I've been reading Jesus Is________ by Pastor Judah Smith and being captured by the message it brings, I felt the need to share this further. So when I was asked to preach at my church, a message encompassing the thoughts from this book seemed logical.

I have to say I have never enjoyed preaching more than bringing this message, I felt so passionately about the love of Jesus, grave among other things and really believe that came across through my preach. Anyway, if you have a spare 43 minutes (and 1 second!) then have a listen...

Just head to the Lytham Christian Centre's media page, click 'Launch Sermon Player' and scroll down to 10/03/13 and the sermon entitled 'Come as You Are', hope you enjoy! I always welcome feedback :)

Review of The Power-Based Life by Mike Flynt (Paperback)

Realise your life’s goals and dreams by strengthening your body, mind and spirit.

Mike takes us on a step by step journey to realising life’s potential and walking in the life that God has laid out for us before we were even born.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” ~ Ephesians 2:10

He kicks off this book (excuse the pun!) with a very popular concept in self-development, business, leadership and management circles and particularly reminded me of ‘Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath. The idea being that instead of developing those areas you are weak in, you find your strengths and ‘play to them’.

However, unlike Strength Finders, it’s exciting to see biblical principles being applied here as well.

The principles laid down in this book are excellent and have good practical application throughout. Each chapter is supported by personal examples of Mike achieving his goals, particular in discovering a career he didn’t even realise existed – but that fit perfectly with his passions, goals and dreams.

Mike Flynt is a ‘man’s man’, an American Football player and coach, and this book will definitely speak sports fans, and men’s men…alas; I am not a man’s man, so for me – not a great choice, but some excellent life principles weaved with scripture.
