Feeling Weak? Jesus Will Give You Strength!

January 29, 2025

Whatever you are facing today, Jesus can give you strength to go through a difficult time.

Cast all your cares on Him. The key word is ALL. You can do anything that needs to be done if you are trusting the LORD and His strength to help you through it.

Gather Together In Church Today!

January 26, 2025

Sunday is special because it is a day when we can gather with family and friends in church.

God is always with us wherever we are but I believe He is pleased when we gather as a group to worship Him.

Great Is God’s Faithfulness!

January 22, 2025

Do we deserve God’s mercy? NO!

We are all sinners, not seeking God. But, He has great love for us, He sent Jesus to die on the cross, be buried and 3 days later Jesus arose from the dead, to pay the penalty for our sin.

If we accept Jesus as our Savior, then GOD shows His mercy toward us and we are born again. 

Great is God’s faithfulness

God’s Creation!

January 21, 2025

To see God’s Glory, all we need to do is look up. The beauty of the moon and stars at night.

A sunrise or sunset. Even in the midst of winter and the snow is falling or a terrible rainstorm, God’s beauty still shines through.

Today, look up and see God’s Glory. Then thank Him for the day that He has made and rejoice in it.

What Are You Doing Today?

January 18, 2025

Saturday is a day that many of you have special plans. You may be going on a short weekend trip.

Saturday is a day of shopping or getting together with friends.

To some of us it is the day we clean the house and get prepared for the week ahead.

Whatever you do today there is one thing that all of us should do. Remember that Jesus loves us and goes with us wherever we go and whatever we do.

Have a wonderful Saturday and use this day to bring honor and glory to God wherever you go.

Time With God

January 16, 2025

Do you take time with God everyday? The best time is first thing in the morning to start your day with Him.

It may be difficult for you to do. Busy getting ready for work, school or children needing attention.

Try getting up earlier before anyone else is awake. If that doesn’t work for you, set aside a different time for fellowship with God. Maybe on your lunch break, or when the kids are napping.

Not convenient? After dinner in the evening is good.

Whatever time you find is best for you, the important thing is that you take time everyday. Jesus desires time with you and you need Him.

Make it a habit. Do not let anything distract you from your time of prayer and worship. You will be blessed.

Are You Tired?

January 15, 2025

Wednesday, the middle of the week. Do you get tired of your job? The same routine. Maybe you are a young parent. Children are restless and you are tired of the responsibility and trying to keep them contented and happy.

Even Pastors, Teachers and people in ministry get tired and discouraged. Sometimes it feels like all this work is in vain.

The Bible has a verse for you. Do NOT be weary in well doing. You will reap if you don’t quit.

That job. You are a diligent worker. Your boss is watching and you get a promotion or a raise.

The children, they grow up to be successful and thankful for parents who encouraged them.

Christian worker, you will reap. People get saved, broken relationships are mended, prayers are answered. Best of all Jesus will say, “Well done.”

Today, do what you are doing with anticipation and dedication. You will reap if you faint not.

Time For Church!

January 12, 2025
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25

Now that all the festivities of Christmas and New Years are over it is time to get back to a regular routine.

The best way to start that routine every week is to be in church.

Many people for whatever reason have stopped going to church. They may watch it online or TV but to actually go seems to hard or to difficult.

Why is it important to go? God tells us to go in His Word. We need the spiritual strength of one another. In time of trouble we have no one to turn to if we do not have a Pastor that cares about us.

Today, decide to make church a priority.

What A Day To Rejoice!

January 11, 2025

In one of the worst times in my life, this verse and song got me through that difficult time.

I made a decision to find something to rejoice about, even if it was as small as being able to get out of bed and brush my hair or seeing a butterfly land on a flower.

God gave me things to be thankful for and He brought joy back into my life, one day at a time.

Today, as I look out my window and watch the sun rise, I rejoice in the day the Lord has made.

Join me in rejoicing

God Will Take Care Of You!

January 10, 2025
1 Peter 5:7

Be not dismayed whate’er betide
God will take care of you
Beneath His wings of love abide
God will take care of you

God will take care of you
Through every day, o’er all the way
He will take care of you
God will take care of you

No matter what may be the test
God will take care of you
Lean, weary one, upon His breast
God will take care of you

God will take care of you
Through every day, o’er all the way
He will take care of you
God will take care of you

He will take care of you
God will take care of you

This is an old hymn that’s words are true. God does take care of his children and he will take care of you if you have accepted Jesus as your savior.
