Baby Baby

A special thank you goes to Lange for being such a great actor and helping me to preach this message.  You were superb!!

The Holy Spirit will continue to try to feed us different things to help us grow spiritually.  It's up to us to eat!

But we often would rather have 'milk' rather than 'meat'....

We would rather have the security blanket of our relationship with others rather than depend upon our relationship with God.

"Just pacify me.... entertain me..... keep me happy..... Me....Me.... Me"

Easter 2011 Drama 'The Cost of Grace'

Pastor Robert Vaughn and the New Life Sanctuary Choir performed an amazing Drama that was both anointed and had a precious message to share. Sis Denise Borel created this presentation and shared her heart with NL - she was a real help this year! I enjoyed every minute of it!!  Here are some pictures to tell the story...

May Jesus be glorified.....  this was the first year in 16+ years that I have not created and produced a drama.  It was wonderful for me to just be blessed this year.  Pastor Robert it was fantastic!!

 

 

The Profound Power of Jesus Christ

If I were preaching this Easter Sunday.... here are the thoughts I would speak on...

1. The single life of Jesus paid for Eternal Life for all humanity.... everybody. 

2. This Jesus - bridged the impossible gap between God Almighty and man.

3. Jesus used evil itself to conquer evil.

4. The defeat of Crucifixion was triumphantly planned.

5. Jesus did not lead by success but rather by his sacrifice.

6. Jesus focused beyond the tomb of time and walked into eternity and back again.

7. Jesus robbed hell.

8. Jesus planned satan's moves.

9. The paradox of the cost of Salvation cost the Priceless life of Jesus.

10. Jesus caused the vortex of conflict at the perfect time in the human race.

He is the LORD of Lords and the King of all Kings... He is risen.

I know.... because He is compassing, encompassing and all consuming in me. 

 

 

2010 Christmas at New Life Christian Fellowship

This Christmas on the 19th will be NLCF's extravaganza - music, drama and dance along with lights, multi-media, and special effects. Adult singers and choir, youth performers and children's choir are all preparing for this most important Sunday honoring the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ- the Messiah! Pastor Robert Vaughn our music pastor has been hard at work creating this exciting event. 

I hear the staging is going to be so beautiful. The platform is already special for Christmas, I can't imagine how fabulous it's going to look.

If you are anywhere around.... you should come and enjoy this!  It's going to be truly AWESOME!!

2010 The Experience

This Drama was awesome!  The church was full of people who really enjoyed 2010 The Experience.  The phone calls are coming in today about what an impact it has made in the lives of men!  It makes it worth all the hundreds of hours that were spent putting it together for our Easter Drama this year.  Here are some shots of the actual Drama. 

 

 

Bill and Renee Morris were outstanding and special guests in the Drama.

 

 

Special thank yous go to all the choir and orchestra, all sound and techs, backstage directors and prop managers, all costume creators and directors.  It was an incredible performance!

Between the Cross and the Crowd

The focus of my day is spent working on the final details of the Drama which includes several important things.  Finalization of all costumes with the Director, completion of the master CD for the actual performance with the sound tech, various details of the Crown, the Cross, the Chair, the Robe and the teleprompter timing all the 300+pictures/videos that have been prepared for it.  And lots of other things all around '2010'

See.....  most people never think of all the many details it takes to put together a production. But without the silent work behind the scenes, the public actions will never unfold.  By the time Easter Sunday arrives I feel I have viewed the Drama a thousand times.  It reminds me of the actual World Battle that occurred thousands of  years ago.... when God planned the redemption of man.

The Drama of that actual day when Jesus was killed was carefully orchestrated by the devil.  He thought he was winning the fight for mankind.  But in reality God was in complete control of this most demonic day in the history of man.  And God created victory out of our worst nightmare, and the cross became the bridge for humanity to find salvation. 

The Crowd never realized they were completely out of the real battle happening over them.  The supernatural fight was in another realm, yet as vulnerable pawns the devil used them to 'think' he was defeating the Son of God. 

Never forget God.  Never forget His Price He paid for you.  Never forget the power of God to redeem you out of horror, no matter what happens. The battle may be raging in your life, yet God is in full control.  Release yourself from the crowd mentality of this present darkness we live in, and place yourself fully into God's Hands. 

And at the fullness of time all actions become used of God to bring you out... the drama unfolds and the rest of the story gets revealed.  Your Drama will happen and end, bringing you to a fresh start in life and a new season of blessing.  Hold on.... it's not over till it's over!

2010 Easter Drama

Sometimes I travel between yesterday and tomorrow in our ministry!!  And learning to switch the mind between worlds of poverty and plenty, requires focus and understanding of the abilities of those standing in front of me. 

Today I am back in the USA focused upon the Easter events of New Life and what is about to happen that has been in the works for weeks now.  Pre-planning our Easter Drama is now become a reality as what the Lord gave me for a message takes shape.  I am thankful for a awesome team that can take my ideas and create for the glory of the Lord.  So many people have been working on this, I am thankful for each one of them!! 

 

This Easter drama is about men and for men. It's called '2010'. 

This week it's crunch week as we finalize all the many details to be prepared for dress rehearsal.

If you are in Houston Tx, you should come!!  It promises to  be a life changing event!!
