“And the seed that fell on good soil represents those who hear and accept God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!” (Mark 4:20)

A Psalmist wrote in the Bible, “He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.” For someone who has been in the pit of despair and in the mud and the mire, I stand on the other side praising God for all that He has donein my life. Isn’t that what following God is all about? Not the mud and the mire, not the pit of despair; but God being faithful to save us.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” (Psalms 34:18)

We all go through seasons in life that sometimes punch us in the gut and take the breath right out of us. Maybe it’s a terminal illness, the death of a spouse or family member. Possibly a child abusing drugs, talks of divorce or even the loss of a job. One thing we can rest assured about, God will get us through. Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you.

Spend time in the Bible, praying and seeking the Lord. Don’t allow your troubles to determine the fruit God wants to produce in your life. When you are feeling down bless someone by helping them. Take a walk and spend time talking to God. The best remedy for despair and pain is to bless someone else. Remember, we plant the seed, someone else will come along and water it, and God will give the increase. The promise from Him is thirty, sixty, and some a hundred-fold fruit in our lives.

“There is no mistake that God can’t fix. There is no pit that God can’t pull you out of.”

“God can take what is broken and restore it into something beautiful!”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your promises. I am grateful that at times in my life You have fixed my mistakes. I am grateful that You have pulled me out of the mud and the mire at times in my life. Please help me in these desperate times Lord. Cast out all fear, cast out all doubt in my life. Heal me of my brokenness. Help me to also sow seeds into others lives and be a part of helping build Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen..

December 25th 2024 – A Star In The Night

Leave a reply

“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)

As we gather around the Christmas season, we are reminded of the incredible gift given to us: the birth of Jesus Christ. The song “A Star in the Night” beautifully captures the essence of this miraculous event and the profound significance it holds for each of us.

In the stillness of that holy night, God chose to enter our world as a humble Child. The lyrics remind us that amidst the chaos and noise of life, the light of Christ shines brightly, offering hope and peace to our weary hearts. Just as the shepherds were called to witness this miraculous moment, we too are invited to draw near to the light and embrace the joy that comes from knowing Him.

This Christmas, let us lift our voices in celebration, just as the angels did. Let us be reminded that in the birth of Jesus, we find our story of redemption and grace. In every gathering, every carol sung, and every moment shared, may we point others to the true meaning of Christmas—the love of Christ that transforms our lives and the world around us.

As you celebrate this season, remember that each day is an opportunity to carry the light of Christ into the world, inviting others to experience the joy and peace that comes from knowing Him.

Prayer:

Dear Lord, thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus, who was born to bring us hope, love, and peace. As we reflect on His birth, help us to remember the true meaning of Christmas. May we share the light of Christ with those around us, just as the star guided the wise men to the manger. Fill our hearts with joy and our lives with Your love. Amen.

Dear Friends and Family,

As we gather to celebrate this joyous season, we would like to extend our warmest Christmas blessings to each of you. May your hearts be filled with the peace and joy that the birth of our Savior brings.

In this time of reflection and gratitude, let us remember the true meaning of Christmas, the love and hope that Jesus embodies. May your homes be filled with laughter, love, and the warmth of family, and may you find comfort in the blessings of the season.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a New Year overflowing with grace and joy!

With love,

December 20th 2024 – Heed The Warning

Leave a reply

“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.

If you accepted Jesus or have any questions or concerns you would like help with, please let us know. We’re here to help you understand the love that Jesus is offering you for free, no matter who or where you are.

December 11th 2024 – One True King

Leave a reply

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore.”  (Isaiah 9:6-7)

In a world that often seems chaotic and uncertain, we can find great comfort and security in knowing that there is One who reigns supreme. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the one true King whose kingdom will never end.

Though earthly kings and rulers may come and go, Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords. His throne is established forever, and His dominion knows no bounds. From the beginning of time, He has been sovereign over all creation, and one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord.

