My name is Justin and I've been attending Rockharbor for two years now. I have loved every minute of it. There are some really amazing things that go on at that church. I grew up in a christian family and went to private school my whole life, except first grade but that doesn't really count ha. My life has definitely had its ups and downs but I'm glad to say I've been steady in my faith for past two years. I have seen God work in some amazing ways, not only in my life but in others around. Radical conversions, freedom from addictions, healings, miracles, prophesies, all things the Lord has allowed me to witness. He is so undeniable. His love and grace surround us in everything we do and to deny that would be foolishness. I try to live my life for Him daily but I do fall short. That is the beauty of it though. I fall so short but still He picks me up. Still He loves me. Everything I have is from Him. He just allows me to hold on to it for a short time. My desire is to be involved in ministry anyway I can. Whether that means mopping the floors or teaching in front of hundreds. Wherever He leads me is the path I will take.
I joined this group to build even greater community with other believers around me. I feel it is necessary to surround ourselves in deep relationship together as we experience Christ. To support each other during hard times, encourage one another, and build each other up. I feel this group will be great way to do all those things. We have a unique opportunity to not only meet and grow with each other but learn how to disciple others. That is what the tells us to do isn't it? "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations." (Matthew 28:19). Im excited to see how we all grow over these next months together.
That's awesome to hear Justin and God never seizes to amaze me as well ever since I became a Christian.
