December 20th 2024 – Heed The Warning

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” (Matthew 24:42-44)

In our daily lives, we often find ourselves captivated by the warnings of the world. The weatherman’s alert about an impending storm sends us scurrying to stock up on supplies, secure our homes, and prepare for the worst. The urgency of his message is tangible; the threat is real. We understand the importance of being ready when nature’s fury approaches.

Yet, when the preacher stands before us, proclaiming that Jesus is coming again, the reaction is often starkly different. The urgency fades, and apathy may seep in. We may nod in agreement or listen politely, but how often do we truly prepare our hearts and lives for His return? The contrast is striking: one warning evokes immediate action, while the other is met with indifference.

In the Gospels, Jesus continually reminds us of His return. He urges us to be vigilant, to keep our lamps filled with oil (Matthew 25:1-13), and to live in a state of readiness. The call to prepare for His coming is not just a suggestion; it is a command. If we believe in the truth of His Word, we must recognize the gravity of His return.

As we reflect on this thought, let us ask ourselves: Are we as diligent in preparing our souls for Christ’s return as we are for a storm? Are we nurturing our faith, engaging in prayer, and actively seeking to live out His teachings? The time to prepare is now, not when the clouds gather or when the trumpet sounds.

As we embrace the truth of His coming, let us strive to live lives that reflect our anticipation and readiness. May we always be found faithful, awaiting our Savior with joy and hope.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, forgive us for the times we have taken Your return lightly. Help us to be vigilant and ready, living each day with purpose and faith. May we not only heed the warnings of this world but also embrace the truth of Your Word. Fill our hearts with urgency and passion for Your coming, that we may live in a way that honors You. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please consider the eternal consequences. Time is running out!

Salvation Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. I believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose again to give me new life. I turn from my sins and invite You, Jesus, into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Thank You for Your mercy and love. Help me to follow You all the days of my life. Amen.

December 13th 2024 – Navigating Relationships with Adult Children

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)

The dynamics between elderly parents and their adult children can often be quite intricate and challenging, particularly when issues such as substance abuse and disruptive behavior come into play. The Scriptures offer us valuable insights into familial responsibilities and the significance of mutual respect, yet they also urge us to exercise wisdom and discernment in our relationships.

In Proverbs 22:6, we are reminded of the pivotal role that parents have in guiding their children from a young age. This foundational influence is crucial, as instilling values and principles can have a lasting impact. However, as children transition into adulthood, they become accountable for their own decisions and actions. When adult children engage in harmful behaviors, it is essential for parents to take a step back and carefully assess the living arrangements and the effects on their own mental and emotional well-being.

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother’—which is the first commandment with a promise—’so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.'” (Ephesians 6:1-3)

Ephesians 6:1-3 articulates a divine directive for children to honor their parents. This honor is not merely about blind obedience but encompasses respect, care, and acknowledgment of the sacrifices made. If adult children are exhibiting toxic or abusive behaviors, the concept of honor may need to be reevaluated. Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries becomes crucial to ensure that love and respect flow in both directions, fostering a nurturing environment for all involved.

“Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” (1 Timothy 5:8)

Additionally, 1 Timothy 5:8 emphasizes the moral obligation to care for one’s family. While this primarily pertains to financial support, it also speaks to the emotional and spiritual responsibilities that come with such relationships. However, it is vital that providing this care does not come at the expense of one’s own mental and emotional health.

Consider taking some time to journal your thoughts and emotions regarding your interactions with your adult children. Reflect deeply on specific instances that have been particularly trying or hurtful, and invite God into those reflections. Pray for His guidance on how to approach these challenging situations with both love and wisdom. Additionally, consider seeking counsel from trusted friends, family members, or spiritual leaders who can provide support and insight as you navigate this difficult journey, ensuring that you are not alone in this process.

Parents must seek the Lord’s wisdom to discern how best to support their adult children while safeguarding their own well-being.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I approach You with a heart full of concerns about my relationship with my adult children. I seek Your wisdom and strength as I navigate these challenging waters. Grant me the discernment to know when to extend my support and when to establish healthy boundaries that protect my own heart and mind. Help me reflect Your love and grace in every interaction, and guide me in making choices that honor both You and my family. I trust in Your unfailing guidance and love as I strive to foster nurturing relationships. In Jesus’s name, Amen.