As the true and rightful King, Jesus is worthy of our complete devotion and allegiance. He did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. Though He is exalted high above all, He humbled Himself to walk among us, to understand our struggles, and to offer us the gift of eternal life.

In Jesus, we find a King who is perfectly just and righteous, yet also compassionate and merciful. He rules with wisdom, grace and love. No earthly king can compare to the majesty, power and glory of our King, Jesus Christ.

“In the midst of the uncertainties and challenges we face in this world, let us fix our eyes on the One True King who reigns supreme. He is our solid foundation, our refuge and strength. Place your trust in Him, for His kingdom will have no end.“

Prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus, our One True King, We come before You today, humbly acknowledging Your sovereign reign over all creation. You alone are worthy of our worship and devotion, for You are the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Jesus, we praise You for the majesty, power and glory that is rightfully Yours. Yet, we are in awe that though You are exalted high above all, You humbled Yourself to walk among us. You understand our struggles and offer us the gift of eternal life. Be our solid foundation, our refuge and strength. We trust in Your wisdom, grace and love to guide and sustain us.

Help us, Your people, to keep our eyes fixed firmly on You, the One True King. May we be quick to pledge our complete allegiance to You, for You alone are perfectly just and righteous, yet also compassionate and merciful. Reign in our hearts and lives. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

October 30th 2024 – You Are My Anchor

Leave a reply

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”  (Hebrews 6:19)

As the waves of life crash around us, we often find ourselves in tumultuous seas. The uncertainties of tomorrow can feel overwhelming, and the weight of our struggles can pull us under.

Life can often feel like a turbulent sea, tossing us about with waves of uncertainty, fear, and doubt. In these moments, it is easy to feel adrift and lost, struggling to find our footing. However, as believers, we are reminded of the profound truth found in Hebrews 6:19: “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”

Imagine a ship in the midst of a raging storm. The waves crash against it, and the winds howl ferociously. Yet, despite the chaos around it, the ship remains steadfast, held fast by its anchor. This is the hope we have in Christ—a hope that is not just wishful thinking but a firm assurance that He is with us, guiding us through the storms of life.

When we face challenges, we are encouraged to cast our hopes and fears onto Him. In prayer, we can release our burdens, trusting that He knows our struggles and will provide the strength we need to endure. Just as an anchor secures a ship, so too does our faith in Jesus stabilize us amidst life’s tempests.

In moments of doubt and fear, let us cling tightly to the hope we have in Him. He is our anchor—firm and secure—holding us steady when everything else feels uncertain.

As you navigate your journey, may the truth of this devotion remind you that in every circumstance, you can find stability and peace in the love of Christ. He is, indeed, your anchor.

“It is vital to remember that we have an anchor—Jesus Christ, who holds us steady amidst the storms.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a grateful heart, acknowledging Your unwavering presence in my life. Thank You for being my anchor in the storms that rage around me. When the winds howl and the waves crash, I find solace in knowing that You are my steadfast support, grounding me in Your love and grace.

In moments of uncertainty and fear, help me to trust in Your promises. Remind me that Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path, guiding me through the darkest valleys. Teach me to cling to the hope that You provide, even when my circumstances seem overwhelming. May I find peace in Your presence, knowing that You are always with me, watching over me with a love that knows no bounds.

As I face the trials and tribulations of life, help me to remember that no storm is too great for You to handle. You are the Creator of the universe, and nothing is beyond Your power. I pray for the strength to surrender my worries and fears to You, trusting that You are working all things for my good. May I lean into Your embrace, allowing Your peace to wash over me like a gentle tide, calming my anxious heart.

Lord, I also pray for those around me who may be struggling in their own storms. Use me as a vessel of Your love and encouragement, so that I can share the hope I have found in You. Help me to be a source of strength and support to others, reminding them that they too can find refuge in Your arms.

