He for me who caused His pain. Amazing love! How can it be that my God should die for me!’ These are the words of Charles Wesley from the hymn And Can It Be? They reflect my feelings toward the incredible gift of becoming DFC’s Lead Pastor. We have been wonderfully blessed by this amazing opportunity. Isn’t it just like Jesus to overwhelm us with His blessing? On this first official day of our ministry here, I want to thank the DFC family, as well as my own out-of-town family and friends, for sharing this day of blessing with us. We have been overwhelmed by the generosity, love, encouragement and support flooding us from our DFC family! God has been so good to us through you! I believe in the ‘God of the Immeasurably More!’ I believe in the God who wants to bless us abundantly. We serve the God who desires to pour His grace to overflowing. As you arrive today I want you to anticipate His abundant grace! You are on the verge of a miracle of grace in your life. Allow God’s immeasurable grace to be poured into your life today! I am thrilled you are here!