December 8th 2024 – The Gift of Patience

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” (James 1:2-4)

In our fast-paced world, patience can seem like a rare virtue. We live in an age of instant gratification, where waiting for anything—be it a response to a text, a promotion at work, or even answers to our prayers—can feel frustrating. However, Scripture teaches us that patience is not merely about waiting; it is about how we wait.

James encourages us to view trials and challenges as opportunities for growth. When we face difficulties, our faith is tested, and through this process, we develop perseverance. This perseverance is essential for spiritual maturity. It helps us rely on God, deepening our trust in His timing and His plans for our lives.

Think about areas in your life where you are struggling to be patient. Perhaps you are waiting for healing, a job opportunity, or restoration in a relationship. Instead of succumbing to frustration, consider how you can cultivate patience in these moments.

God’s timing is perfect, and He is working behind the scenes even when we cannot see it. Embrace the journey of waiting as a chance to grow closer to Him and to strengthen your character.

Take a few moments to reflect on a situation in your life that requires patience. Ask God to give you strength and wisdom to wait with grace and faith. Consider journaling your thoughts and feelings about this experience.

 Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the lessons learned through patience. Help me to trust in Your timing and to find joy even in the waiting. Teach me to lean on You during difficult times and to remember that every trial is an opportunity for growth. May Your peace fill my heart as I navigate the challenges before me. Amen.

If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, Don’t wait! In a flash of a second it could be too late!” Click Here to read Four Simple Steps to Jesus.

December 7th 2024 – Jesus First

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33)

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to let distractions pull us away from what truly matters. The demands of work, family, and social obligations can often take precedence over our relationship with Jesus. However, the call to make Jesus first in our lives is not merely a suggestion; it is a directive that leads to true fulfillment and peace.

Making Jesus first means prioritizing our time with Him above all else. It involves setting aside moments each day for prayer, worship, and reading His Word. When we intentionally create space for Jesus in our lives, we invite His presence into our thoughts and actions, transforming our hearts and guiding our decisions.

Below are some suggestions.

Personal Application:

1. Daily Quiet Time: Set aside a specific time each day for prayer and Bible reading. This can be early in the morning, during lunch, or before bed—whatever works best for you. Use this time to connect with Jesus and reflect on His teachings.

2. Prioritize Worship: Attend church services regularly and engage in worship through music, fellowship, and service. Surrounding yourself with other believers can strengthen your faith and encourage you to keep Jesus at the center.

3. Seek His Guidance: Before making decisions “big or small” take a moment to seek Jesus’ guidance through prayer. Ask for His wisdom and clarity, trusting that He knows what is best for you.

4. Live Out Your Faith: Let your actions reflect your commitment to Jesus. Share His love with others, serve those in need, and be a light in your community. When Jesus is first in your heart, His love naturally overflows into your interactions.

Making Jesus first is a daily commitment that requires intentionality. As you strive to prioritize Him in your life, remember that He is always with you, guiding and supporting you in every step of your journey.

Embrace the joy and peace that comes from putting Jesus at the center, knowing that everything else will fall into place.

Prayer: 

Heavenly Father, help me to put You first in every area of my life. Teach me to seek Your kingdom above all else and to trust that You will provide for my needs. May my heart be aligned with Yours, and may my actions reflect Your love. Strengthen my faith as I prioritize my relationship with You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

December 6th 2024 – The Gift of Salvation

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Salvation is one of the most profound gifts we receive as Christians. It is not merely a ticket to heaven; it is a transformative experience that reshapes our entire existence. At its core, salvation is about restoration—our relationship with God, ourselves, and others is renewed through the grace of Jesus Christ.

Imagine standing in a vast, beautiful garden that has been overrun with weeds. Salvation is the gardener who comes along, lovingly tending to the soil, pulling out the weeds, and nurturing the plants. In our lives, sin can act like those weeds, choking our growth and preventing us from experiencing the fullness of life that God desires for us. Through salvation, we are invited into a personal relationship with Jesus, who cleanses us from our sins and empowers us to live according to His will.