Thank You for the promise of Your presence, which brings comfort and reassurance. May I always remember that no matter how fierce the storm may be, You are with me, guiding and supporting me through every trial. I place my trust in You, knowing that You are my anchor—firm and secure. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Please listen to an original song I recently wrote called “You Are My Anchor”

October 24th 2024 – Anchored in Hope

Leave a reply

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” (Hebrews 6:19)

In the tumultuous seas of life, where waves of uncertainty and storms of despair threaten to overwhelm us, our faith serves as a steadfast anchor. The writer of Hebrews reminds us that hope is not just a fleeting feeling; it is the very anchor of our soul. This hope is rooted in the promises of God, who is unchanging and faithful.

 As we navigate through challenges, we often find ourselves searching for stability. In moments of doubt, it’s easy to feel adrift, but God invites us to cast our burdens upon Him. He assures us that no matter the storm, His love and grace are sufficient to keep us secure.

 Reflect on the times when God has been your anchor. Perhaps it was during a time of loss, a difficult decision, or a season of waiting. In those moments, His presence provided peace that surpassed understanding.

“May we be reminded daily that with God as our anchor, we can face any storm with hope, courage, and faith.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my anchor in the storms of life. Help me to trust in Your promises and to hold onto the hope that is found in You alone. May I always remember that no matter how fierce the winds may blow, I am safe in Your arms. Strengthen my faith, and let my hope shine brightly for others to see. In your glorious name, Amen.

October 21st 2024 – The Wisdom of Jesus’ Parables

Leave a reply

“Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: ‘I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.'” (Matthew 13:34-35)

The parables of Jesus are more than just simple stories; they are profound lessons wrapped in relatable narratives, designed to unveil the mysteries of the Kingdom of God. Each parable invites us to look deeper, to uncover layers of meaning that challenge our understanding and inspire our faith.

Consider the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). This story teaches us that love knows no boundaries. The Samaritan, a figure despised by many in Jewish society, demonstrates that true compassion transcends cultural and social divides. Jesus invites us to examine our own hearts: Who do we consider our neighbor? Are we willing to extend love and grace to those who are different from us?

In the Parable of the Lost Sheep (Luke 15:1-7), we see the heart of God as a loving shepherd, willing to leave the ninety-nine to find the one lost sheep. This illustrates the immense value God places on each of us. It reminds us that no matter how far we stray, we are never beyond the reach of His love. Jesus encourages us to embrace our identity as beloved children of God, cherished and sought after.

The Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-23) challenges us to reflect on the condition of our hearts and our receptivity to God’s Word. Are we like the path, where the seed cannot take root? Or are we like the good soil, ready to nurture the seeds of faith that will bear fruit in our lives? This parable calls us to action, urging us to cultivate an environment where God’s truth can flourish.

“Which parable resonates with you today? What is God revealing to you through these stories? Allow the truths of His Word to transform your heart and inspire your actions.“

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your parables, which reveal Your truth and love in profound ways. Help us to be attentive to the lessons they teach. May we have hearts that are open and receptive, ready to embrace Your Word and share it with others. Give us the courage to love our neighbors as You have called us to do, regardless of their background or beliefs. Help us to see each person through Your eyes, and to be instruments of Your grace in the world. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

October 18th 2024 –  Faith and Trust in Troubled Times

Leave a reply

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)

In these troubled times, when uncertainty clouds our days and fear seems to shadow our hearts, we are reminded of the unshakable truth: God is our refuge and strength. When everything around us feels unstable, God remains the firm foundation on which we can stand. He is not distant or disconnected from our struggles; He is an ever-present help in the midst of them.

Faith is not just a feeling; it is a choice to trust in God, even when circumstances seem overwhelming. It’s easy to have faith when life is smooth, but true trust is forged in the fires of hardship. In these moments, when we can’t see the way forward, God calls us to lean not on our own understanding, but to trust in Him with all our hearts (Proverbs 3:5).

