Everyday the devil moves around like a roaring lion trying to get us to rebel against God.  I hope that you & I can stand firm and put all our trust in the Lord and not let the Lion (so to speak the devil) devour our hearts.  I hope that in this sinful world that the evil which is there will depart from us and that we can join with God and put our faith, souls, and hearts, love, and life in His hands and walk not in darkness but abide in the light.  I hope that we can follow the Lord and keep our faith strong, even in those days when the temptation of the devil is stronger than ever.  Let us remain strong in faith, and give glory to God Almighty for as it is written it is he that has made us and not we ourselves. God is wonderful and full of power to overcome satan. Amen

God gives gifts to His people such as the Gift of the Holy Ghost to those who believe (as seen in Acts 2:38). Through faith we are also given Eternal Life. “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. John 17:3).” “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Romans 12:6.” So some are able to give prophecy, but there are other gifts such as teaching, preaching, and whatever other gifts God has given us such as the ability to do a certain career or a desire to preach to the lost may also be our gift. May we all find our gifts and trust in Him. Amen

It is essential that we walk as Abraham did which is by faith for, ” Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.”. It is important that we walk with God in faith and know that there is nothing we have done or will do that will merit salvation. Salvation is a free gift given by the sovereign God to all those who trust and put their faith in Jesus. Salvation is given to us because of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and it is only through Him that we can be saved. May we all walk with Him and trust in Him daily. Amen.

We should have equal concern for each other. Christians are part of the body of Christ and individual members of it. This truth is because two are better than one we are called to be connected in community with one another. Christ calls us to seek and look out for those new and lonely intently inviting them into the community. Each part of the body of Christ is important, community. I hope we will all look to God for strength and grow as believers. Amen

We should not go alone, some people look to be a hero and defeat the struggles on their own. Jesus means, “God with Us”. So we need to desire more of God and know He is with us. We need to have the courage and desire to seek community. Brene Brown “Scarcity thrives in a culture where everyone is hyper aware of lack. Everything from safety and life to money and resources..” Let us all seek to be with fellow believers and walk daily with Jesus. Amen

We see the wrath of God often shown in the Old Testament. Now we must ask ourselves, is the God of the New Testament and Old Testament the same? The answer is yes, God’s wrath is still “being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness” (Romans 1:18).” At the very heart of this doctrine is that, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8”. Since God is the same every day and even for eternity we can rest assured that God does not change. God’s love is shown both in the Old Testament and New Testament not just His wrath. “And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Exodus 20:6″”. Even though God remains the same and shows the same grace, repentance is important in our faith. We learn that, “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent: Acts 17:30”. So God often winked at sin but now desires for us to have a relationship with Him. However, we do know that God’s grace is 100% a result of faith. Amen

Some people might say why do good?  But I say why do bad?  And they would say I do not know.  What good will happen to your spirit and your soul if you do evil things?  We know that if we accept Jesus as our personal Savior and Lord and do good things that you can receive many gifts from God.  God’s gifts will last forever but if you earn gifts on earth moths and dust can ruin those things.  So trust in your Lord Jesus Christ and obey His commandments so that you may live in Heaven in harmony with the great gift in which God has given you. Amen

Everyday we live we should live in Christ and be dead to sin but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. You know Him that loves us is not willing that any one not be saved, but He wants us all to be saved through the blood of Jesus Christ who has died for our sins but was risen by God that through His blood we might all be saved. Amen

Reading the Bible we know that God will not forget the good things we have done because of our love for Him.  We know that God will remember our good works and will reward us in Heaven for them.  I am thankful that God will forgive our sins.  I am thankful that Jesus Christ was crucified for us.  I thank God every day in my heart for His forgiveness, love, faithfulness, mercy and truth and also for sacrificing His only son Jesus Christ for our sins.  If God is our neighbor do we love Him?  We know that He loves us.  I am sure that this is why Jesus said the greatest of all these commandments is to love one another.  Love is shown in truth and in faithfulness, love is not envious or greedy, love is shown in action and not in words.  All this comes down to loving one another. God’s love was shown in truth and in actions, and by His mercy and His faithfulness and grace towards us.  The point of this message was to prove that God is faithful and that God loves us.  The other point of this message was to prove that Jesus is the truth and the life and He will set you free. Amen

I hope that grace and peace will be to everyone who is in Christ.  I also hope that your faith will not be destroyed through foolishness.  I hope that you will listen to God’s instructions and obey them.  Because only fools despise wisdom and instruction.  I also hope that we all fear God for the fear of God is the beginning of knowledge.  I hope that through God’s Word many nations might be saved.  I am thankful for everything in which God created, but I despise what evil people have done to them. God is love, grace and peace. Amen