Salvation is available to everyone, regardless of past mistakes or current struggles. It is not earned by our actions or moral standing but is a gift freely given by God. Understanding this truth releases us from the burden of striving for perfection and allows us to embrace our identity as beloved children of God. With this identity comes purpose, hope, and a call to share the love we have received with others.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the incredible gift of salvation. Help me to grasp the depth of Your grace and the beauty of my identity in You. Teach me to walk in the newness of life, reflecting Your love and light in the world. May I never take for granted the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus, who made my salvation possible. Empower me to share this good news with others, so they too may experience the joy of being saved. Amen.

If you want to know more about asking Jesus into your life’ read below

Invitation to Accept Jesus:

Dear Friend,

Have you ever felt a longing for something more in your life? A desire for peace, purpose, and a love that surpasses all understanding? I want to invite you to consider a profound relationship with Jesus Christ, who stands at the door of your heart, ready to welcome you into His arms.

Jesus loves you deeply and desires to be a part of your life. He offers forgiveness for your past, hope for your future, and a promise of eternal life. You don’t have to clean yourself up first; you simply need to come as you are.

If you feel that gentle tug on your heart, I encourage you to take that step of faith and invite Jesus into your life. He is waiting for you with open arms, ready to transform your life in ways you never imagined.

Prayer to Accept Jesus:

If you’re ready to ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please pray this prayer:


Dear Jesus,

I come to You today acknowledging that I need You in my life. I recognize that I have sinned and fallen short of Your glory. I believe that You are the Son of God, that You died for my sins, and that You rose again to give me new life.

I ask for Your forgiveness and humbly invite You to be my Lord and Savior. Please come into my heart and fill me with Your love and grace. Help me to follow You and grow in my relationship with You every day.

If you prayed this prayer sincerely, know that you have taken an incredible step in your journey of faith. Reach out to someone who can help you grow in this new relationship, and remember that you are never alone in this walk with Jesus.

Thank You for accepting me just as I am and for the gift of salvation. I place my trust in You and commit my life to You.

In Your name, I pray, Amen.

November 25th 2024 – Beautifully Broken

After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before. All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring. (Job 42:10)

In the midst of our struggles and heartaches, we often find ourselves questioning our worth and purpose. We may feel shattered and lost, struggling to see how God can use our brokenness for His glory. Yet, it is in these very moments of vulnerability that we can encounter the profound grace of Jesus, who specializes in restoration.

The story of Job serves as a powerful reminder of this truth. Job experienced unimaginable suffering—loss of family, health, and wealth. His world was turned upside down, and in his deep despair, he asked God why. But through his trials, Job clung to his faith, and in the end, God restored him. Not only did He bless Job with double what he had before, but He also deepened Job’s understanding of His sovereignty and love.

Just as God restored Job, He desires to mend our broken pieces, transforming our pain into purpose. Jesus invites us to bring our brokenness to Him, to lay it at His feet. In Matthew 11:28, He says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” When we surrender our wounds to Him, He begins the beautiful process of healing and restoration.

Imagine a broken vase, its pieces scattered and seemingly useless. Yet, when placed in the hands of a skilled artisan, those fragments can be transformed into a stunning mosaic. Our lives, too, can become a masterpiece of God’s grace. He takes our shattered dreams and turns them into a beautiful testimony of His faithfulness.

“Remember, in Christ, we are beautifully broken, yet perfectly whole.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the reminder that my brokenness is not the end of my story, but a part of your perfect plan. In moments of pain and struggle, help me to trust in Your restoring love, knowing that You have a purpose for every tear I shed. Open my eyes to see the beauty in my scars, understanding that they are not marks of defeat but testimonies of Your grace and healing.

Lord, I ask that You guide me through this journey of restoration. Fill my heart with hope and remind me that Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. Teach me to embrace my vulnerabilities, knowing that they allow me to connect with others and share the hope I have found in You. May I be a vessel of Your love, reflecting Your light in a world that often feels dark and broken.

