Cultivating our Word

Every one of us have untapped areas in our life that could be productive if we could only tap into them. We can’t wait for our future to unveil – we must tell our future what we want it to be! First, we need to realize that if God calls us to something – He will empower us to accomplish the task but it must be something He has truly called us to. God qualifies those He calls. If we are compliant, He will shape us and make something good of our life. If we are hard-headed, we open the door to trouble.

Many people spend a lifetime pursuing a dream that God never originated. When God mandates us to do a particular thing – He will gift us with the ability to do it, but we must cultivate the gift. If God has given us a word and we hold onto it and cultivate it, He will give us increase. We must sow into what He has called us to. If we sow and don’t see anything, we can’t be weary.

And let us know grow weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. –Galatians 6:9

It is easy to allow ourselves to become weary because Satan comes every day to pursue and persecute us. If he can steal our seed, he can take our harvest. We must hold on to our word and our promise! We have a due season. We can’t lose heart. Every day we must declare, “Satan cannot steal my word!”

This is our year and these are the lessons we must learn to go to the next level!

Celebrating life!

God is moving at COLC!

God is moving in a powerful way at Celebration of Life Church!! You don’t want to miss even one service or message. Please don’t forget to stop by our Bookstore and pick up copies of all of Pastor’s messages. I hope everyone realizes the awesome Word we receive on a regular basis.

We also have several sermons by Pastor Wess. He is not only an awesome singer, but the Word he brings each time he ministers is so powerful and anointed. He just “blows us away” every time he steps to the pulpit!

We will soon be offering the CDs and DVDs from the amazing conference live from Worship With Wonders church where Pastor brought an unforgettable Word. You will want to get a copy of this and experience an on-time, anointed message LIVE from the sanctuary of 3WC!

Our amazing ladies in the bookstore, Barbara Harper and Jill Wood, will be so happy to help you and you will be blessed by their sweet spirit. Tell them what you are looking for and they always go above and beyond to help you find what you want.

We love our church family so much!

Stop by the COLC Bookstore!

We are Elders Harry and Jeanne Umfleet and we absolutely love our church and Pastors. One of our areas of ministry is the Bookstore. We have such an awesome Word consistently coming forth and each service is recorded on audio CD. We encourage you to stop by and purchase a CD of each message so that you can listen over and over and get the teaching into your spirit. This will be a mighty weapon for you against the onslaught of the enemy!

We also have available music CDs and DVDs from our incredible Pastor Wess Morgan. He is one of a kind! COLC has so many talented and anointed people connected to our family and we have music available by just a few of them, such as Pastors Myles and DeLana Rutherford, Mike Scott, and The Crabb Family.

Come see us, y’all.

Raising Up the Next Generation of Christians - Part 2

We are so thankful to have an active role in training up the next generation of prayer warriors, preachers, teachers, evangelists, deacons, pastors, elders and bishops. Furthermore, we are eternally grateful to Senior Pastors Joseph and Yolanda Morgan for allowing God to use us in this ministry. We love our local church and believe that we are to truly focus on equipping children with all the spiritual knowledge that can help them stand against all enemies that come against them. Remember...great people are born and great mentors teach them how to walk in their purpose.

The body of Christ is starting to realize that children are our most precious commodity and we must nurture them to ensure their spiritual survival. We often hear people say that their children are their greatest accomplishment. What they are really saying is their legacy will continue to live on, after they are gone, through their children. If you are a parent, we challenge you to take a few moments to ask yourself these questions...

1) Am I truly committed to the spiritual growth of my children?
2) Do I deposit the Word of God into my children on a regular basis?
3) What will my children and family say about me after I'm gone?
4) Am I a Godly example for my children to follow?
5) Do I look for opportunities to sow, encourage and build up other children who are not my biological offspring?
6) Is God pleased with how I am handling His children?

If you answer YES to all of these questions, then you are committed to building God's Kingdom one child at a time. For everyone who reads this post, you are loved and respected. Thank you for helping us raise up the next generation of powerful children!

In His love,
Darryl and Beverly Cook

Raising Up the Next Generation of Christians - Part 1

One of the most exciting ministries within any church is Children's Ministry. Wouldn't you agree that children have a way of making adults feel young? The Bible contains many verses referencing children - two of our favorites are:

But Jesus called them unto Him, and said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the Kingdom of God." -Luke 18:16

If anyone causes one of these little ones - those who believe in me - to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. -Matthew 18:6

In both of these scriptures, Jesus is demonstrating His amazing love and passion for children. If we are made in the image of God and are called by Him to do greater works, then how much more should we cherish and love ALL children?

One of the biggest lies the devil tries to get people to believe is that children are more of a burden than a blessing. We say to you today that children are still relevant and equally as important to Jesus Christ, as they were thousands of years ago! We live in perilous times. We cannot afford to forsake one child just because the world has deemed them irrelevant. It is our spiritual duty to train-up, encourage, protect and speak into children's lives!

Serving with a joyful heart!