Our world may be full of challenges—sickness, division, loss, and fear—but God’s promises remain constant. He has not abandoned us. In fact, it is in the storm that we often feel His presence most powerfully. Like the disciples on the boat in the raging sea, we too can call on Jesus, knowing that He has the power to calm the storm. And even if the storm doesn’t stop right away, He walks with us through it.

The Lord invites us to lay down our burdens at His feet. Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). This is not just a promise for some distant future—it is a promise for today. When we trust in Him, we find peace that transcends all understanding, a peace that anchors our souls in the midst of chaos.

It’s in these times that we are reminded of God’s sovereignty. He is in control, even when the world seems out of control. His ways are higher than our ways, and His plans for us are good. We may not understand everything that is happening, but we can rest in the assurance that God is working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28).

“What are the burdens and fears you need to lay at the feet of Jesus today? How can you remind yourself to trust in God’s goodness, even when you can’t see the way forward?”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, in these troubled times, help me to trust You more deeply. I know that You are my refuge and strength, and I choose to place my faith in You, even when the path ahead seems uncertain. Give me peace, Lord, and help me to rest in Your promises. Guide me with Your loving hand and remind me that You are always near. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

In the face of uncertainty, trust in God. He is with you, always faithful, and His love never fails.

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. Jesus loves us and wants to help us through the storms and struggles in life. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior please click here 4 Simple Steps to Jesus

January 12th 2024 – But, God

Leave a reply

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),” Ephesians 2:4-5

Two of the most important words in the entire Bible are “But God.” You and I were dead in our sins and trespasses… but God.rescued us.

Linda was an alcoholic and Steve was a heroin addict… but God… Charles was dying, but God… healed him.  The world needs to hear these words… but God. When I read local and world news, it becomes evident that this world is a complete mess… but God.

“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:3-4

We have to step out of our comfort zones and tell people one on one about Jesus. We have to get Bibles into the hands of those who don’t have them or who have never even seen one. We have to show the love of Jesus by bringing the Good News to those who have lost hope, to those who are living in the mess that has been made of this world. What mess have you made? God is in the business of fixing messes. God will break through the situation if you’ll allow Him. Maybe you know this. Too often we keep this to ourselves when we should be telling others.

“God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father Thank You for sending Your only Son to die for my sins. Please forgive me for times when I have selfishly kept the light of the Gospel to myself and please give me the courage and desire to tell others about the reason for my hope, which is Jesus. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

December 18th 2023 – Making Room For Jesus

Leave a reply

And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” (Luke 2:7)

It is the season where we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ; when God became Man. His reception was not a glorious one by any standard. Our Lord and Savior, the Creator of the universe, was born in a barn and lain in a feeding trough because there was no room for Him in the inn. Before we judge the people of that day for not making room for Him, ask yourself, are you making room for Him? Are you making time to spend with Him, time for fellowship with others who know Him, to worship Him and to learn of Him from the bible? Or is there a sign written on your heart and life that says ‘no room’. My prayer for you in the busyness of this Christmas season and in the coming year is that you would make room for Him in your life and in your heart.

“Each of us is an innkeeper who decides if there is room for Jesus..”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for loving us so much that You would come as one of us, not in ritual and splendor even though You could have, but You came in simplicity and humility. Lord, if there is any way that I have failed to make room for You in my heart and life, I ask You to forgive me and to show me. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Invitation:

Salvation is a gift from God that will enable you to spend eternity in Heaven. To receive this gift, you need to accept Christ into your life by confessing with your mouth,  a prayer of salvation. You must also repent and turn away from your sins and begin living a life that is pleasing to God. If you feel you have done too many bad things for God to forgive you, you are wrong. Jesus died a brutal death on the cross for the sins of all mankind.

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

Whether you are old or young, rich or poor, a liar, a thief, an adulterer, a murder and so on, if you truly repent with a sincere heart and accept Jesus, YOU WILL BE SAVED…. Say a Prayer of Salvation & Ask Jesus Into Your Heart Now!

“Heavenly Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
