letter from brandon

Dear Middle Schoolers,

Well, I'm sitting here in my barracks and it is 6:40pm and the day is pretty much done far as now. Soon it will be time to take advantage of the 9, yes I said 9 hours of sleep they have decided to give us tonight (this is very very rare). Its hard to believe that I have been here at Fort Knox for as long as I have, I have only 3 more weeks (21 days) left here and by the time pastor brett gets this to post up it will be more like 15 days left or so. I graduate on the 6th of May and as much as im looking forward to that, I am really excited and looking forward to the birth of mine and lindsays son! i can't wait to officially become a dad! i miss all of you like crazy and i know with jared also gone now it probably feels a little weird at times. just know that it doesnt matter who is helping pastor brett or who is leading worship for as long as christ is FIRST in their lives and HE is FIRST in our own lives God will bless it (the ministry and the lives of those individuals) greatly! I am excited to hear that youth group is growing. That means all of you or some of you are answering God's call to share the good news, to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know pastor brett has  great things in mind that i know God is in 100%. thank you to those of you who have been able to write me. It puts a big smile on my face when i get them and read them. I can truly see God at work here. I don't know all of what you have heard but recently I have had thechance to speak at our church service on Palm sunday and i have been asked again to be apart of the service this sunday on the 18th (so by the time you have read this it will be already of past) i truly believe with all my heart that God has me here in the army for a bigger purpose than i had first thought and i am excite to explore that call! well, i got to go now (time to shower and go to bed). again i miss you all and remember to keep god FIRST in your lives at ALL times.

In Christ,
Brandon Sweeney

Salt and light

This thursday were gonna talk about being the salt and light of the world, its interesting, I had one of the creative team members come up to me the other night and ask me "Brett, i was reading acts the other day and i started to ask, why don't we have these big numbers of people coming to God like it did in acts, it was like thousands of people"

After a while i had to think but the answer was pretty clear and as well it was pretty harsh, i looked at him and i told him "because now days people don't really want to follow God, they want to just act like christians on sundays and thursdays and tuesdays."

I then started to ask him, when was the last time you met someone who wasnt a pastor that was just on fire for the Lord and actually living out their faith, he was surprised but realized it was true and commited to starting to get on fire for God and spend 30 minutes a day in deep study and prayer.

I want to challenge you all to think about this, don't be a sunday, thursday, or tuesday christian, be someone who actually takes their faith serious and see where it leads you, just read Psalms 1:1-3

In Him,

Pastor Brett
