November 16th 2024 – Our Call To Share The Gospel

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

The act of sharing the Gospel is not merely a suggestion but a profound command issued by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. As believers, we are entrusted with the sacred responsibility of being His representatives on earth, tasked with the mission of proclaiming the joyful news of salvation to everyone we meet. This divine calling may sometimes feel overwhelming, yet we find comfort in the assurance that we are never alone in this endeavor. Jesus promises His continuous presence and support, equipping us through the Holy Spirit to convey His love and truth effectively.

Take a moment to reflect on the individuals who cross your path daily—friends, family members, coworkers, or even acquaintances you encounter. Each interaction presents a unique opportunity to demonstrate Christ’s love and grace.

In the coming week, dedicate time to pray specifically for opportunities to share your faith with someone significant in your life. This may involve inviting them to join you at church, sharing your personal testimony of how Christ has impacted your life, or engaging them in a heartfelt conversation about what Jesus means to you. Remember, each small gesture of sharing can lead to profound changes in the hearts of those around you, potentially guiding them toward a deeper relationship with Christ.

Sharing the Gospel does not always require some type of formal setting or a sermon; often, it unfolds in the context of genuine conversations, small acts of kindness, and the authentic expression of our faith in everyday life.”

Prayer: 

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the immeasurable gift of the Gospel, which transforms lives and brings hope. I ask for Your guidance as I seek to be a bold and loving messenger of this good news. Grant me the wisdom to articulate my faith and the courage to step beyond my comfort zone. May my actions and words reflect Your love, drawing others closer to Your heart. In jesus’ holy 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.

August 11th 2023 – Sharing and Giving Selflessly

In our journey as followers of Christ, it is essential to recognize the incredible gift we have received through His love and grace. As Christians, we have been blessed with forgiveness, salvation, and a personal relationship with our Savior. This life-changing experience is something that should never be taken for granted.

However, it is equally important to understand that our blessings are not meant to be hoarded or kept to ourselves. Instead, we are called to pay it forward and bless others with the love and kindness that we have received. This act of selfless giving not only impacts the lives of those in need but also serves as a reflection of our gratitude towards God.

In 2 Corinthians 9:7, we are reminded that “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” This verse emphasizes the importance of giving with a joyful and willing heart, rather than out of obligation or duty. When we give selflessly, we emulate the character of Christ and becwwwome vessels of His love in the world.

John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.”

In these words, Jesus not only emphasizes the importance of love but also sets a high standard for how we are to love others. He instructs us to love as He has loved us, which is a selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional love.

Moreover, Matthew 25:40 teaches us the significance of recognizing the presence of Christ in those who are marginalized or in need. Jesus says, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” This powerful statement reminds us that our acts of compassion towards others are, in fact, acts of service to God Himself. When we extend a helping hand, lend a listening ear, or offer our resources to those in need, we are demonstrating our love for Christ and fulfilling His call to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Therefore, let us embrace the opportunity to share and give selflessly. Let us seek out ways to bless others, not only in material ways but also through our time, talents, and genuine care. Whether it is supporting a local charity, volunteering at a homeless shelter, or simply showing kindness to a stranger, every effort counts.

In doing so, we not only make a difference in the lives of those we touch but also experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from living out our faith. Let us remember that our purpose as Christians is not only to receive but also to give and share the love of Christ with others. May we be known as a people who recognize the presence of Christ in those who are marginalized or in need, and who respond with compassion, generosity, and a heart that seeks to bless others.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank you for the countless blessings you have bestowed upon us. As we come before you today, we humbly ask for your guidance and strength to embody the spirit of selfless sharing and giving.

Lord, you have shown us the ultimate example of selflessness through the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ. He gave His life as a sacrifice for our sins, displaying a love beyond measure. Teach us to emulate His selflessness in our own lives.

Help us to put the needs of others before our own, to be willing to share what we have, and to give without expecting anything in return. Open our eyes to the opportunities around us, that we may recognize the needs of those who are less fortunate and extend a helping hand.

Lord, we pray for a heart that is generous and compassionate, that we may always be willing to give of our time, resources, and talents. May we never hold back in sharing the blessings you have entrusted to us, knowing that everything we have comes from your loving hand.

Grant us wisdom in discerning where our giving can make the greatest impact, that we may be good stewards of the gifts you have given us. Help us to seek out those who are overlooked or forgotten, and to extend a loving hand to them.

