This Sunday at C3 we wrap up “Phobia” - I really believe this message will be extremely helpful.  We’re going to look at the one fear we all wrestle with sometimes, but never talk about.  There are those moments in life we desperately need God to move - to do something - we have a need, we know he can meet and we need him to do so.  However, deep inside there’s often that question… that wondering - the fear of what if God won’t …

Its real and its huge.  How do we process those times in life.  What if there’s a major truth that Scripture reveals that we’ve not considered.  Don’t miss this Sunday - invite someone to come with you.

(Remember, no services on May 25)

Since launching 90 for 90, I’ve heard many stories of God working in lives.  I recently received a note from a guy named Eric who is relatively new to C3.  His story is an example of the faithfulness of God when we live by faith and not feelings – the power of the simplicity of obedience.

After going through a severe life crisis, difficult divorce, and financial struggle, Eric says he found himself in a very self destructive behavior.   He writes,

“One day I woke up and was ridden with anxiety and depression. I was barely able to work and many nights I could not sleep. This anxiety was so severe; I had physical ailments. I believe God knew this would get my attention. I finally gave up. I prayed daily for an answer from him. I was convinced that this was not God’s plan for me. The anxiety did not disappear; in fact it continued to get worse. I continued to pray and submit to God.

This is where God stepped in. I believe he knew my body could not take much more of the anxiety/depression. I believe he knew that I had such a large dose of discomfort that I would never forget the experience.”

That very day Eric received a call that would be God’s moving in his life.  He had been recommended to interview to be the personal assistant to Burt Reynolds.  If hired, he would start immediately, which required him to quit his current job, which wasn’t bringing the income he needed, just to go for the interview, without any guarantee of a job.

The next day he interviewed and was hired.  He writes,

“I was asked the next day to sign a 90 day probationary contract for enough money to take care of all my monthly bills in one pay period! That God knew me better than I knew myself. That I could muster up all of the plans that I thought were good for me and God would come in and trump me.

Thank you for the sermon at C3.” – Eric Hix

God keeps his promises!  C3, let’s be faithful in the 90 for 90, you just never know what God’s about to do next.  If you haven’t signed up for FLE with Joe Sangl - do it NOW.

I’ve learned that a pastor friend, Forrest Pollock of Bell Shoals Baptist Church has been killed in a plane crash, along with his son Preston. I met Forrest several years ago - he’s one of the kindest pastors I’ve known and has done an amazing job leading Bell Shoals to reach people. Please pray for the Pollock family and Bell Shoals.
