Message Response/ Reflection

~Its really encouraging listening and learning from Gods word through Brads message. I feel energized and refreshed to serve Him with diligence in my service to Him. There are times when I get very burnt out in my service, but by Gods strength I will press on for the sake of His Kingdom

~Praise The Lord! I truly believe in Brads massage. Jesus is truly the light of the truth and we definitely need to reflect and communicate the worth of the Gospel to people. It is so true we dont have the power to change and only God has the power we need to be faithful from the smallest level and God will do all the rest. BE FAITHFUL to our Lord and he will do wonders! Praise the Lord! - Brian

~Today I learned that I need to become just about Gods message and His word. I learned that I need to throw out the seed that the Father has given me; despite how rocky the soil (person) may be. -B Marcus Henderson
Coming back I can not help but praise God for Faithful men who badly and shamelessly preach the truth to a dying world. Praise be to God who in His perfect timing brings about growth and life in the heart of the believers and the non-believers alike. For those of you who attend regularly and are blessed with Godly staff and leaders. You have no idea how good you have it....Remain Faithful:)

~Never give up on being faithful as I serve in the little things. As Brad said, from 1Corinthians 3 all we can do is water the seed (which is small seemingly______), but God is the one who ultimately grows that small seed into something bigger than we could ever imagine.

~I needed this message. Sometimes its so easy to just not take the chance and be faithful that God will reach those who seem like they don't want to heal it. Once the seed is planted, however, God can work beyond what we can see. I need to remember to share Gods light.

~I liked the Parables of the mustard seed. Thinking that something so small can turn into something so big. It also says in the bible that if you have faith as small as a mustard seed then you be saved- such a big blessing. I learned that to be a true follower and have faith in oneself it starts from within to have ambition to thrive. I liked the way King and Messiah relation was really meaningful.

~I do follow Christianity, I love and appreciate life and what God has planned for me. Today I appreciate the message because its a reminder that Gods kingdom regardless of anything is pressing forward. God really wants us to be a part of it too. A seed was planted in us, now its time to let the Holy Spirit to grow in us and spread Gods love.

I LOVE YOU GUYS-AUSTIN DUANE HENRY

Welcome :)

hello EPIC family!!!! welcome to our prayer blog :D this blog is still a work in progress meaning we don't know exactly how this is going to work...but what we do know is prayer is oh so very important!!!! :) Paul says to "devote yourselves to prayer" (Col. 4:2) and "pray continually" (1 Thess. 5:17). Talking to God is one of the many wonderful things about being a Christian! We have the privlege of being able to talk to this AMAZING God but too often do we take that for granted. :( until we figure out what we're going to do, i want to encourage you to post any praises/requests as a comment on this blog, for those of you at home, make use of our prayer/praise boards in the college hangout room :), for those of you away, message/e-mail your requests/praises and we will gladly post them on the blog! :) but blogging, facebooking, etc are not the only way to present you requests, as a blog team we also want to encourage you to ask your brothers/sisters if there is anything that they need prayer for and not just pray for them but also check up on them, ask your brothers/sisters to pray for you if there is a heavy burden or an incredible joy :), and just talk to God! He is ALWAYS there waiting to listen to you :) much love! <3
