Thank God for all things since we have nothing
without God. The month of June has come and gone and now we are into the Summer. We are out and play more and moe and the
day seems to go bye longer and longer. We now have the kids home from school so the days start earlier and end later and we
have so much that we have to cram into our busy day. Do we have enough time to cram into our busy schedule. The summer schedule
seems more crowded then any other time yet we have longer days as far as the amount of light we have in the day seems. That
is the time we have the most fun and the least amount of time to do things in. How is it possible that we can have so little
time with so many hours of light to do it in.
Jesus said that we
need to work while the days are light for the night comes when no man can work. Back then that was true before the invention
of the electric light bulb. Now our world has been transformed in one century the century of knowledge. The knowledge seems
to expand and never end so we as man seem to know so much yet we know so little. We are in the days of the end and the Antichrist
is soon to be announced. We are here at the brink of the rapture. We will soon see Jesus appear to take us home not when we
die but bodily without dying. The dead will rise firstand we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with him,
so shall we ever be with the Lord. The time is short and the day will soon end. Work while we can for the Lord and ask Him
what should I do. He will redeem the time so that you can do all if you will give Him your time. Trust the Lord and
He will direct your paths. IF you can do nothing else then invite someone not only to view this site but to come to one of
our services or come yourself. Help us go into the world while it is day!

Today is Father' s Day so I wanted to take some words from our founder John Hogan. He is the founder and Father of this church.
He started the church and although many were founding members it was His vision that led this church to be started. I was
there in the beginning with Him and am glad I was there. God told me to leave the church I was at to go with Him and I did.
This was part of a sermon that was preached on 6/20/04 for Fathers Day. The message is good
news because you are in the ARK. There is a storm coming but it does not matter for I Am in the ARK. So let the games
begin. Let the tribulation begin for I am safe in Him. I trust God. I'm at peace. Everything is Ok I would need a raft if
I am not in the arkand would not be safe when the storm came. When you build a raft that is you building your self righteousness
and there is nothing that you can do to be good enough based on human merit before God. So let the work of Jesus be the focus
for that is the only way you can be good enough before God. So accept it for God wants this to take hold in your life. God
wants you to have an abundant life and give you all the good things that are in JC, so be assured because of Jesus nothing
will come near you, but you will behold the destruction of the wicked. Thank God you are safe in the ARK of Calvary!
I want to point this out for the Lord gave it to me while I was writing this.
When I was writing this to post on the church webpage it was tedious to me because of how the computer functioned. Now
it is a joy to do for you. God blessed me today when I read it again- I pray God will bless you when you read it!

We celebrate Fathers Day and so all that we have on this site is about that. Our semon is about Joy and that makes me
see God in all this. I did not just write this sermon or plan it this week. I planned this series several years ago and did
so when our founder was still alive. God planned it that this week would be about joy. I think lit is appropriate for our
Fathers can give us the greatest joy or take it away. God is our Father once we are born again adn God gave us his joy in
Christ. Will ou let God give to you His joy and minister His fruit in you? Today we have a teaching
from our Founder Pastor John Hogan on our site and we are glad we can still share his teachings. God does things step on step.
He directs our path. God will direct you and keep you so do not fret or worry for God is with you. You are being given this
special invite with these special words that no one else gets because you joined up and God led you to us. Bless others with
what you hear and share it and share your love with Dad today! Go and share the joy that comes from knowing God and the ones
He puts in your life! If you live in NJ then come and join us. We meet Sundays at 11 AM at the Springrield
YMCA located at 100 S Springfield Ave and come and let God bless you. Contact our pastor at revdoncarson@verizon.net and let him know what you need so he can pray with you.So come and be blessed for you do not get what you deserve but you
get what Jesus earned! Pastor Don

What is love? Love is not something that is just felt. Love is shared
from the heart and love is in all you do within a relationship. Love has no limits and love is expressed in all you give.
Greater love has no man then this that a man lay down his life for his friend. That is the love of God. How much do you love
one another. Most parents love their kids unconditionally. You would die for your child without question. Would you die for
your enemy? Would you die for those that hurt you and do you evil? Would you die for those that hurt your child? This is the
love that is being talked about in the Bible for the Bible is not talking about your love but God's. We need to remember that although we lvoe our love is not like God's. God is unlike us in so many ways
for we cannot even love like Him. Our relationship with him is unlike any we have with anyone else. Today we will look at
love and what is the fruit of love. Love is a byproduct of who is in us. We need to focus on God in us for when we do all
the things that God put in us will open up. Faith, hope, grace, mercy all open up when we see His love. Next week we will
look at Pastor John's comments for it is Father's Day, so celebrate your Fathers and your Father in Heaven. He is the
reason you have what you do. He is the reason for all you do have so rejoice in Him and love one another!

Tell me what is your fear? What is wrong in your life and what do you want God to do for you? Are you upset
with God because you do not see him working in your life in that one area so you hold back in the other areas. Do you hold
back from God because of the fact that you have lack in other areas wondering why God will not provide. DO you say God if
you loved me you would do this or that for me? Do you question God's love simply because of what you do not see or because
of what you see others have but you do not? Love is important and love is the basis of faith for no one can walk in
love without having faith in the person they are loving. You cannot love someone without having faith in that person to do
what they said. There must be some trust in them if you love them! There is no fear where there is love.
Love one another for today we will talk about love and focus on what are the fruits of the Spirit primarily focusing on love.
There are too many to preach it all in one sermon. I want to share with you the goodness of God and his grace for without
the love of God in Christ we are nothing but we ar not without God in our lives. He is in us. Go to your
neighbors and minister love to them. Give a hug or bring food or provide a need for sometimes just gentle words of kindness
mean more then a preacher giving 100 sermons to them. Love them. Go and pray for them even if you are not confident in your
self to pray to see the sick healed; know that God has confidence in you for He died for you ,so love them and watch God work
in your life with your love even if you feel you do not have the faith to see it happen, trust in his love. Go forth and learn
how to walk in the things you want to learn and trust the Spirit of God to move in you. The more you go the more you
will see God use you. God only needs moving feet to get His word to work in you! Move in the hearts of people
and watch the spirit of God move in your life,. I hope that you will take this message of grace and share it with others.
I can only teach to those I see and tell them and trust that God will do the rest. I must practice what I tell you. I do not
want to be a tinkling cymbal making noise all around me with no music or benefit to anyone. I need to go and tell
- so do you. So minister his righteousness today.
