I felt compelled to write about this sermon. I used to attend New life a few years ago. Then everything in my life fell completely apart. Lost my marriage, lost my house, had my credit destroyed, was sued by numerous creditors, and about everytime I thought it could not get any worse...it did. I was mad a God, I was mad at the world, I was mad at just about everything and everybody. I turned my back on God because I did not understand why everything that happened, had happened. I figured who needs God, when I was coming to Church and small groups and getting involved how could he let all of these terrible things happen. It took a few years to come to terms with everything and to realize that God obviously wanted to get my attention. I obviously was not as strong of a person as I thought I was when I was attending New Life and THAT I NEEDED GOD. I decided to head back to church. I began my search about a year ago and just have not found my right church. I began thinking about New Life and kept telling myself to check the website and see if I could hear Pastor Mike's messages. Finally, on July 23rd, I did. I saw one titled "The Promise 2" and then I saw one Titled "The Promise". I figured I might as well listen to "The Promise" so I know what the "The promise 2" would be about. I only got 2:43 seconds into Mike's sermon before I hit pause and called my Sister and began to cry. I had to have her listen. I could not believe that after about 4 years of not attending a New Life service, I could click on a Sermon and hear that righteous men get knocked down over and over again, but they get back up. I don't know how to put into words how wonderful it made me feel to hear Mike's message. I used to tell Mike that there was something different about New Life because almost every Sunday during his Sermon he would say things that just hit home and made me feel a little freaked out. I used to say that God really is alive in his church and after listening to "The Promise", I'm more convinced than ever that New life is a great place to be. I know that I will face many more challenges in my life, but I feel more prepared than ever after hearing Mike's sermon. I know that I may fall down again, but I believe that I am better prepared than ever to take on those temptations that we face on a daily basis because God placed it in my heart to tune into New Life...I'm still in Shock...but it's a good shock.
