Pastor Tim's Thoughts

Carrie and I feel so blessed to count you among our friends. We know that we couldn’t live this life without you. It’s our fellowship with you that glorifies God. God is seen and experienced when we all come together and do life together. Whether good or bad, we hold on to each other. We don’t let go and isolate ourselves.

Grasp the formula for freedom for yourself. Apply it to your daily life. When we pray, worship and praise together, something happens. Call up your friends and have them walk through this formula with you. When in the midst of the dungeon, a trial, pray, worship, and praise God together. When in the midst of victory, pray, worship and praise God together.


This freedom allows you to break free from the chains. And let’s not forget – this freedom that you experience may not be for yourself. It may be for others. He didn’t set you free for you to consume that freedom. He did it for you to lay it down as a sacrifice to be shared with others. In this way, we expand the kingdom through fellowship.

Let’s invest in the type of fellowship that expands the Kingdom. I love hearing stories from people describing their first visit to GM. When they see and experience our culture of connection, authenticity and fellowship the kingdom expands. They see it and they want it.

As we look to Palm Sunday this weekend, think about how God has called you to fellowship. What opportunities has He provided for you to connect with Him and others? What opportunities has He provided for you to worship Him?

We have a small army of men, women and kids going into the neighborhoods surrounding Pink and into their communities distributing Easter invitation cards. That’s the kind of fellowship that expands the Kingdom! (Get involved by emailing Michelle.)

God has a bigger agenda with our fellowship than we can imagine. Commit to be ready to endure, and to worship and pray with others to see God change the world through our connection. Be unified to endure the hard times.
