RADIO: What We're Saying on the Radio in Aug/Sept!

HURRICANE KATRINA RELIEF
This is Pastor Jay at Promise Church. I grew up in New Orleans and have spent most of my life there. Like many of you, as I watch the TV I ask myself what can I do to help. That’s why Promise Church is partnering with the Jackson Area Association of Realtors to provide assistance to the thousands of refugees from the Gulf Coast. We are collecting many items that will be distributed at a sister church in Baton Rouge, Lousisiana serving now as a relief center. For information on what you can give and how you can help, please go to our website – www.promisechurch.info or call 664-LIFE.

What is Love?
How could someone show you the greatest love? Would they send you flowers? Would they take you to a movie? Would they invite you over to dinner? Would they help you in your time of need? Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.” And Jesus meant it. He loved us so much that he gave his life, so that we might have life. Abundant life. Life to the full. This is Pastor Jay at Promise Church, we invite you to explore that life of love with us. Check us out on the web at www.promisechurch.info or drop by on Sunday mornings at 10:30 at 935 Old Humboldt Road.

What is Church?
Church is a place for worship. Church is a place for learning. Church is a place being around people you love. But you know what church is most of all? It’s a family. Did you know that when the church first started two thousand years ago, it grew by leaps and bounds because people found a new spiritual family that loved and accepted them no matter where they came from or what they had done. It was a family that would not disappoint. It was a family centered completely in the love of Jesus. Are you looking for a spiritual family? This is Pastor Jay at Promise Church. Check us out on Sunday mornings at 10:30 at 935 Old Humboldt Road and experience the joy of a family that loves you no matter what.

Count Your Blessings
Okay, everyone take a deep breath. Inhale and now exhale. Take a moment – right now - just for yourself to relax. Think to yourself what you love about your life. Think about friends who love and care about you. Think about the children in your life you look up to you and who adore you. Think about a spouse with whom you share a life. Take a moment and take inventory of all the things God has given you THIS DAY to enjoy life. Isn’t it just amazing what God has done for us? This is Pastor Jay at Promise Church. My prayer for us this day is simply that we will all take a moment, see the good in our lives, and offer brief thanks to a God who loves us more than we could ever imagine.

What is Faith?
You know there was a time I had given up on God. I came to a place in my life where I thought my prayers were just words spoken into the air and there was no one really listening. And here’s the truly amazing thing. Even though I was angry and had let go of God, God continued to bless and strengthen me, even – at the time – I didn’t see it. This is Pastor Jay at Promise Church. So many of us have given up on God and religion and church. Some feel that God just doesn’t listen. I’d like to invite you to join us on Sunday morning at 10:30 at 935 Old Humboldt Road to see just how God is present and loving, and cares for us deeply. Hang in there. God is still working in your life.