Father, we ask that you transform our hearts to be filled with joy and gratitude in our acts of selfless giving. May we find fulfillment and purpose in sharing with others, knowing that we are fulfilling your commandments and spreading your love.

In all that we do, may our actions reflect your love and grace. May we be a living testimony of your selfless love, so that others may be drawn closer to you.

We offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen!

July 13th 2023 ‐ Fishers of Men

Let’s explore the profound metaphor of “Fishers of Men” This analogy speaks to our calling as believers to share the love and message of God with others, just as fishermen cast their nets to catch fish. Let us delve into this concept and discover its significance for our lives.

Imagine, if you will, the serene scene by the shores of the sea. Picture a group of fishermen, going about their daily work, casting their nets into the waters. Jesus, in His wisdom, used this everyday scene to teach His followers about their purpose and mission in life.

1. A Divine Call – Jesus called His disciples to become “fishers of men,” inviting them to leave behind their former lives and follow Him. This call extends to us today. We are chosen and called by God to be His representatives in the world, to share His love, and to bring others into a vibrant relationship with Him.

Matthew 4:19 – “‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.'”

2. Casting Our Nets – Just as fishermen cast their nets into the sea, we are called to cast our nets of love, compassion, and the message of salvation into the world around us. This involves stepping out of our comfort zones, reaching out to those who are hurting, lost, or in need of the hope that only Christ can provide. Let us be intentional in our actions, seeking opportunities to share God’s love with those we encounter.

Mark 1:16-18 “As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. ‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’ At once they left their nets and followed him.”

3. Trusting in God’s Providence – Fishing requires faith and trust in the provision of God. Fishermen cast their nets and wait, knowing that their catch is ultimately in God’s hands. Similarly, as we engage in sharing the Gospel, we must trust in God’s timing and His ability to work in the lives of those we reach. We plant the seeds, but it is God who brings the increase. Let us have faith that He will bring forth a bountiful harvest.

Luke 5:10-11 – “Then Jesus said to Simon, ‘Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.’ So, they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.”

4. Nurturing and Discipling – Once the fish are caught, fishermen take care of their catch, ensuring their well-being and growth. Similarly, we are called to nurture and disciple those who respond to the message of Christ. We walk alongside them, guiding, teaching, and supporting them on their journey of faith. Let us be a source of encouragement, offering guidance and sharing the wisdom and truth found in God’s Word.

Matthew 28:19-20 – “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

The significance of being fishers of men.

May we embrace our divine call, casting our nets of love and truth into the world around us. Let us trust in God’s provision and timing, knowing that He is at work in the lives of those we encounter. And may we faithfully nurture and disciple those who respond, guiding them towards a deeper relationship with Christ. Remember, our role as fishers of men is not limited to a select few; it is an invitation for all believers to participate in the redemptive work of God. May we embrace this calling wholeheartedly and be ambassadors of His love and grace in the world.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before you today with humble hearts, seeking your guidance and strength to be fishers of men, just as Jesus called his disciples to be. We acknowledge that it is through your power and grace that we can fulfill this calling. We ask for your wisdom and discernment as we interact with others, that we may have the right words to share the good news of your love and salvation. Help us to see people as you see them, with compassion and a desire for their spiritual well-being.

Grant us the courage to step out of our comfort zones, to reach out to those who are lost and searching for meaning in their lives. Give us opportunities to build relationships and establish connections with those who are in need of your saving grace. We also ask for your patience and perseverance as we walk alongside those we are discipling. Help us to be good listeners, ready to offer guidance and support. Give us the words to speak truth and love into their lives, pointing them towards you and helping them grow in their faith.

May your Holy Spirit empower us to be effective witnesses of your truth, shining your light in the darkness. Give us boldness to share our testimonies and the hope that we have in Jesus Christ.

Father, we surrender our own desires and agendas, and ask that you align our hearts with yours. Help us to be obedient to your leading, following your example of love and service. We ask all these things in Jesus precious name, Amen.

Invitation:

Have you ever eacknowledged Jesus as you Lord and Savior?

If you do not know Him personally. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. We truly are living in the end days, a d the only road to Heavwn is through Jesus Christ. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. Jesus loves us and wants to help us through the storms.

April 12th 2020 – He Shall Live

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.” (John 11:25)

Easter is not about the Easter Bunny or brightly colored eggs. Easter is about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

For some, Easter will be a great day, spent surrounded by family and friends. But for others, it will be a sad day, because Easter is a reminder of a loved one who has died and is now desperately missed.

