THE HUMANITY OF JESUS

September 27, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE HUMANITY OF JESUS

Whenever mortal sinners like you and me approach the subject of the Incarnation of Christ, we are warned to “take off your shoes from your feet for the ground in which you are standing is holy ground.” We would do well to take heed! Let all remember that “spiritual things can only be discerned spiritually.” The carnal mind disqualifies itself “for it is at enmity against God’s law.”

Now, please read Hebrews 2: 5-8 first. Then consider these:

“Christ is presented here as being ‘lower than the angels,’ though ‘crowned with glory and honor.’ He is shown to be VERY MAN, as truly as in the first chapter He is shown to be VERY GOD. His humanity enables Him to be the kind of High Priest [merciful and all-powerful Intercessor, Mediator, Advocate] men need.

THIS TIME, NO MORE TIME EXCUSES REMAIN

April 6, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THIS TIME, NO MORE TIME EXCUSES REMAIN. 

“Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast Thou made all men in vain? Ps. 89:47. “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Ps. 90:12, KJV.

God gives, and takes away but only for our benefit and His glory. This corona virus is taking away a lot but is also “giving back,” depending on how you view it spiritually.

Many who have pleaded the excuse that they “just had no time” in their madhouse daily routine to study God’s Word briefly, much less in depth, just saw “Mr. Excuse” walk out of the door, slammed it shut, leaving them inside their homes alone with a long-ignored VIP guest named “Mr. Time.”

The Waiting, Watching and Working saints of God in the last days!

February 19 2020

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

The Waiting, Watching and Working saints of God in the last days!

These are those who can read and prepare for the real future, as only revealed “unto the law and testimony”(Isa. 8:20).

Notice:  “Everything in the world is in agitation. The signs of the times are ominous. Coming events cast their shadow before. The Spirit of God is withdrawing from the earth, and calamity follows by land and sea. There are tempests, earthquakes, floods, murders of every grade. Who can read the future? Where is security? There is assurance in NOTHING that is human or earthly.

HOW PILGRIMS PLAN FOR THE FUTURE

January 13 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

HOW PILGRIMS PLAN FOR THE FUTURE.

“By faith Abraham when he was called to go out to a place which he should afterward receive as an inheritance, went out not knowing where he was going.” Heb. 11:8.

“Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims. abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles (unbelievers) that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.” 1 Pet. 2:11,12 NKJV.

— “Many are unable to make definite plans for the future. Their life is unsettled. They cannot discern the outcome of affairs, and this often fills them with anxiety and unrest. Let us remember that the life of God’s children in this world is a pilgrim life.
