                                                 Building and Sustaining Your Confidence
                                              “By Understanding your Source of Confidence”
                                                    Psalm 71:5, Jeremiah 17:7, Psalm 27:3
 
                                    THREE THINGS THE BIBLE TEACHES WILL NOT WORK!
 
  • Appearance:
 
 
Designer Clothes: ‘If I look good, then I must feel good.”
 
I Samuel 16:7, “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
 
  • Acquisitions:
 
 
Materialism has its roots in Low – Self Esteem
 
  “Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive…”
 Proverbs 11:28
 
  • Achievements: Jeremiah 9:23-14
 
 
Jeremiah Mentions 3 Big Values in America today:
 
1. Intelligence – “…the wise man boasting of his wisdom” 
2.  Physical Ability – “…the strong man boasting of his strength” 
3. Money – “…the rich man boasting of his riches” 

                              THREE LIFE PRINCIPLES THE BIBLE TEACHES WORKS!
 
  • God made me Unique.
 
You find your identity and your dignity in your creator. (Psalm 8:5)
 
  • Jesus died for me.
 
Value is determined by what someone is willing to pay. (I Peter 1:18-19)
 
  •   God has a plan for my life! “God did advance planning on your life.” (Ephesians 2:10)
 
“God has a plan for every child” (Psalm 139:16)
 
“Every Christian is on SPECIAL assignment from God, with special abilities and gifts He has given.” (I Corinthians 12:4)
 
 
 
                                    THE SECRET TO THE SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT IS FOUND…
                                                  MATTHEW 28:19-20 (the message)
  
“Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: (I AM SENDING YOU!)
Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.”

    David Craig, Pastor

    I began my journey as the Lead Pastor in June 2011.  Prior to coming to Shreveport I served in Texas, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.  I studied religion and music at Southern Nazarene University and received my M.A. degree from Nazarene Theological Seminary.

    I was raised in a Christian home where I was exposed to the Lord at an early age.  As a junior in high school I felt a call to serve Jesus for a lifetime in the ministry.

    I and my wife, Dawn, have two sons. Caleb is a graduate of Southern Nazarene University and Adam attends ULM in Monroe, La

    In my spare time I enjoy sports of all kinds, but especially the Texas Longhorns.
