Jesus in the center

And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, where the crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.
Luke 19:17-18

Is Jesus Christ in the center of your life? Is Jesus Christ in the center of your marrige? Is Jesus Christ the center of your family? Is Jesus Christ in the center of your job? Is He? that is exactly where He needs to be the center of everything you do. He has called us to the narrow road to follow Him and the only way to remain on that road is to have Him in the center of our sight, To stay strong and encouraged when it get's difficult on that road we need to have Him the center of our sight. To Find the way we need to have Him center in our sight. I am so thankful that on that Day Jesus was in the center. And I am so thankful that He is in the center of my life today! Is He in Yours?

 He is the way, the truth, the life no one comes to the Father but through Him!
John 14:6
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.!
John 3:16-17
Choose Him to be the center of your life and Live!

GOING BACK TO CALI


 Anja, the Boys, and I will be calling California  Home once agian! For many of you this is new news for some you old news.
     With most change in life there comes with this move joy and sadness. I mean picking up the tent pegs once again after six years being in Germany and saying Good Bye is not easy, on the other hand we are as a family very excited to see what God has in store for us in Cali. Many of you might be asking 'what is it that you will be doing?' That is a very good question and one that I can not at this moment answer. The Lord has placed some things on my heart that at the moment I would like to keep there as we prayerfully follow His lead. Some of you reading this know the direction we are going and as the doors keep opening up we will let you know. It is with the Words that the Lord spoke to the Israelites through the prophet Isaiah in Chapter 43 that we move out " But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, For I have redeemed you; I have called you y your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire,you shall not e burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Isreal, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honred, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life. Fear not, for I am with you;..." These verses have brought us so much comfort as we step out in Faith to follow what we feel the Lord has placed on our heart to know that He is with us and has commanded us not to Fear. Levi and Luca are very excited to be going to Cali and they are sad to have to say goodbye to Anja's family as well we all are. Please keep this part of the move in your prayers as I am sure many of you know how it is. I am in my last week of work and that is bittersweet, serving here for the last 3 years has been wonderful and God has used it in so many ways in my life City Chapel has been home and will always be home for us in Germany, We are very excited to see what God is going to do here and is doing as we move on, New people stepping up to fill in the gaps, New direction for certain ministries Praise God! Roland and City Chapel Thank you for allowing me to serve the King with you it has been an honor.
