Pastor Scott, thanks for stopping by and for your wonderful comments of encouragement! It’s awesome to hear of your passion for focusing on the good news of christ and stripping away all the other stuff that leads to envy and boasting and division. Amen to you sir!

You’re now on our radar and I’ll connect with your website and lift you and your ministry and all of the greater Phoenix area in prayer. We stand alongside you and Oasis Life Church and it is our honor to know such a joyful fellow servant with a kingdom mindset and a vision for unity within the body of Christ!

Hi Dave – Thank you for your post! I am reminded as is beautifully reflected in “The Shack” of how quickly we judge. We need to be about stripping away the things we ‘think’ are essential and understand what is ‘truly’ essential. I ask – does a position, style, theological stance or other preference affect ones salvation? – If it is outside of “the gospel” then it really is not essential.

God created DNA and it spills over into how we do church. Let’s be secure enough in our own style and DNA that we can support one another – even refer individuals to other churches in our community if the individual would find a better fit there.

Dave – I’ll look forward to seeing how God blesses your plant in N. California. We are a plant in the desert of AZ – just outside of the Phoenix Metro area. We are having a blast – we pray that you too will enjoy the journey!

Blessings – Pastor Scott Helsel, Oasis Life Church, Maricopa, AZ

Hi Hank! Thanks for stopping by and letting me know you were here :) One Prayer is so amazing that we can connect and feel the prayerful support of so many that want to see a spirit of unity within the body of Christ.

By the way, Perry Noble’s message from the One Prayer series is gonna move you…it’s a strong word from the Lord!

Thanks for posting this. I also found you by way of oneprayer.com. Our church (Seacoast) is participating in One Prayer. We had Perry Noble as a guest speaker at Seacoast a while back and I loved his message. I look forward to his message during the One Prayer series.

Well, all the posts show November 6 because that is my birthday! Ha, ha…actually it is 11/06/08 with the “11″ being the day and “06″ being the month. I think that’s how it is written out in the military or something like that. I’ll have to go into my display settings and see if I can correct it for us non-military folks :)

Thanks and hope you have a good week as well!!!

Hi Sandra, I can’t believe this blog post made it out to the general public like that! Thank you so much for stopping by and for being a faithful member of NewSpring Church and all that God is doing to reach many through your ministry with the gospel of Christ.

As for Jeff, I do not know him. Sacramento is still a small town, but our county encompasses about 2.3 million people so there are still a lot of people here I don’t know personally :) Blessings to you as well good and faithful servant of the Lord!

God bless you. and your church in Sacramento…
