VERSE: “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple” (Psalm 19:7).

EQUATION: God’s Commands + His Grace = the Most Fulfilled Life in this World!

ACTION: The reason God gave us His Law and all His commandments etc. is not to keep us from having, what we think is “FUN”! It is to keep us from harming ourselves, from harming others and from harming our relationship with Him. Knowing this, it is now time to readjust our thinking to this paradigm and look at God the REAL way, maybe for the first time!

PRAYER: Lord, we never realized what a good, good and gracious Heavenly Father You are, and that You would love us so very much, that You sent Your Word, Your Law, Your Commands, Your Bible to us. These precious words – Your teachings, Your wisdom and EVERYONE of Your commandments are given to us that we may have Your Mind and Your Heart and Your Truth that we may simply live….and not just live, but live a life free from the burdens of guilt, sin and shame if we just obey and follow Your Word, Lord. We thank You mightily for this and the very fact that Thy Word is Truth and Thy Word giveth life, in the Mighty and Strong Name of Jesus we pray, amen.

When we started what is now JesusFest in Auburn, Illinois exactly four years ago, it was a long 6 hour concert with one band after another way past dark, at the East Park. It has since evolved into a more compact and fast moving showcase of local and regional talent, presented to our fellow citizens for FREE! JESUSFEST 4 kicks off this coming Saturday September 20 at the Bandshell of Rock and Roll Hardees, 2501 Stevenson Drive in Springfield at 4pm!

First up will be the Chosen Generation ministry Band led by Don Hunt. A lively combination of gospel singers, Christian Rappers and for the first time, a group from Taylorville, Illinois. The main attraction this year is the first Power Team we ever had at a Business Men In Christ event. The Mighty Crush 3 Power Team is officially from Litchfield, Illinois and is led by pastor and body-builder Kevin Simsberger! You won’t want to miss this. The Power Team comes on around 6:30pm at the Rock and Roll Hardees Bandshell and their message is powerful, as well as their various feats of strength.

JesusFest is timed annually to fall close to the month of October, where we recognize and honor Breast Cancer Month.  A rep from the American Cancer Society will be present.

BRING YOUR LAWN CHAIRS AND BE PREPARED TO BE BLESSED AND ENTERTAINED!
