Good Morning
As you rise to the gift of another day, you may find yourself in one of three places. On top of the mountain, in the valley, or somewhere in between. Wherever you find yourself today rejoice. God woke you up for this day. He has a plan and that plan must include you. We all desire to be on the mountain top of life, but do not despise the valley. I have learned so many wonderful truths about my Lord and myself in the valley. The view isn't always pretty or clear, but it always forces us to look up. Then we are able to see the mountain. We are able to see hope that waits on top. It is the climb that reveals what is really inside of us. So today if you are in the valley of life, ask God to show you why you are there. Then start climbing and watch how strong you grow so that you will be ready for what awaits you on the mountain. Have a very blessed day. Be Blessed Pastor Eddie

Good Morning
I pray this day finds you in the center of God's will. Recently we have had an abundance of rain, flooding, and very stormy weather, In the midst of these storms, I am reminded of the sustaining protection of our Heavenly Father. Through every storm of my life, I have had an Anchor for my soul. My Anchor has been tested and proven to hold me steady in the midst of chaos. Today as you go through your day, be reminded of who can calm your storms. "Peace Be Still" from our Jesus and it will soon subside. After every storm the sun will shine again. Another reminder that the Son of God has triumphed over all our storms. Be Blessed Pastor Eddie There is something very special about the morning. Watching the Sun as it first appears through the trees, and listening to the Praise of the wildlife around me.
Every new morning brings hope. Hope brings joy, and joy gives birth to Peace. Perhaps some of you are dealing with a fearful situation. Fear is a thief that robs Hope, Joy, and Peace. Today face your greatest fear. Look it in the eye and remind it who you are in Christ. Claim the Word; 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Let faith overcome fear and your destiny be greater than your doubt. Now go enjoy this day. Be Blessed Pastor Eddie I believe that there is hope for every soul to hear, understand, respond, and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
We all need that assurance in our lives to gain not only salvation, but Peace and joy as well. At SUNRISE CHAPEL we believe in the Power to rise above the circumstances of life, and fly under the shadow of the Almighty.When I think about this, I am reminded of a story I was told as a young boy. One day a baby Eagle fell from it's mother's nest into a chicken pen. The baby Eagle was taken in by a mother chicken, and quickly taught all of the chicken ways. For months the Eagle would walk around all day looking at the ground, only satisfied by pecking at what was in front of him. One such day as the Eagle was looking down, he saw a shadow on the ground. After a moment of wonder he slowly looked up. He saw something in the sky that looked a lot like himself. It was another Eagle! Suddenly he realized that he was not born to live a life always looking down. He was born to fly. We who are in CHRIST JESUS were born again to fly above our trials, not walk around with our heads down only seeing what is before us. So stop hanging around the chickens, and start Learning To Fly!
