Sunday Morning Bonus

 Good morning all,

Let us take into consideration,
Galatians 3:6-9. NIV
6 Consider Abraham: "He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."7 Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham. 8 The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you." 9 So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
As we go through today, next week and honestly - the rest of our lives. Let us reflect on how much faith Abraham exerted toward God. Abraham was ready to give all he had, to sacrifice his only son Issac. But look at how God made a way for Abraham!! (Genesis 12:13)

In this faith walk, we as believers even feel discouraged at times, but let us hold strong and sincerely and solely rely on our Heavenly Father, to get us through. Let us not only read or recite the Word, but apply it to our lives. Then, watch, then - witness, then testify how the PROMISE in verse 9 of Galatians chapter 3, reveals itself. 

To God be the glory - we often go through things for to draw us even closer to Him.Let us not let the enemy capture our minds! Satan, the adversary is set out to kill, steal, and destroy - especially our faith!
So pray whole-heartedly and no matter what - trust God, truly!

Stay blessed all, in Jesus name!

Sunday School Lesson 8/23


Hey all,

The Sunday school lesson for tomorrow comes from Zechariah 7:8-14. Its titled “God is Angry with the Unjust”
The scriptures start off with the word of the Lord, coming to Zechariah. Similar to the previous lessons, verse 9 begins to stress the importance of showing kindness and love to one another. It almost seems redundant as this is mentioned all throughout the Bible, but that just goes to show the importance of doing this. The remaining scriptures bring out how the Israelites were not doing this. A lot of times as humans, we get so use to doing things our way – that our way is the “right” way to us. The lesson later brings out that God is upset with this. He is a God of love and as we draw closer and learn more about Him, we learn how to love our neighbors better. Just as a parent disciplines a child, God disciplines us, in love.

Thanks and good night.

Sunday school lesson for 8/16

Hey all,

The Sunday school lesson for tomorrow comes from Ezekiel 18:1-13, 31-32. "A call to repentance" As you read the scriptures it goes in detail starting in verse 5 focusing on those who are righteous, who do not commit evil, verse 9 ends off by saying "he will live." Verse 10 then focuses on those who are not righteous, it says "he will bear the responsibility of his own death" the lesson ends beautifully with: "Therefore I will judge each person according to his conduct, * O house of Israel, declares the sovereign Lord. Repent * and turn from all your wickedness; then it will not be an obstacle leading to iniquity. *Throw away all your sins you have committed and fashion yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! * Why should you die, O house of Israel?For I take no delight in the death of anyone, * declares the sovereign Lord. Repent and live!"
Goodnight all!

Sunday School lesson for 8/09

Hey all,

The Sunday school lesson for tomorrow comes from Jerimiah 7:1-15. It's titled "Doing Justice" the prophet Jeremiah tells us that God requires us to do justice. If we come across someone in need, we are not to overlook them, but stop and help them. The lesson also brings out in verse 10 that we are not safe just because we are the temple (church) but we are made safe through the Will of God. He provides His faithful servants with a shield of protection! 

Stay blessed everyone!

Sunday School Lesson for 8/2

Hello everyone, the Sunday School Lesson for tomorrow comes from Isaiah 59:15-21 verse. Its titled "The Rescuer Comes"

This lesson takes place in the old testament where the nation of Israel were falling into the temptation of worshiping foreign idols. Isaiah was a prophet who preached against idolatry.

The scriptures start off with Verse 15, Where God is displeased that there was no justice being done in Israel. Similar to the world we live in today in 2015, true justice is not being done, especially where you see officials in high places allowing other officials to get away with killing someone innocent - with no real punishment. So many other things taking place today, and true justice is not being served - yet!

Dropping down to verse 17 - "For He (Talking about Jehovah, God) put on righteousness as a breast-plate, and an helmet of salvation upon His head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak." - The symmetry used here, and if you note none of it is an offensive weapon. The armor God wears covers His head and His heart - When we use our heads and our hearts in ways that God desires, we are able to be the people God intended us to be. God doesn't go away or abandon His people because they (we) fall short - His very presence indicates His concern and love for us.

Our world is always made better by those who understand the need for intervention and will place themselves in our lives to help us. The greatest example of intervention as later revealed in the bible is when God gave us Jesus Christ!
Good night and stay blessed all!
