Deal or No Deal: The Real Deal

This past Sunday we had two great services that concluded our Deal or No Deal Series with an illustrated message entitled "Deal or No Deal: The Real Deal." Our participants did a great job along with the media team organizing the sound, lighting, and music. Many people accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior!

The message centered around Proverbs 14:12, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." We are all following a path. Most of us are following our own path and making our own decisions. The problem is that some of us do O.K. making our own decisions. However, the verse says, "in the END it leads to death."

We don't always know how things are going to play out, but trusting in the One who knows the end from the beginning is the only way to live life. That's what the familiar passage in Proverbs 3:5,6 tells us: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct you path."

God's path is the only walkway to travel that allows for satisfaction and fulfillment. That's the Real Deal!

Last week we challenged everyone in our church to become tithers, giving 10% of their income back to the Lord. Our giving totals were up again this week, so I am expecting to start hearing some awesome testimonies very soon!
