OUR INDIVIDUAL STANDING BEFORE GOD

July 26, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

OUR INDIVIDUAL STANDING BEFORE GOD

“And He said to them, you will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal Yourself!’ Whatever we have heard in Capernaum, do also here in Your country. Then He said, ‘Assuredly [verily, verily, KJV], I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his country.’”

Luke 4: 23,24, NKJV. (Read verses 16-30).

Then He added, “But of a truth I say unto you, There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine over all the land; and to none of them was Elijah sent, but ONLY to Zarepath, in the land of Sidon, unto a WOMAN WHO WAS A WIDOW. And there were MANY LEPERS IN ISRAEL in the time of Elisha the prophet; and NONE of them was cleansed, BUT only Naaman, the Syrian.” Luke 4:23-27, R.V.”

“By this revelation of events in the lives of the PROPHETS, Jesus met the questionings of His hearers. The servants whom God had chosen for a special work were not allowed to labor for a HARDHEARTED and UNBELIEVING people.”

Feb 26 2020
MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR UNCLE NAT’S DESK:

ONLY SAFETY: LIVE LIKE A WATCHMAN!

“Praying always, with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” Eph. 6:18, KJV. 

“Praying and watching there unto are necessary for advancement in the divine life. Your only safety is to live like a watchman. Watch and pray always. Oh, what a preventive against yielding to temptation and falling into the snares of the world! WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR: Mark 13:33. First you are to watch. WATCH lest you speak hastily, fretfully and impatiently.

PRAYING FOR THE SERIOUSLY SICK OR TERMINALLY ILL

December 9, 2019

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

PRAYING FOR THE SERIOUSLY SICK OR TERMINALLY ILL.

“The Scriptures says that ‘men ought to pray; and not to faint.’(Luke 18:1); and if ever there is a time when they feel their need of prayer, it is when strength fails and life itself seems slipping from their grasp. Often those who are in health forget the wonderful mercies continued to them day by day, year after year, and they render not tribute if praise to God for His benefits. But when sickness comes, God is remembered.

The Beginning and the End: The Old and the New  

FRIDAY MORNING MANNA

The Beginning and the End: The Old and the New  

         Then He who sat on a throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me, Write for these words are true and faithful. And He said to me, It is done! I Am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.” Rev. 21 5-7, N.K.J.V. 

All too quickly the old year ends in two days from this last Friday of 2017, and the New Year 2018 begins. Like sunset, then sunrise…..and a new day begins in your life and mine. Or are we meeting, actually beginning the New Year with the “same old, same old” mentality, bad habits, unChristlike traits, pride and vanity, “the works of the flesh” instead of the “fruits of the spirit,” into the next year? Will it be really new? In what sense?