Death seems so cruel, so harsh, and so final. That is what the disciples were feeling when they saw their Lord, whom they had left everything to follow, hanging on the cross. They were devastated. Death had crushed them. But if they would have gone back in their memories, they would have recalled an important event and statement Jesus had made.

They would have remembered Jesus standing at the tomb of his close friend Lazarus. They would have remembered that Jesus did something completely unexpected: He wept (see John 11:35 ). Jesus wept, because He knew that death was not part of God’s original plan. Humanity was not meant to grow old, to suffer with disease, or to die. But because of the sin of Adam and Eve, sin entered the human race, and death followed with it. And death spread to all of us. Jesus wept, because it broke His heart.

But standing there at Lazarus’ tomb, Jesus also delivered these hope filled words: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live” (John 11:25).

Death is not the end. And the resurrection of Jesus Christ proves it.

If you have put your faith in Christ, then Easter means that you will live forever in the presence of God. Easter brings hope to the person who has been devastated by death.

“Death is not the end for the Believer in Christ!”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for taking my sin upon You. I am sorry for the wrong things I have done and for the right I have failed to do. I confess my sins to You and ask for forgiveness. (Confess your sins, by act and by name to Him). Lord, thank You for helping me with my past and present sins. Help me to keep my eyes not on my sin, but on my Savior, Jesus. Help me to soar by casting off the weights of sin. Help me to live the life You have called me to live. I thank You for having a winning game plan for dealing with my Sin, In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Happy Easter from Scripturalseeds.org 

Looking to ask Jesus into or recommit your life to Him? Read Below..

Jesus says “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.” (Revelation 3:20)

The Bible promises eternal life to all who receive Christ: “And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life.” (1 John 11-13)

If you have not asked Jesus into your life, You can receive Jesus Christ right now by faith through prayer.

Prayer is just talking with God. He knows your heart, so don’t worry about getting your words just right. Here is a suggested prayer to guide you:

Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. Amen.

If you have done this, then congratulations! (Luke 15:7) says that when one sinner accepts Jesus Christ as his or her Saviour the angels rejoice. So there’s a party going on in heaven right now over your decision! Remember this date as your “second birthday,” the day you were born into a new life in Christ! You have God’s Word that he answered your prayer.

March 29th 2020 – Be Aware, Be On Alert!

“When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.” (Mark 13:7)

Reading through Mark chapter and relecting over this past year. This prophesy seeming more real now. In it, Jesus reminds us that when we see certain signs that indicate we are in, or are entering into the end times, we don’t have to be alarmed.

He reminds us that we will know these are prophetic words coming to pass when we hear of “wars and rumors of wars,” when we see certain events unfolding, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. Pestilence such as the current epidemic of the COVIF-19 disease we are now facing.  These are all the beginning of birth pains.” (Mark 13:8)

And also, in this one chapter where Jesus is telling us of all that’s to come, signs of the end times, He says this over and over, 7 different times throughout these verses…

He warns us to Be Aware.

His words are true are they are for now, right now, in this day and time, and throughout all future days until he comes again. May we be faithful, wise to listen, and may He help us to apply them to life:

“Watch out that no one deceives you…” (Mark 13:5)

“You must be on your guard…” (Mark 13:9)

“So be on your guard, I have told you everything ahead of time.” (Mark 13:23)

“Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.” (Mark 13:33)

“Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back–whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn.” (Mark 13:35)

“If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: Watch!”  (Mark 13:36)

As believers, we have hope in Christ, we know beyond a doubt He is at work in this world and He will come again.

Let’s keep working while it is still day…”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Praying for Your mercy through the storms and floods, through the earthquakes, through the fires, may You draw many to Youself in these final days. And may we be found living as light in a world that needs His great peace. I lift up the ones that may be feeling worried and fearful in these days. I pray that they choose to trust and believe that You are working in our world, even behind the scenes where we can’t fully see. I Ask that Your overwhelming presence of peace to fill their life today, and they ask for Your help in staying aware and alert.  Pray that You our God will help us, as believers, to be a light to others who need His hope in dark times. in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

March 15th 2020 – Forgiven in Christ Our Lord

“Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God” (Romans 15:15)

Satan loves to remind us of our past sins and failures. He finds great pleasure in bringing up things that God has long forgiven us of.

