In February of 2012, Tom went for a run and passed out. He ended up having seven heart procedures in only nine months. In order to save his life doctors needed to do surgery giving him only a 30% chance of survival. “I knew that knowing Jesus as my Savior that I was at peace whether I lived or died.” Tom’s pastor, friends and family prayed and believed God for a miracle. A two hour surgery turned into a nine hour surgery. The surgeon came out and said, “I don’t understand what happened, but a pathway moved an inch and a half, we don’t understand how, but Tom is out of danger and we were able to fix the problem.” Tom said, “God radically changed my heart through salvation seven years ago, but then He physically changed my heart, just this last year.”
The end of January 2011 Brian begin to suffer with lower back pain. The pain was so bad that he had to sleep sitting up in a recliner. In 10 days he went from having multiple tests to being diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. The chemo wasn’t working and with no other medical options, his doctor told him he only had 6 months to live. On February 8th wife suggested he write a Caring Bridge entry. Brian wrote about his journey and all that God had been teaching him. “If only one person comes to know Christ Jesus through what I’m going through, it will all be worth it,” Brian wrote. Shortly after, Brian’s’ wife got a message from a facebook friend, stating she was that one. Through a remarkable memorial service more came to know Jesus as their Savior.
Jimmy was a longtime friend to his wife Christina long before they were ever married. In fact, he was the God Father to both her sons. When she divorced and they became romantically involved, Jimmy and Christine married. “I had a special love for Joseph and Danny, and have been blessed with a wonderful relationship with them,” Jimmy said. As each boy turned 18, they came to Jimmy and said they wanted to legally change their last name to his, Anaya. But the biggest surprise and blessing came when both boys came to Jimmy and said they wanted to be “legally” adopted! “What’s been great is that I’ve been a part of their lives since the very beginning. They’ve always see me as their dad. My story is unique and one I’m very proud of,” said Jimmy.
On October 23rd Mary was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. “It’s been really hard but through this all I’ve been getting really close to Jesus. I really have to lean on Christ,” she said. Romans 8:28 is the scripture that Mary holds onto, And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Mary said, “I’ve had to crawl into Jesus arms and Jesus can pick you up too.” It doesn’t have to be cancer, it can be anything.”
“So often those loved ones who continually frustrate and disappoint us are reacting to their own deep wounds from their childhood years.” Dr. James Dobson discusses how we can “ respond compassionately” and "transform our families from battlegrounds into places of harmony."

“Who are you when no one else is looking? Are you and I the people everyone thinks we are? Becoming real is difficult, but the rewards far out-weigh the pain.”
Pontius Pilate, standing before Jesus Christ, asked the age old question, "What is truth?" Many today are going around asking the same question. With so many different options, different roads, different paths, who has or knows the truth? What is right? Don't all roads lead to Rome? The answer is no, they don't and not every option, road or path is right. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me (John 14:6). With such a bold statement, are you willing to seek, search and find out if what Jesus says is really true? Are you willing to put Jesus to the test and find out for yourself whether or not He is the Messiah? With this video as some help, we challenge you to call out to God and ask Him to reveal His Truth to you. You won't be disappointed.
This video jam titled "Jesus is the Truth" comes from a sermon preached by Dr. Vincent G. Artese titled "Captivated but not Changed".

Each year the people of The ONE Church In Christ Jesus celebrate the pastor's birthday with a special Pastor Appreciation & Birthday service. This video was created to be shown during this service. We pray it proves a blessing as it honors the work and ministry of Pastor Charles Curtiss who began his work in Dallas on Easter Sunday, 2002. This April the church will celebrate it's 13th anniversary. Pastor Appreciation is an important event as it gives the people of the church an opportunity to express their appreciation for the ministry of the man of God who has served them, their families, and their souls. Ministers of the Gospel deserve our respect, honor, support, and encouragement.
