Our Leader

     As I often state in the opening of each of my sermons, “It is my desire that you would see Jesus this afternoon standing before you…” it is also my vision for Greater to become the church that God is pleased with – “That He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.” (Eph. 5:26-27) and to become the church He is coming back after. For if we are to accomplish that vision, we must be saved, “Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”(John 3:3) We must continue to seek a lasting relationship with Christ, No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.(John 6:44) Each individual have a charge to keep and a God to glorify. That charge is for each individual to seek and keep a lasting relationship with Christ, not only on Sunday, but every day. Keep in touch with Him through prayer and meditation. Once that relationship in place we all can feel the presence of the Lord during our worship services and daily walks, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.(Psalm 11:1-3) We can discern the different spirits and our mines will be open upon a new understanding; we will have a Christ-like mine and a prosperous church. Whereas, we can carry out with clarity and understanding of the significance of our missions –seeking the salvation of the lost, promoting the spiritual growth of the saved, ministering to the needs of the disadvantaged, preparing God’s people for a productive life on earth and eternal life in heaven. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, so let us …. Let go and let God.
