As a staff, we decided on a theme for our 25th anniversary celebration during the month of May and these words seemed right, “Greater Things Are Yet To Come.” We know that God has great things for our city, our valley, our state and our nation. We are glancing back with joy and pressing forward with anticipation. We have had an outstanding line up of speakers each weekend in May, and Pastor Mark Boer from Life Church Boise will be speaking this Sunday. Looking back to small beginnings keeps you grounded, and it is a great confidence builder. Celebrating past victories gives you the courage to conquer tomorrow’s challenges. Be encouraged today that your future looks bright! Greater Things are YET TO COME

Do you make it a habit to speak blessings over the people who have influenced, taught or helped you in your past? It shouldn’t be hard to remember people in your life who have mentored you, given you wisdom and direction, discipled you , or pastored you. We all have people in our lives who have made an effort to help us grow…in God, in parenting, in education, in our vocation, or just in living life! Have you taken time to thank God for them, and speak blessing over them? Let’s not take those important people for granted! You are who you are because of them! The word blessing comes from the Greek words eulogia, a compound word of eu and logos. Eu means good and describes something that is wonderful or very pleasurable! The Greek word logos is the English word for words. To speak a blessing is to speak wonderful, pleasurable words about or to someone. As you remember the past, why not do something in the present, maybe even today, to show your appreciation. Words are powerful! Remember that the power of life and death is in the tongue. Speak life words! Today, why not, encourage someone you know with some pleasurable words of blessing.
