Burn from page B5 journey, but God brought forth the change and I give hint all the honor, the glory and the praise because without him it would not have happened." Burke added, "It's most important when our churches who are our part ners have activities. We want to be present. I have known Bishop Nash through the years and her hard work, so it was impor tant to be here and not miss this occasion." Mayor Joines said he wanted to attend the cere mony to represent the city of Winston-Salem and to congratulate Bishop Nash and the church. "I think as mayor, what I try to do is try and support all of our churches, particu larly on a day like today," said Joines. Today is a special day, with all the hard work from the minis ters and members of this church to retire the debt on the building. It's a great celebration, and I want them to continue to be a presence for God in our community."

Gospel Fest from page 85 opportunity to be able to stand in front of God's peo ple and show them my gift" The other acts were Pastor Todd Curry. Dr. George Pass & NEW, Nelson L. Roberts. Jeremiah Salter & Nu Elevation Worship and Kayo Bracey. Bracey is a Christian hip hop artist who not only performed upbeat tracks that had many in the crowd dancing but also gave aJtis tory of how he was deliv ered from a life of sin. He also spoke about Alisia Dieudonne. one of the North Carolina A&T stu dents shot and killed over the weekend, whom he knew and was a part of his latest music video. He said when he heard the news, it broke his heart and the irony is she left Chicago to get away from violence just to unfortunately succumb to it. "It's so much negativity going on in the world, it's nice to just do anything positive period," Bracey continued. "It's too much hate going on now so lift ing up God and being able to come to a positive event like this, I love it. I feel like my music is relatable, because when I was younger in church, I loved God but the music didn't hit me. So for the kids, they hear all of this music on the radio so when you can replicate that, but talk about God in it, it hits them harder because they can relate to it." There was a steady flow of people who came to check out the perfomers on stage. Many people stayed for the entire event and loved the different acts. Kay Hawkins of Winston-Salem said she comes every year and always enjoys herself. It was wonderful and I've been coming since they first started. I really liked the young rapper because I'm really inter ested in what our young people are doing and he had a good message. This year all the choirs had a different sound, which was really nice." Paulette Williams of Winston-Salem added, "Everything went well. The praise and worship was awesome." She said she really enjoyed Dr. George Pass & NEW and that she will be returning next week to check out the next set of acts. Lesson from page 85 in his faithfulness is to be remembered. Christ, on the other hand as God's Son, is in charge of the house (verse 6). Paul con tinues his point of Jesus being the head and superior by saying we are the house, if we can assert with bold confidence our grip on this fact (verse 6). Jesus is superior to Moses. Matthew writes of the Sermon on the Mount and how Jesus appeals to His listeners on various points. This particular appeal says "These words I speak to you ... are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter" (verse 24) (The Message Remix: Pause, Eugene Peterson). The verse goes on to say the solid founda tion is desirable. Matthew records "But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you arc like a stu pid carpenter" (verse 26). The building will collapse like a house of cards as soon as bad weather hits (verse 27). Verses 28 and 29 express bow "the crowd bursts into applause ... It was apparent that He [Jesus] was living every thing He was saying - quite a contrast to their religious teachers." (The Message, Remix; Pause, Eugene Peterson). For Your Consideration: Why is Jesus considered the High Priest of our faith? How are we a house? Life's Application: The basic message to us is that Jesus is the center of our faith and we in essence belong to Him. He has given us advice, encour agement. warnings and promises. It's up to us to act in a responsible way by implementing all these instruments for spiritual growth and maturity into our lives. Life really is what you make of it. Let Jesus be your life coach.
