Church is supposed to be bringing the BREAD OF LIFE to all people. Too often the church has become a place of crumbs. We talk about the bread but we don’t eat often. We are so satiated by the physical realm and fleshly desires that we miss out on the food of God. We are missing out on so much.
I want to encourage everyone to Hunger for God. We have for too long deceived ourselves into believing we are well fed. We have been filling our spiritual bellies with junk food. We are supposed to be set up to be a bakery. We have the ovens, we have the Word, we have God’s spirit…but we have settled for the crumbs instead of the whole loaf.
If you were in land that was without food and you brought in sacks of rice and beans what do you think the response would be? I don’t have to tell you…you know. People would come from everywhere and would come hungry.
Are we hungry for God? If we are Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are hungry, for they will be filled.”

Family of God,
I just wanted to remind everyone that God is at work all around us. The question is are we in tune with God. Yesterday, Brother Rick and myself had lunch at Panera’s. We talked about spiritual matters for over an hour. A lady at a table near us listened to our conversations. At the end see came up to me and asked for prayer and to say she was encouraged by our faith. Below is her email to me. Please join me in praying for Cathy’s prayer request. I consider this a divine appointment…I want to encourage you to look for these oppotrunities. If you let your light shine before men (She heard our words, saw are actions, witnessed our prayers, and as a result it created a God opportunity.) Never forget to let your light shine and be prepared and on the lookout for divine opportunities.
Our God is an Awesome God,
PC

Pastor McCombs,
I’m sorry about the way I reactacted today when I tried to speak with you about my niece, Lisa, and her husband, Mark, adoption of their son from from Ethopia. I just wanted to ask you to include them in you’re prayers. This whole process has been a long, difficult, joyful, prayerful journey.
Thank you for any prayers you and anyone else can offer them. God works in mysterious ways and prayer is always helpful. I have included a website detailing their journey.
Again, thank you for your prayers.
Cathy
