Note From Pastor Bryan
Pastor Bryan with a brief message inviting you to explore the unique way of life called, “Christianity.”
I have called myself a Christian (or follower of Christ) for over 30 years. During that span of time my highs and lows have been much the same as anyone else born on this Earth; with one possible difference. I have given myself permission to be a sinner (because that is what I am) and I have given myself permission to be forgiven, because Jesus paid for my sin.
I found out that knowledge in and of itself was leading me to fear the spider web we call life
|
and I soon became entangled in it’s grasp. My hope was that God would keep me from being consumed in this web of life.
It was then that I discovered the truth; True knowledge is found in the fear of God (recognition of God as Father/Creator) and wisdom is what I really needed. This understanding freed me from the fear of the web of life and the fangs of it’s builder, (the devil... yep, the devil~ who would’ve thought) so I could continue to live in the web. The less I struggle against it’s restraints, the less it can affect me.
The one and the only thing I am sure of is that Jesus loves me, not because of what I do, but because of who I am... I am God’s child. His ways are not my ways; they are higher (better) than my ways. God is willing to work His perfect plan, (even through imperfect me) if I let Him (even when I
|
don’t understand what He is doing, which is most of the time.)
I know God has a great plan and I get to be part of it along with His family world-wide. Last but not least, I love it when a great plan comes together. One day it will! I can’t wait! There are lots of great churches to be found in Eugene, Oregon and around the world today. My prayer is that you find one that pushes you so far from your own life, that you’ll never find it again.
If you lose your life for Him, you will find it!
You are always welcome to lose your life with us...it’s pretty exciting & even fun!
In His Love, Pastor Bryan
