Judas Iscariot

April 9, 2020

He walked with Jesus. He saw the miracles. He was trusted enough to handle the money. Others did not see him as evil. JUDAS. A name that even today we think of betrayal. Greed, for 30 pieces of silver he was willing to betray the ONE who loved him.

We wonder how he could do such a horrible thing and yet, do we betray Jesus with our attitude, our indifference or our sin? When Jesus told the disciples that one would betray Him, each one asked, “Is it I?”

Let us ask ourselves, do I betray my Savior, Jesus, in any way? If so let us ask His forgiveness had love Him as He loved us.

Matthew 26:25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

Faith

April 8, 2020

“Faith is like radar which sees through the fog, the reality of things at a distance that the human eye cannot see.” Corrie ten Boom

Corrie must have had many days when her faith would be tested and she could not see what was ahead. In World War II her family protected hundreds of Jews from death by hiding them in a hidden room in her bedroom. Eventually the hiding place was detected and Corrie was sent to a German concentration camp. But she never lost her faith in God.

After the war she returned to her home and helped concentration camp survivors get rehabilited into a regular life. She wrote many books and became a sought after speaker especially in Christian gatherings. She moved to the United States and died on her 91st birthday in California.

If you feel like you are living in a fog, not able to see what God has planned for you, be encouraged, God has a plan and propose for your life and whatever your circumstances God will bring you through. He sees and will guide you with His eye.

Psalms 32:7-8 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Palm Sunday

April 5, 2020

Today is Palm Sunday. The Bible tells us that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and people honored Him with palms and shouts of Praise. Hosanna!

Just a few days later, some of these same people shouted, Crucify him, crucify him. How quickly their cry changed.

In this time of fear and uncertainty, many will turn to Jesus for help and comfort, but when this threat passes will they turn back to their old ways and walk away! What about you?

The Lord Reigns!

March 31, 2020

Rejoice it’s a something that many of us do not feel right now, however, God tells us to Praise Him in all things. Today the challenge is to Praise the Lord. We have so many blessings. Let’s focus on them.

We have a Savior who loves us no matter what. He will take care of us. We think the worst thing could happen is that we get sick and die. If we are His child what is the threat? Heaven. Think about it.

The Answer

March 19, 2020

Christians, the answer to getting the coronavirus under control is us. God promises that if we humble ourselves, confess our sins and seek Him, He will heal our land. Not only does the USA need revival and healing but this is a worldwide pandemic.

Now, more than ever, pray without ceasing. Many are frightened or discouraged. Call, text or write them and tell our friends and loved ones we are praying for them.

Coronavirius

March 11, 2020

Christians, there is much worry and speculation about the coronavirus, however, fear is not of the Lord. God tells us to trust Him.

We must be wise and take precautions, like washing our hands often, staying away from places where there has been reports of the illness, but God does not want us to be fearful of what might happen. Trust Him and stop worrying.

Pray for your Pastor today.

Are You Ready?

February 29, 2020

These soldiers are ready for whatever they have to do to fight an enemy and keep America safe.

Are we as Christians ready to do battle to fight our enemy the devil? He is out to destroy us. Do you have on the whole armor of God to withstand the darts of the wicked? If not, get ready. Read your Bible. Ask God to forgive any sin. And put on the whole armor of God found in Ephesians.

Ephesians 6:11-17 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
