A Call to Responsibility with children and new believers.

   When we open Scripture, there are both clear and deeper applications that confront how we live. One obvious and important application is the responsibility to bring our children to the Lord in order to ensure they are given the opportunity to know Him from a young age. A  second is proper  teaching and  shepherding of vulnerable new believers  who are "spiritual children" This is not merely about routine, but about spiritual stewardship In the Gospel of Matthew 18:3–7, Jesus  speaks " And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. 6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the...

TIME IS SHORT

                                                                 Time is short   The rich man prepared to live for many years to come . He saved and built set up all his accounts , bought stocks and a new mansion , all his trips and his life's goals were planed out into the future. We all do this; we speak and plan as if we have all the time in the world. It is worst when we are young when 70 to 100 years seems like well " like a life time"  But the reality is it is a small moment of time.  God is eternal he had no beginning and no end. Jesus, part of the Trinity(God father ,Son and Holy Sprit),says in Revelation 22:13 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last." Everything else, every angel,demon , the universe, star, animal, rock, plant  and human have a begining an...

Jesus is your Security Blanket

                                  Jesus is your Security Blanket 1.  he calms the storms in your life  Matthew 8:23-27   23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! Matthew 14:22-32 22 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. 23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when even...

MOCKERY of Jesus

                                                                        MOCKERY of Jesus   As millions sat down to watch the opening ceremony of the 2024 WORLD Olympics games in Paris many were treated to a shocking event. The tolerant inclusive Olympics committee allowed a live performance of"ART"  were the last supper was reenacted by a host of drag queens and  performers mocking in glorious color and flamboyancy an ordinance of the church. Jesus said in Luke 22:19 "And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you." The fact that is was portrayed that way appeares to be a Pagan and ...

WHY THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS MATTERS”. Luke 24:13-27…

Sermon points 1. Sins are forgive. 2. Salvation is given. 3. Eternal life is granted.   Death is not the end all life. It is to be separated from the body We all will continue to exist!. We all are living in temporary housing.  Every Christian should think in terms of eternity. You are allowed to live to make the changes you need to make in your life.    The resurrection proves Jesus power over life and death.  It shows he is sinless and did not see corruption not even one bone was broken.  When it come to speaking and telling people about the resurrection do not argue.  Proclaim it and move on. We do not have to argue ; like if we do not win the arguement Jesus did not get up !!!! Proclaim the truth and the Holy Spirit watches over the WORD. We just spread the seed. There are types of chicken meals that you just put in the oven and forget it while it cooks. We set it and forget it, that is what we do;  Just proclaim and let God do the work...
