This is from my friend John Coats in Tulsa! He is the Student Pastor at Generation Link.
Over the last few months I’ve known we were getting ready to make some adjustments in many areas here at The Ignition.
Over the next few months you will see some changes not only on our page but also at our weekly services. We are excited about our new facility and our Tuesday Night Services!
I’m also excited to announce that The Ignition now has 2 new interns! Casey Meena and Jose’ Mayorga will be joining our Staff!
Please go by the Staff page and give em a shout!
Come join us this Tuesday as we Ignite a Movement!
Pastor Josh
God is called “IMMANUEL”, which means GODS WITH US. He comes close to us when we draw close to him (James 4:8)
By speaking one of His names, you invite Him to be that to you. If you are sick, run to your healer. If you are in need of something, run to your provider. If you’re afraid, run to your hiding place.
By speaking the things He is to you, your faith will grow and you will feel that you’re getting closer to God. read more…
YOU are able to affect your world in a powerful way! Your life and your world can be affected far more than you ever dreamed of, simply by praying about them every day.
A lot of us make an excuse like: “ I never have time in my day to pray” that excuse can make us miss hearing the voice of God speaking to our hearts and it can cause us to miss out on the adventure that God has for you.
Are we saying the right things?
Do I have to sound like a preacher and yell every second?
Are my words powerful enough?
Am I praying long enough”?
The truth is God is not looking for someone to pray who is perfect and who says the perfect “christianese” words in a perfect way. He is looking for someone who has a heart of love for him. He will never measure read more…

ADVENTURE = an exciting or very unusual experience.
participation in exciting undertakings or enterprises:
the spirit of adventure. a bold, usually risky undertaking
The Christian life is supposed to be the greatest adventure of all time!
Have you settled for the adventures of the world and left Gods adventures to the history books?
Do you thirst for God given adventure?
Do you hunger for more than TV show faith?
Do you live for a cause worth dying for?
Every man dies, but not every man lives. – William Wallace
DL Moody – It is yet to be seen what God can do with a man who will yield himself completely to God.
One of God’s main jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there will be enough people to take care of things on earth.
He doesn’t make grown-ups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way He doesn’t have to take up His valuable time teaching them to talk and walk. He can just leave that to mothers and fathers.
God’s second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things, pray at times beside bedtime. God doesn’t have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this. Because He hears everything, there must be a terrible lot of noise in His ears, unless He has thought of a way to turn it off. read more…