I pray for those around me who are also experiencing pain and hardship. Help me to extend the same grace and compassion to them that You have shown me. Use my story to encourage others, so they may also find comfort and healing in You.

As I walk this path, may I continually seek Your presence, trusting that You are with me every step of the way. Thank You for the promise that You will never leave me nor forsake me. I place my brokenness in Your hands, knowing that You can create something beautiful from every fragment of my life. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

“Beautifully Broken”

Are there past hurts, regrets, or disappointments weighing you down? Jesus is inviting you to trust in His restorative power. Allow Him to work in your heart, knowing that He can turn your scars into stories of hope.

November 20th 2024 – Coming Home to You

Please watch this first

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” (John 14:6)

The song “I’m Coming Home to You” beautifully encapsulates the journey each of us takes as we navigate through the complexities of life. In the first verse, we find ourselves wandering in the silence of the night, chasing after fleeting desires and earthly pursuits. This imagery resonates with our human experience—times when we feel lost or distant from God. Yet, the comforting reminder is that His love shines like an unwavering light, guiding us back home.

As we move into the chorus, we declare our intention to return home to God. This act of coming home signifies more than just physical location; it represents a spiritual return to the heart of our Creator. We acknowledge that true peace and release are found only in His embrace. It’s a recognition that, in the warmth of His love, our restless souls can finally find rest.

The second verse reminds us that even in our darkest valleys of doubt and fear, we are never truly alone. God’s gentle whisper calls to us, inviting us to lay down our burdens and seek solace in Him. It’s in these moments of surrender that we discover the depth of His grace, leading us back to our rightful place in His presence.

In the third verse, with the dawn of a new day, we are reminded of God’s unending grace and the fresh start it offers. How beautiful it is to envision Him welcoming us back with open arms, filling the voids that life may have created in our hearts. This image of restoration is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness.

Finally, final verses evokes a sense of commitment and belonging. No longer do we need to run or hide from our struggles; in His love, we find our true identity. His mercy flows abundantly, and in His presence, we discover our true home.

The journey of life often leads us to feelings of being lost or distant from God, but His unwavering love guides us back home. Return to God for the source of true peace and rest, even in times of doubt and fear. Remember that in God’s embrace, we can find our true identity and restoration.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my safe haven and guiding light. Help me to recognize when I’ve wandered away and give me the courage to return to You. May I find peace in Your arms and grace in Your presence. Let me always remember that I am coming home to You, where my heart finds rest and my soul is renewed. In Jesus’ Holy name, Amen.

Spend a few moments in silence, reflecting on your journey to God. Are there areas where you feel distant? Invite Him to draw you closer, knowing that He is always waiting with open arms.

If you do not know Jesus personally, I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here

November 18th 2024 – Embracing Divine Healing Through Christ

“But He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds, we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

“Is anyone among you suffering from illness? Let them summon the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer offered in faith will restore the sick, and the Lord will raise them up.” (James 5:14-15)

Throughout the Bible, healing serves as a profound theme that encompasses both physical ailments and the afflictions of the spirit. The ministry of Jesus was characterized by His compassionate acts of healing towards the sick, the blind, and those burdened by suffering. He not only restored their physical health but also offered forgiveness, comfort, and peace to their souls.

As you read these scriptures, take a moment to identify the areas of your life that are in need of healing. This may include physical illnesses, emotional struggles, or spiritual distress. God invites us all to cast our burdens upon Him, trusting in His divine plan for our restoration and well-being.

Allow yourself to be still and attuned to God’s presence. Imagine the gentle, healing touch of Jesus wrapping around you like a warm embrace. Contemplate His promises and the profound peace that comes from the knowledge that He deeply cares for your every need.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, through prayer and supplication, along with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will protect your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)

“Always remember that healing is not merely a destination but a journey filled with faith and trust. Embrace the process and rely on God’s perfect timing, continually seeking His presence and divine guidance with each step you take.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with the burdens of my struggles and the weight of my ailments. You are the Great Healer, the Comforter of souls, and the Restorer of joy. Touch my body with Your healing hand, soothe my spirit with Your gentle love, and renew my heart with the hope only You can give.

