Good Morning,

God sent Jesus that the world, through Him, might be saved (John 3.17).  And He gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. (Galatians 1.4)  This same Jesus, who has all authority in heaven and on earth, has commanded us to go and make disciples of every nation, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things which He has commanded us.  The world needs to know the life saving gospel of Jesus the Christ, which clearly teaches that, YES Christ still receives sinful man.

Greetings Friends, and Brethren,

Have you said or done things in life that afterwards you wish you could turn back time and undo them?  Probably all of us have said or done things that have hurt others, especially someone we love.  I know I have, and would like to go back and have a conversation again or somehow be able to erase the wrong I done to someone.  I wonder if David wished he could change his past when Nathan confronted him with adultery with Bathsheba.  Then there was Peter when he denied Christ three times and Jesus looked on him.  I'm pretty sure He would have liked to retrieve his words. 

Well, like them ,we cannot turn back the pages of time and undo our doings.  But if we repent of our wrongs as David and Peter did, our God, who is a God of new beginnings can and will.  Paul in 2 Corinthians 5.17 told the Corinthian church, and us, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new." and in Galatians 6.15 the Spirit led him write, "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation." So, friends if you seriously want to undo your past doings, you must in faithful obedience repent of them.  "For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death."  To have your sins washed away by the blood of Jesus, you must believe, repent, confess and be baptized, buried with Christ into His death and resurrected to walk in newness of life - Romans 6.  Jesus said in Revelation 22. 16-17, "I, Jesus have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the of the Offspring of David, the bright and morning star."  And the Spirit and the bride say come!  And let him who hears say, come!  And let him who thirsts come.  Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. 

Are you ready?

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

Having been buried with Christ Jesus through baptism into death, just as He was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we also should walk in newness of life.  We now belong to Him and those who are His have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  No longer do we let sin reign in our mortal bodies that we should obey its lusts, but now present ourselves to God as being alive from the dead and our members as instruments of righteousness to God.  In this new life we now live in His truth and strive to please Him in all we do, that we may walk worthy of the Lord fully pleasing Him.  Out of our pure love for Christ we are committed to obey His commandments.  Live for Jesus, give Him all you have to give, for if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him and if we endure we shall also reign with Him.  But if we deny Him, He will also deny us.

Romans 6.3-4;Galatians 5.24; Romans 6.12-13; Colossians 1.10; John 14.15; 2 Timothy 2.11-12.

Greetings Friends,

The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,  But to us who are being saved, it is the power of God - 1 Corinthians 1.18.  In His letter to Rome, Paul wrote: I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes - Romans 1.16.  The message of the cross is the precious story of Jesus.  It tells how He was tempted, but triumphant.  He was sinless but labored to save the world from its sins.  Yet, He was despised, afflicted, tortured, rejected, mocked and finally put to death, nailed to a cross, suspended between heaven and earth with two criminals, buried in a borrowed tomb paying the price for our sins.  But our Heavenly Father resurrected Him and He overcame death. Now through Him all who believe, repent and obey can have forgiveness of sins and hope of eternal life.

Father, this morning we pray for the lost who are perishing, that they might receive the good news of the message of the cross; the gospel of Jesus and would see the error of their ways that their hearts be softened and convict them so they would repent, confess and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of their sins.  Father, help us who are being saved by Your power to tell the good news of the gospel to all who might cross our paths today. May we ever be faithful to You and Your word. 

In Jesus name, AMEN.

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

Calvary is the place where Jesus was crucified with 2 criminals; one on His right hand and one on the left.  It is also the place where Jesus demonstrated His greatest compassion on those who murdered Him, when He said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."  Leave your old life of sin at Calvary with Jesus and don't look back.  Put on a new life with Jesus, who forgives repented sins.

Father, we thank You for the love and mercy You have shown us by sacrificing Your beloved Son, Jesus the Christ, on that cross at Calvary.  We know that without His death there would be no forgiveness for sin and no hope for eternal life with You.  Help us Lord, to never forget. In Jesus Name we pray, AMEN
