A Word from Our Pastor
JULY 2026
Dear Mighty Wind Worship Center Family,
Time is one of God's greatest gifts. It is also one of life's greatest equalizers. Every one of us receives the same twenty-four hours each day, yet none of us has the ability to create more. Once a moment passes, it becomes a memory. That is why Scripture continually reminds us to redeem the time and to live wisely.
Can you believe we have already reached the halfway point of 2026?
For many of us, the first six months seem like a blur. We have celebrated victories, walked through unexpected challenges, learned difficult lessons, experienced moments of joy, and perhaps even carried burdens we never imagined we would face. The pace of life has a way of moving so quickly that if we're not careful, we simply survive each day instead of intentionally living the life God has called us to live.
Right now we have something that many people overlook—a God-given opportunity to pause.
We have an opportunity to honestly evaluate the first half of the year and ask ourselves some important questions:
- Am I closer to Jesus today than I was in January?
- Have I been faithful with the gifts, opportunities, and relationships God has entrusted to me?
- What habits have strengthened my walk with Christ?
- What distractions have slowly pulled my attention away from Him?
- What adjustments do I need to make so I can finish this year well?
The remainder of this year can become the strongest season of your spiritual growth if you are willing to surrender every area of your life to the Lord.
Let's finish 2026 strong—together.
I love you, I believe in you, and I am honored to serve as your pastor.
With love and expectation,
Pastor Derrick Watley
Senior Pastor
