New Beginnings of Rome

Help me Lord! Day 12 of Knee Replacement has been horrific pain! But LORD, I am going to wait on you! I have tasted your goodness, trusted your promise and I AM GOING TO WAIT ON THE LORD!!! ... He will renew my strength! Thank you Lord! I covet the prayers of the faithful! Thank you!

Good morning believers... I am so thankful that my freedom is not based on what I have done but what CHRIST HAS ALREADY DONE FOR ME! Praise the Lord! blessings//Rick

We know God is in control and we are trusting and believing Him for her complete healing. Praying for Godly wisdom for her doctors and peace for her mama as she waits through this difficult time.

Good morning believers... Meditation and Prayer time reflection is always powerful! And This morning was no exception! ... One dayone final day.I will fall one last time. I know this to be true.I will fall from arms that love me deeply and I will fall into arms that love me infinitelythe most loving empowering, secure, eternal, omnipotent arms of my Lord and Savior, Jesus! And it was as I rejoiced in victory that my heart began to ache for friends, family and loved ones whose hearts over the years have turned away from Christ. Whose Hearts no longer seek his face. Whose Hearts that find satisfaction in the things of the world and not the presence of the Lord. Whose Hearts no longer hunger and thirst after the presence of the Father! To all those family, friends, and loved ones, know this; I love you and JESUS LOVES YOU! And no matter how far you have slipped and walked away. Jesus LOVES you! In fact, He loved you enough to SAVE you. Bring all your troubles and cares to him today for today is the day of Salvation! I love you...rick

Baptism is such a glorious and victorious picture of new life! And today was all of that as we baptized Josiah! Love that guy! pastor Rick Colossians 2:12 ... For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead...

Thank you for the prayers, calls and texts regarding Lori Huddleston Shore. Her surgery went well and she should be heading back home today to begin her recovery. Continue to pray for her in the days ahead as she begins physical therapy. Thank you!

It is better to be a follower who fails than one who fails to follow. Jesus accepted Peter, and in spite of his failures, Peter went on to do great things for... God. Are we willing to keep following Jesus, even when we fail? We all fall short but the devil wants to keep us bound by guilt and condemnation. If he can do that the devil knows we will give up the fight. Jesus didn’t want to go to the cross but he did because he wanted God’s will to be done more than he wanted his own. #belikeJesusdontquit See more

Good morning believers... We will all experience seasons of challenge, difficulty, and downright troubled times! And the Lord always uses those moments and seasons to teach us things about us and about Him! And this morning as the sun rose in my front porch window these words rose up in and out of my mouth! ... This wilderness will NEVER steal my testimony! #jesusIsbetter

Good morning believers Just a little reminder from our sermon on Wednesday evening. We all understand that Difficulty is inevitable, but despair is always optional.... Jesus gave us this command...do not let your hearts be troubled So, if that is a command JESUS is giving us then HE IS also telling me and you that we have a choice when DIFFICULTY AND FRUSTRATION strikes us and that CHOICE we have is in RECOGNIZING WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH! Because the TRUTH is: What happens TO US doesn't have to dictate what happens IN US. Psalm 46:10 declares, Be still, and know that I am God... blessings//rick

Good morning believers... Tried and true... Sin can NEVER be overcome by effort BUT BY RELATIONSHIP! ... And that relationship is found ONLY through Jesus Christ! #trustHIM Blessings&LOVE//rick

Anyone know of a good safe place to rent for a young single mom under $800.00 per month?

Thank You Lord... I am overwhelmed this evening by His Presence, His Love, and His FAITHFULNESS! All I find myself saying over and over is, LORD, you can have my heart; All of it! I give you everything! https://youtube.com/watch?v=U3Skc4MQlqU&feature=share

Make no mistake about it... It had nothing to do with what I have done! It is His goodness and mercy and the power of the blood that I am an OVERCOMER! Can somebody say AMEN?... Blessings&LOVE//rick

TRUTH... In prayer this morning with the Father, He strongly reminded me that I will never be more loved than I am RIGHT NOW! And all I could say was, Thank you JESUS! ... As I sat quietly in my chair and began to reflect on His great love I recalled the words of the Apostle PAUL when he prayed for the Ephesians (3:17-19) that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Can somebody shout AMEN this morning??? Blessings&LOVE//rick
