A Brand New Year!

Posted on by

How can I even begin to sum up how our ministry has grown leaps and bounds? Well, I can’t. It would be impossible to try and put into words for you how much has taken place.

The only phrase that I can say that would be able to put it into perspective would be that our progress is based on the progress “of the people”.

I feel like that we have reached out and done a great work over the past year, and I just want to thank everyone in Heart of Grace, as well as all of you who are our support along the way. We could not do a thing without you all. Most of all, I could not say any of this without giving glory to God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for making a way for us to have a ministry to be a bright witness in these dark days.

I cannot promise you that the days ahead are going to be easy, but I can tell you that you can get all of the strength for your weakness through the power of God. Always remember that.

Something New: After the Fact!

Posted on by

I thought about something the other day. People that are starting out in their ministries always tell me they have a hard time getting in, reading, and really feeling like they have a greater understanding of what they feel like they are taking in. I totally know what you mean, and in light of this have came up with a new concept.

I’m going to start doing something called After The Fact, which in essence is some of the thoughts, notes, and inspiration that I have wrote down and have taken in while I’m putting together what I feel like God has given me to give to others. And more than that, there is always a couple points that you wish you could have brought out that you didn’t get to because of time or circumstances. So here we go!

So with some of the messages that are on here under the live section, I’ll post the link to the audio within the text! I will also be posting these texts as pdf files next to the live ones where available. I hope you enjoy! Feel free to comment and leave feedback.

Singing At The Sanctuary Of Savannah

Posted on by

I had a wonderful experience being able to attend The Sanctuary Of Savannah! It was wonderful being able to catch up and see family that we had not seen in so long!

The service on Sunday morning was wonderful. I got to bear witness to a special treat with the morning praise and worship being done by the youth band, which was simply amazing. I’m especially proud of my wife Angela’s cousins Jordan and Zach, it made my heart soar to see them up there! Seeing the youth in that church let me know that the church of tomorrow is still growing, and is going to reach the nations! We just have to keep encouraging them and pushing them out there with our love and support. They sure do need it! If you go to church and your child is in a program of some kind, show that support! And if you don’t, do it anyways!

Brother Mike Griffith preached and did a spectacular job! It truly blew me away!

I just want to personally thank Angela’s uncle and aunt Pastor Todd and Sandra McDaniel and The Sanctuary for the wonderful opportunity to be able to come and share my testimony and sing. It’s a great thing to have churches that still have freedom for obedience. If you are in the Savannah, GA area and are looking for a place to attend, I HIGHLY recommend this place!

Are You Ready For An Update?

Posted on by

It’s good to be back writing on the HOG blog once again! lol! We might as well give it a catchy name everyone loves, so there you go!

Sometimes it is hard to allow technology to capture how good that God has actually been in our ministry. The places we have been have been just as much of a blessing to us. We have learned many things a long the way, and even though we have grew up and had many experiences, we always learn something new.

The Lord God is wonderful. Simply put. The singing seems to only get better, even when we get more tired. The ministering that we do in spoken word and truth seems to be more magnified, even when we feel more and more weary from the journeys that we take. And though we know there are more ahead of us, we know that there is more strength to be had, and more blessings to give to others. For we do not stand as a group to get a pat on the back, but to hold our hand out and help to pick others up in need.

I hope the day comes that we all become strong enough to obtain and retain that power from on high, that when people see all of us that carry Christ within us, they KNOW beyond all doubt, and that we have NO fear of come what may.

Thanks to all of the past churches for the wonderful fellowship, the wonderful food, and the wonderful experiences! We can’t wait to see you again! Be sure to stay tuned. We are in the works for some new news! I’ll stay on it, I promise!

News & Updates: We Need Your Ideas

Posted on by

We are really excited to announce that the recording of our first few demo songs has officially begun. I’ve been sort of slow in getting around to doing all of the technical stuff behind it, but it’s now up and running and ready for some trial runs.

So I guess I’m posting this to see if anyone has any suggestions or songs that they would love to hear us record as we are doing so trial demos. We will be posting the recordings on the site for everyone as we get better at improving the sound of it.

Song suggestions, anyone?

So Busy!

Posted on by

Things have definitely been hectic to say the least, in terms of schedules and daily life! The summer has kicked in full blast!

I am happy to report that we are about to start doing test recordings of songs to work on learning our new equipment and moving into the new age of recording music directly to the computer. It’s came such a long way. And no worries, we will be filling up the schedule soon enough!

God Bless You!

Singing at Rutledge Pike

Posted on by

We really enjoyed ourselves at Rutledge Pike. It’s good to be able to visit your brother and sister churches to be able to lend a good hand and support. We loved our experience there, and appreciate all who came out to worship and give glory to the Lord!

We will definitely be back for more, perhaps to speak or to sing or both! We’ll keep you posted! In the mean time, if you are looking for a good place to go and hear the wonderful preaching of the word of God, look no further.

Thank you all for keeping us going! God Bless you!

What To Do Now? Let’s Blurb!

Posted on by

It’s good to be writing to you all tonight. I am here to write a little “blurb” about what I have learned the past few days.

I have learned that it is never easy to be able to try and figure things out on your own. Trying to do this only leaves me to my own thoughts and understanding, and as obvious as it seems now, it’s hard to see in the moment. I hope that as I face my future valleys that I can remember the moments on the mountain, and to know that it took something to take me there: my Lord and my Savior!

I have also learned that without faith being in every instance of every trial, that the trial will run its course with no divine intervention. We start with faith the size of a grain of a mustard seed, and yet, that is only the beginning of it. That faith is meant to grow, meant to be cultivated, to be encouraged to something even bigger than our mind can contain. For without it, we can never grow to bear anything that will be of help to ourselves and to others.

Another important piece that I have obtained is the realization that people need each other. It is simply more convenient to think that everyone is okay, so we never bear the burdens of heavy hearts. It is simply easier to think “it’s someone else’s problem”. It’s so sad, but so true. I’m here to tell you that I am changing my frame of mind, and to realize that people need me. People need that anointing that God has placed in my life. For on my own, I am nothing, but God through me, I can do all things.

And finally, I will close with the thanks and gratitude to anyone and everyone out there that is supporting us in this ministry. We have had some things try and come to slow us down, but we are not stopping for anything! We are continuing forward, aspiring for the mark and high calling that we have read about! God bless you all!

Singing and Speaking At The House of The Lord Youth Revival

Posted on by

Where can I even begin? So far, the past few days at the “Youth Explosion Revival” have been wonderful!

I have seen a great sense of want from each of these children, and I am happy hope that as of today that there have been 6 youth saved as a result of 4 days. For some of you out there, you may want to say that 6 is a drop in the bucket; but i want to just encourage you in knowing that I feel like they got the “real thing”, and not so much a 30 second hope.

This revival and everything that has been entailed in it has been so great. The House of the Lord has been very easy to work in: I feel free and at liberty to do what God has appointed me to, and more than that, I feel like I have the support of the body there.

So I just want to thank the Pastor and his staff, the body of believers, the great praise band, and most of all, the wonderful kids that have came out the past few days. You made this effort and this experience worth every part of it.

We are going to be in service tonight, and I invite anyone and everyone to come and be a part!  Invite someone that you know is in need today!
