God believes in us says Pastor Hoye

I went to Cincinnati on Wednesday to help my wife set up a toy give away for her job. We talked about my journey in looking for a church home while traveling. I told her that didn't get a chance to stay for service at the Akron Assembly Church and would like to go on line and listen to Pastor Kent. I also told her that I was planning on attending a bible study with Pastor Hoye on Thursday. While in Cincinnati we visited with my cousin Lateesha and her husband Eric, she told me to visit an AME Church. She also gave me some encouragement for doing my new blog. My cousin has always been active in the Church community. She does radio and tv and as a minister she works for Tyler Perry as well. I asked her to call in to our blog talk show on Saturday...we will see if she comes through. Once we got back to Akron I went to visit Pastor Hoye for a Thursday night bible study banger. The study took place at the natatorium in Cuyahoga Falls. It was a small intimate group meeting in a conference room. 3 people did a 2 song Praise and worship. It felt comfortable knowing that everyone was there just to get a word from the man of God. After worship Pastor Hoye took the mic with the same energy as if he was speaking to a crowd of 1000 rather than 20 including children. We sat down at tables as if we were in a class room. This was important because it made me good knowing that we were there to learn hints the university style atmosphere. Pastor Hoye spoke about God believing in us as believers and times in the bible where there was in outcry for the lord.The example he used was a bible Psalm 121 as it relates to out crying. He also said that he has been preaching the wrong message concerning the story of Jesus riding in a boat with a group of men. The story is that a rain storm comes and it frightens the men. They go notify The Lord of the storm. Of course God handles the situation. Pastor Hoye said that he would tell people that God is in the boat with you. He said that he should of been preaching that God believes in us. He said that God selected that boat and crew because they were fishermen with experience with the high seas. As a result God has faith in their abilities and skills to navigate through a storm because they ate intact fishermen. It is nice to know that God selects us and believes in what we do. So if God doesn't answers you right away then be assured that God has faith that you can handle the situation....
