Do You Worry?

April 15, 2023
Philippians 4:6-7 – Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

When you are a Christian, you are not supposed to worry. But we do.

The Bible says we should cast all our care upon the Lord, that is easier said than done.

We worry about our spouse, our children, finances, our health, relationships, and even things like events we may be going to.

One of the ways that will help us not to worry is to get into scripture reading, and prayer. A few good Bible verses follow.

1 Peter 5:7 – Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Philippians 4:19 – But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Matthew 7:7 – Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Praise the Lord for Opportunity!

April 14, 2023
Carolyn Curtis and Kay Wetzel

What a great day in Sarasota, Florida at the Christian Women’s Connection Luncheon yesterday.

Carolyn Curtis had the privilege of speaking. The music was wonderful, great food and fellowship.

The biggest blessing was the 2 precious ladies invited Jesus to be their Savior.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13

Is Jesus Your Life Preserver?

April 12, 2023
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

If you were drowning and could not swim, what would you need? Someone to throw you a life preserver.

If we have not accepted Jesus as our Savior, we are drowning in our sin.

Jesus is ready and able to save you! You must believe that He died, was buried and on the third day arose from the dead.

He loves you and is patiently waiting for you. Accept Him today.

Jesus is Alive!

April 10, 2023
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Mark 16:19-20

The Bible records many times Jesus appeared after He rose from being in the grave to many people.

To the women at the tomb that first Sunday morning. Two men walking on the road.

The disciples as the gathered together. To Thomas at another time when the disciples were together.

On the shore of the lake where Peter and some of the fishermen had been fishing and to many others.

Jesus ascended into Heaven after 40 days, but He left them with a command, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”

That is His command to us also. It is our responsibility to tell others about Jesus death, burial and resurrection. He died for the people of the world, but they must hear it and accept the message to be assured of eternal life.

Jesus Has Risen! Hallelujah!

April 9, 2023

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. Matthew 26:1-9

Jesus, Death on the Cross

April 7, 2023

Jesus, beaten, bleeding is made to carry His own cross, through the streets where people mocked Him. They took Him to a hill called Golgotha.

Then they drove spikes into His hands and feet. The cross was lifted and dropped. The pain and agony Jesus suffered for hours as He hung on the cross.

He is slowly dying. Finally, He cries out, “It is finished.”

Finished. Why Jesus came from Heaven to Earth. To die on the cross for payment of our sin. His mission accomplished.

Jesus Put On Trial

April 6, 2023

So much has happened since we left Jesus praying in the garden. Judas has led the guards to Jesus, and He’s arrested and then tried by the High Priest, the high council, Pilate, and finally Herod. These “trials” are the very definition of a sham trial, a miscarriage of justice.

Jesus was without sin. They beat Him, put a crown of thorns on His Head. Mocked Him, spit on Him and He did not defend himself.

Then they led Him to Calvary where they nailed Him to a cross.

The amazing thing is that Jesus did all of that willingly. Why? Because of love for you and me. He suffered all that humiliation because it was the only way for us to have our sins forgiven!

Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, Matthew 26:67

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. John 3:16

Jesus in the Garden

April 5, 2023

Jesus knew He was soon going to die on the cross. He needed strength and courage to face this painful death.

He went to the garden of Gethsemane to pray. We sometimes forget that Jesus was a man. He had the same concerns in His body as we do. He felt pain and suffering. He was getting ready to take on all our sin. He was sinless.

He prayed 3 times that He would not have to endure this but then He told the FATHER, not My will but Yours. Jesus willingly was ready to die on the cross for our sin.

He said something else to His disciples. Watch and pray that you fall not into temptation.

What a lesson for us today. Trust God and be willing to do His will even if it is difficult. He will give us strength. Then be in prayer about everything. We do not want to give in to temptation.

And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. Matthew 26:39

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41

Jesus Righteous Anger!

April 3, 2023

Did Jesus get angry? Yes, rightfully. Greedy people were selling sacrifice animals in the temple. These merchants where talking advantage of the people who came to worship in the temple.

Jesus called them thieves. They must have been selling animals at prices that were more than the animals were worth.

Not only that, the temple was a place for prayer, not merchandise. These merchants were a distraction for the people who wanted to worship.

It is a lesson to us as true believers. Do we allow the love of money or anything else distract us from worshipping God as we should? It is a good time to search our own hearts and make sure that nothing stands in our way when we worship.