Teach me, Lord, to trust in Your unfailing goodness, even in the midst of trials. Open my eyes to see Your presence in every moment of my life, and remind me that I am never alone. Let Your peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding, guard my heart and mind and lead me closer to You each day. In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, Give yourself the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here

November 17th 2024 – Open Our Eyes to Truth

“Jesus said, ‘For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.’ Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, ‘What? Are we blind too?’ Jesus said, ‘If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.” (John 9:39-41)

Spiritual blindness is a profound condition that many individuals experience, often without being aware of its presence. It signifies an inability to grasp essential spiritual truths and to recognize the active work of God in our lives. In the passage from the Gospel of John, Jesus addresses the Pharisees, who were self-assured in their understanding of the Scriptures yet remained oblivious to their spiritual shortcomings. Their extensive knowledge did not equate to a genuine comprehension of God’s heart and intentions.

When we become overly confident in our ability to see and understand, we risk falling into complacency, relying solely on our own insights and experiences rather than earnestly seeking God’s guidance. This arrogance can lead to a form of spiritual blindness, where we fail to perceive the richness of God’s grace and the depths of His mercy.

The challenge lies in acknowledging that spiritual insight does not come from human wisdom alone; it is a gift from God. The more we claim to possess clarity, the more we must examine whether we are truly in touch with divine truth or merely living in the shadows of our presumption.

Take a few moments of quiet reflection, inviting God to reveal to you any areas of your life where you may be experiencing spiritual blindness. Consider how you can actively seek His wisdom and guidance in your journey, fostering an openness to the transformative truths He wishes to unveil.

“When we rely on our own wisdom, we risk pride and spiritual blindness, missing the depth of God’s grace and mercy.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You seeking illumination for my soul. Open my eyes to the areas of my life where I may be spiritually blind. Grant me the discernment to recognize the powerful truths embedded in Your Word, and help me to sense Your presence in every aspect of my daily life. Instill in me a humble heart that acknowledges my need for Your wisdom, and the grace to pursue a deeper understanding of Your ways. May I never reach a point of self-assuredness that blinds me to the beautiful revelations You desire to share with me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, Give yourself the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here

November 15th 2024- Finding Hope in Grief

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)

Grief is a deeply personal journey, one that can feel overwhelming and isolating. When we lose someone we love, it’s natural to experience a range of emotions – sadness, anger, confusion, and even relief. In these moments, it’s essential to remember that God is near to us, especially when our hearts are broken.

Jesus Himself experienced grief, as seen in John 11:35, where He wept at the death of His friend Lazarus. It’s a powerful reminder that grief is not a sign of weakness but a testament to the love we shared with those we’ve lost.

Action Steps:

1. Acknowledge Your Feelings:

Take time to be honest with yourself about your emotions. Write them down in a journal or express them through prayer.

2. Reach Out:

Don’t hesitate to talk to friends, family, or a spiritual leader. Sharing your feelings can lighten the burden and bring support.

 3. Create a Memory Ritual:

Consider creating a special ritual to honor your loved one. This could be lighting a candle, planting a tree, or simply spending time reflecting on the happy memories you shared.

 4. Seek Comfort in Scripture:

Spend time reading passages that speak to God’s love and comfort. Psalms and the Gospels are filled with encouragement for those who mourn.

 5. Be Patient with Yourself:

Grief doesn’t have a timeline. Allow yourself the grace to heal at your own pace.

 As you walk through your grief, remember that God is your refuge. He understands your pain and is there to carry you through the darkest days. Trust in His promise that one day, all tears will be wiped away, and we will be reunited with our loved ones in His eternal presence.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, in my sorrow, I turn to You for comfort and healing. Help me to navigate this painful time with Your grace. Remind me that it’s okay to grieve and that I am not alone in my suffering. May Your presence bring me peace, and may I find hope in the promise of eternal life through Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Do you have a personal relationship with Him? That is the ultimate decision you will have to make. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves you and wants to help you.
