Fellowship With God And One Another
January 21, 2024Are you God’s child?
January 9, 2024
As our children in America go to school, what we expect them to do? Learn, be obedient and respectful to their teachers and make good friends.
Most people if they are born in a Christian home, and in America, think they are God’s child. But that is not true. The Bible tells us that we “must be born again”. We are NOT a child of God until we accept His Son, Jesus, as our Savior.
Then, how much more should we as Christians become as children. God wants us to study His Word, be obedient to Him, respect our pastors and teachers and have fellowship with other believers. Are you His child?
Short Days!
January 6, 2024
This time of year in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun light is much shorter. Sometimes that can be depressing for you.
When you get discouraged or depressed there is a source of true light that can give you the joy and peace you need.
His name is Jesus. He is the light that all of us need in our lives. Turn to Him today with all you cares and concern. He is waiting to hear from you.
New Year’s Eve A New Beginning
December 31, 2023
Many people will be celebrating New Year’s Eve tonight drinking, going to parties, etc., only to start the New Year with a headache and hangover. We can start our New Year with a clean heart.
Christians take time this evening to pray for forgiveness for the unconfessed sins that we have committed.
If you have never accepted Jesus as your Savior there is no better way to start a new year than becoming a new person in Christ.
Happy New Year. May 2024 bring you and your loved ones peace and joy that only the Lord can give.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Christmas Is Over, Jesus Is Still Here!
December 29, 2023
Christmas is over, time to take down the beautiful decorations and keeping in our hearts the memories of Christmas 2023.
It always makes me sad to put away those wonderful things that make Christmas special every year. As we put away the lights, tree, nativity sets, let us NOT put away the truth of Christmas, Jesus was born into this world to be our Savior, and it is our responsibility to tell others. So let us make a resolution to be better witnesses in 2024 and Serve Our Savior with more zeal than we ever had before.
Witnessing is a responsibility for every Christian. Tell someone about our wonderful Savior. In person is best. But, we can make phone calls, write notes and use social media to be a witness for the Lord. Be creative.
Think of someone today who needs the Lord and pray for him or her, and then contact them. People need the Lord now more than ever.
Acts 26:22-23 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
Joseph’s Warning From God!
December 28, 2023
After the wise men’s visit, Joseph was warned in a dream to take Jesus and Mary and flee to Egypt.
Herod was seeking to kill Jesus and not getting a report back from the wise men he had all the young children in Bethlehem killed. But Jesus was safe and the little family stayed in Egypt until Herod was dead.
Then once again Joseph had a dream and returned but went to live in Nazareth where Jesus grew from childhood until He started His earthly ministry.
God’s Word is true. Every prophesy concerning Jesus birth was fulfilled down to the last detail. Many people leave Jesus in the manger as a baby but do not believe future events also predicted in the Bible. Jesus is the Messiah, He did die on the cross and He is coming again to rule and reign over all the world. Are you ready for a great future with Jesus the coming King?
Matthew 2:13-15 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
Anna In The Temple
December 27, 2023
Anna, a prophet, was also there in the Temple. She was the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, and was very old. She was a widow, for her husband had died when they had been married only seven years.
Probably, after her husbands death, Anna would have been encouraged to get married again and have children.
Anna, chose to stay single. She chose to serve the Lord. She chose to fast and pray, worshiping the Lord day and night. She told people the news of the Savior that was coming, no matter how long it might be before he came.
She knew her purpose and she didn’t let anyone’s opinions or comments keep her from it. Then Anna saw Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus in the temple and knew her purpose had been fulfilled.
Luke 2:36-38 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption.
Simeon With Baby Jesus
December 26, 2023
The Christmas story did not end with the birth of Jesus. That was just the beginning. The Bible records little about baby Jesus. We know He was taken to the temple to be dedicated to the Lord when Mary’s time of purification was over as the law of Moses commanded. A sacrifice of a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons.
While at the temple Mary and Joseph met two people. Today we will talk about Simeon.
He was righteous and devout and was eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come and rescue Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him and had revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. That day the Spirit led him to the Temple. So when Mary and Joseph came to present the baby Jesus to the Lord as the law required, Simeon was there. He took the child in his arms and praised God, saying,
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. Luke 2:29-32
Merry Christmas!
December 25, 2023
Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Christmas Sunday
December 24, 2023
Christmas Eve Sunday. May you be reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas today.
God sent His Son, Jesus, to be born, and then to die, and rise again so you and I can have eternal life.
As we celebrate Jesus birth, let us not forget to tell others the good news. Christmas is all about JESUS!
