The Last Sunday Of The Year!
December 29, 2024Christmas Sunday! May God Bless You Today
December 22, 2024
Christmas 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!
but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Galatians 4:4-6
Mary and Elizabeth
December 17, 2024
Can you imagine Elizabeth’s joy to share with her friends and family that, after all this time, in her old age, she was finally going to be a mother? And how exciting that her son was the one God had chosen to prepare the people for the coming of the Messiah!
Elizabeth had a visitor. Mary, her cousin came to see her, probably to share the news that she was expecting a baby, who was to be the Savior.
When Elizabeth saw Mary, her baby leapt in her womb. Elizabeth is overjoyed that the mother of the Savior came to visit her.
Luke 1:36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
Luke 1:41-42 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
Have a Blessed Sunday!
December 15, 2024
Ten days until Christmas Day! Are we so busy that we forget the most important thing we need to do this season and everyday?
That is to Praise the Lord in everything. If we are not doing that, we have missed what Christmas is all about.
God sent His Son, the LORD JESUS to be born. Not as King but as a lowly baby, to grow up and die on the cross for payment for our sin. That alone is worthy of all our praise.
Then our daily blessings. Too many to even count. So stop today and right now give Him the praise He deserves. Take time from your business to honor the One who give you everything.
The Best Gift!
December 14, 2024
The next 10 days for a lot of people will be the busiest time of year preparing for that perfect Christmas gift. Shopping in crowded stores, looking at catalogs, shopping on line.
The best gift you can give anyone is telling them about Jesus. For your unsaved friend, coworker or relative their best gift would be receiving Jesus as their Savior.
For your Christian loved ones a time of fellowship, a phone call or a message. Your time is more precious than any gift you could possibly buy.
Enjoy the Christmas season but don’t forget the best gift ever given…..Jesus.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that HE gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
Stockings Hung By The Chimney.
December 13, 2024
If you think about it, it’s a bit strange for someone to put goodies in an old sock. But like many Christmas traditions, the tradition of Christmas stockings comes from an old legend.
A long time ago (so the story goes), a poor man had three daughters and couldn’t afford to give them a dowry (money or goods given to the groom’s family by the bride’s family). In those days, it was very hard for a woman to get married without a dowry. A Christian bishop named Nicholas heard about the problem and wanted to help, but the man refused to accept money. One night, Nicholas threw three balls made of pure gold in through the open window of the man’s house. Each one landed in a stocking hung by the fire to dry. The next morning, each daughter found a gold ball in her stocking. With this bounty, they were all able to get married.
Stockings can remind us of the importance of service. The greatest example of service is Jesus Christ. He always “went about doing good” (Acts 10:38).
Take some time to think about the Savior’s selfless acts of service. How can you give Christlike service and show kindness to others this Christmas Season?
Th best act of service of is to give the Gospel to someone who does not know Jesus.
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Romans 10:15
The Christmas Tree- Symbol of Eternal Life
December 12, 2024
It wasn’t until about the nineteenth century that we find Christianity absorbing the bright, cheery symbolism of the Christmas tree. The Christians had long held the fir as a symbol of the Tree of Life.
Early Christians knew their symbolism well, as they added candles and apples to their Christmas firs. These candles represented the light of Christ. The apples symbolized knowledge which spawned man’s original sin according to Christian belief.
Here we see the light of Christ forgiving the “fall of man” within the symbol of the Christmas tree.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Black Friday or Good Friday?
November 29, 2024
Today is called Black Friday. It is a day when people traditionally run to the stores to get bargains Christmas gifts.
In contrast there is a day that is called Good Friday. That is the day people say that Jesus died on the cross.
The disciples thought that that day was Black and they lost all hope. They did not understand that Jesus would rise again.
Today as you may be going shopping for gifts, please take a few minutes to remember that Jesus is the true gift, given to everyone by God the Father. All we have to do is accept His Gift.
Let us turn Black Friday into Good Friday!
Happy Thanksgiving!
November 28, 2024
May your day be filled with joy and Thanksgiving to the Lord.
Thankful For My Pastor
November 24, 2024
Pastor Mike Grover and his wife Cheryl are a great blessing to their family, friends and community.
He is a man of prayer and compassion for others. He preaches the Word of God and has a desire to see people saved and then to grow in their walk with the Lord.
If you have a Godly Pastor, thank the Lord for him today. Pray for him and his family. Pastors have a life that is filled with blessings, but they also have trials like everyone else.
They are responsible not only for their own family, but also for their congregation.
Today prayers go up for Pastor, Mike, and the many other Pastors that are on my prayer list. Will you join me as we pray for them? Pray for blessings, wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit as they preach the Word.
Pray for the people that listen will have hearts that are ready to hear. That unsaved will come to Jesus for salvation and Christians will be convicted of sin and live a life pleasing to God.
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:2
