This Sunday at Church: Pray for Someone in a difficult Marriage
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8, ESV
Too many start with their own will, and this is not good.
We are to seek the Lord’s justice, Love in His kindness, and know these by honestly seeking His will and living by it.
Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.
Proverbs 12:25, ESV
Beyond the things of this life, our own sin can cause us worry and fear (anxiety). Thankfully, God sent Jesus to save us from our sin and the Holy Spirit to give us hope for eternal peace.
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9, ESV
Our God did the ultimate good, by sacrificing Christ for us. Now, we have the Holy Spirit within us to empower us to do good works for His glory and help us make eternity that much better.
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Romans 10:17, ESV
The Word became flesh to point us to forgiveness and restoration with God, and the Holy Spirit empowers us to share this news with others to lead them toward faith in Christ.
“Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”
Ephesians 6:2-3, ESV
We honor as parents as fellow image-bearers of God, but also because the Holy Spirit leads us to love them as a sign of our love for our heavenly Father and His Son who loved Him and died for us.
Follow the call of wisdom and head to Proverbial Thought! Jesus said to many people, “Follow me.” When He said it to Matthew (Matthew 9:9), we read that Matthew pulled out his smart phone, opened his Facebook app, found “Jesus of Nazareth”, and clicked “Add Friend”. Then he switched to the Twitter app, found @JesusofNazarethMessiah, […]

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Psalm 51:10, ESV
We are woefully sinful, but God made a way for us to be clean and righteousness through the death and resurrection of Jesus and the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23, ESV
God has given us His Spirit to encourage and empower us to live and love like Jesus toward our Father in heaven and each other
I actually have a planning meeting with some men this afternoon to discuss community prayer and outreach. I may be overseeing this ministry, but we are entrusting the work to these men and the congregation.
I love Jimmy and our other brothers and sisters, but I must also point out specifically why we go out: Matthew 28:18
And [Jesus] said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”
Daniel
This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Pray for your Church to not forget the Great Commission. First though: What is the Great Commission? Its from Matthew 28:19-20 which states: Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the […]
