Facing our GIANTS

Recently, Pastor Ricky Garcia, Cooper City Worship Pastor/Creative Arts Director shared a passionate message during Staff Celebration Meeting about stepping on the court, facing our GIANTS, and regardless of our shortcomings, challenges, or obstacles, taking it to the HOLE!!!

He dissected David's character, and the many aspects we could learn from him on being determined, relentless, and acknowledging the GIANT before him, but more importantly, seeing beyond that...there is no doubt that we all face GIANTS in our daily walk, in the groups we Lead, in our roles as spouses, parents, or Singles, and in our Ministry lanes as we run after the VISION God has given FLAMINGO.

But lets be reminded to step onto the basketball court of life, with the confidence David had...facing our GIANTS, being reminded that God is with us...therefore who can be against us.

Pastor Ricky (Our newly branded Shaq Pastor said "We have a choice to quit, or be relentless, do all we do with a fire & passion, and embrace who God created us to be". So when you come in this weekend, or step into your small group to lead out, grab your ball with CONFIDENCE, remembering WHO'S behind you...and take it to the HOLE!!!

And whenever doubt tries to set in...remember we were each created with purpose:

"I will trust & NOT be afraid, for you God, are my strength & song" Isaiah 12:2

I'm counting on each of you to carry Connections in my absence, to live out our ETHOS, and be thinking & praying about each weekend. Come EXPECTING, come ANTICIPATING, stay HUNGRY & FRESH, & come ready to connect lives!

And for you new Connection leads, pick up your new RED Connector Shirts from Alice or Barby this weekend!!
