March Reflection & Renewal 3/26 

As we transition from the richness of Black History Month into the month of March Women’s History, we move forward with gratitude for the past and hope for what lies ahead. Just as the weather begins to shift toward greater warmth and light, we too enter a new spiritual season. During this sacred Lenten journey of sacrifice, fasting, and prayer, we are invited to reflect, realign, and renew our commitment to Christ. This is a season not only of personal devotion, but of holy presence offering light to those who walk in darkness. Now is the time to share our Christian faith with authenticity and love.

 

As Director of Evangelism for the Buffalo District, I encourage us to be intentional in making credible, christian disciples and live as witnesses who reflect Christ in both word and action. Let us reflect, pray, and boldly share Christ. As, I navigate my personal challenges in life I still remain faithful to God’s call on my life. Greater days are ahead. Let us reflect, pray, and boldly proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. No power in the sky above or in the earth below indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate me from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

Romans 8:39 The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16 NLT And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17 NIV

Intentional & Effective Disciple-Making As all Christians look toward the renewal of the Church, any new ministry metric must effectively evaluate how people are truly doing as individuals. Research shows that those whose lives are grounded in faith and who maintain a connection to an active church community are more likely to flourish in other key dimensions of life, such as relationships, vocation, finances, and physical and mental well-being.

From the Pastors Desk,
My Inspirational Word...
As, we continue to battle trials and all the bad news daily ... Galatians 6:9 Let us not grow weary in well doing...
I want to encourage you today that as in the days of Moses in the Book Numbers Ch 20, as the Children of Israel traveled in the wilderness, they became very weary. But they stayed on course to reach their goal although it was not an easy road.
They began to want to do things their way... Well, as the story reads, they continued to Moan, Groan and Complain to Moses. They said to Moses, "why did you bring us out of Egypt to this Desert place into the wilderness"?. They asked him "did you bring us here to die"? They continued to complain about their condition on a regular basis. And the result is that many began to rise up against Moses and Aaron, they began taking things into their own hands...Well, that didn't work out very well, the result is God had to show them better than Moses could tell them. The Moral of this Inspirational Check In is that God was in control back then and he is in Control Now!
So, I say to each of you today the Scriptures tell us that" if you can just hold out and be steadfast unmovable always abounding in the Lord"! And "If we would only Trust God, and keep the Faith", then there will be Victory after this. So, be not weary in well doing if we faint not, we shall reap a harvest that the Lord is preparing for us...
So, to each of you when you pray ask the Lord to "Help you to Hold out until your Change Comes"....

Blessings,
There will be Glory after this!
Pastor Bufford
