with you reminding you what faith in Christ can do.

I'm looking forward to seeing you this weekend.

What Faith Can Do

 Everybody falls sometimes Gotta find the strength to rise From the ashes and make a new beginning Anyone can feel the ache You think it’s more than you can take But you are stronger, stronger than you know Don’t you give up now The sun will soon be shining You gotta face the clouds To find the silver lining I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains Hope that doesn’t ever end Even when the sky is falling And I’ve seen miracles just happen Silent prayers get answered Broken hearts become brand new That’s what faith can do It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard Impossible is not a word It’s just a reason for someone not to try Everybody’s scared to death When they decide to take that step Out on the water It’ll be alright Life is so much more Than what your eyes are seeing You will find your way If you keep believing I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains Hope that doesn’t ever end Even when the sky is falling And I’ve seen miracles just happen Silent prayers get answered Broken hearts become brand new That’s what faith can do Overcome the odds

 You don't have a chance (That’s what faith can do) When the world says you can’t It’ll tell you that you can! I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains Hope that doesn’t ever end Even when the sky is falling And I’ve seen miracles just happen Silent prayers get answered Broken hearts become brand new That’s what faith can do That's what faith can do! Even if you fall sometimes You will have the strength to rise