Revelation chapter 12:10 refers to Satan as the “accuser of our brethren.” That’s what he does, but not because he’s really got anything on us. If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Bible tells us that your sins have been separated from you as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). So, what does it profit the enemy to bring up what you’ve been forgiven of? He wants to distract you from following Jesus. If he can get you to listen to his accusations, maybe he can shame you into believing that you’ve crossed some line of forgiveness that doesn’t exist. That is his game and he is betting that he can pull you into it. Remember the words in 1st John

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

Has Satan distracted you from following Jesus? Don’t believe his lies, and friend, in love, you need to quit listening to your enemy. You have got a great future ahead of you. Satan, on the other hand… well… his future is not so good because he will be thrown into the lake of fire. He will be destroyed. He knows it. So, the next time the enemy tries to remind you of your past, remind him of his future.

“We often forget what we should remember and remember what we should forget.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for sending Your only Son, Jesus to die on the cross for my sins. Thank You for the promise that one day, You will wipe the tears from my eyes and there will be no more death, sorrow or crying. Thank You that I can have peace through Jesus, no matter what trial or difficulties I am experiencing. Please forgive me for the times when I have surrendered my peace to a situation or problem and help me to live for You every day. I rejoice in knowing the future that lies ahead of me is so much better than the past that is behind me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

March 14th 2020 – God Is Love!

Then the LORD said to me, “Go and love your wife again, even though she commits adultery with another lover. This will illustrate that the LORD still loves Israel, even though the people have turned to other gods and love to worship them.” (Hosea 3:1)

Have you ever taken time to truly think about God’s love? In Hosea, we get a glimpse of this love through the lives of the prophet Hosea and his wife Gomer. Gomer has continued to commit adultery against her husband, yet God tells Hosea to go and love her again. You see, this is not just a story about marriage and it’s not just an image of Israel. This is also a picture of the Gospel.

Like Gomer, we all have continued to walk away from God. We chase after other things to make us happy or fulfill our lives all the while forgetting the One who truly loves us. If the story ended there, we would be in a hard situation, but like Gomer, we have a heavenly Father Who was willing to buy us back. How did He buy us back? God purchased us from the slavery of sin with the blood of His Son Jesus. You see, while we were in bondage to our sinful ways, Jesus stepped out of heaven, walked to the cross and died in our place. When He died, He buried our sins with Him. When He arose, He pronounced freedom to all who would trust in Him. His reason for doing this for us is simple. God loves us.

“God is love”

If you have never experienced the love of God through a relationship with Jesus then come to Him today. He will never turn you away. You can pray a prayer like this…

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I know that I have sinned. Today, I come to You and ask that You would forgive me of my sins. I believe Jesus died for me and that He rose again. Fill me with Your Spirit and use me for Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you have read this prayer and believed in your heart, then congratulations!

(Luke 15:7) says that when one sinner accepts Jesus Christ as his or her Savior the angels rejoice. So there’s a party going on in heaven right now over your decision! Remember this date as your “second birthday,” the day you were born into a new life in Christ! You have God’s Word that he answered your prayer.

March 13th 2020 – God, I Got This On My Own

“And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, ‘Peace to you!’ Then He said to Thomas, ‘Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.’” (John 20:26-27)

We have all heard the comments, “get it together,” “straighten up,” or the ever classic, “as the good book says, the Lord helps them that help themselves.” Eventually, we heard it enough that we believed it. First, I have read the good book from cover to cover several times and let me assure you, it does not say that. Second, the Lord helps those that ask for His help.

If you are still determined to make it on your own, or get yourself cleaned up, or fly right or that you can fix the problem, whatever term you want to use, the Lord will let you try. The moment you realize you need the Lord’s help, He will be there to help, though not when you are over the trial, but while you are in the trial. To think that He comes to us after we get through the tough stuff is to paint Him as a fair weather friend. Beloved of God, it is you that the Lord longs to walk with through the storms of life. Call out to Him right where you are, just as you are and He will become even more real to you. The Lord loves you enough to take you just as you are, and thankfully He loves you too much to let you stay that way.

“Jesus will come to us right where we are and as we are.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I’ve tried it my way and my way doesn’t work. I need Your help in my life. Whatever things I’m trying to do on my own outside of You, I completely surrender to You. Please help me. Thank You for being the here for me always. Forgive me for not listening to You when I have heard the answer to my situation many times. Forgive me for choosing my way over Yours. I confess that am just a sinner and do not know more then You Lord. Please strenthing my faith and trust in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

March 11th 2020 – From Tears To Diamonds

“I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears.”(Psalms 6:6)

How deep does our emotional pain hit us? How do we respond to it? It could come from the death of a precious loved one, the hardship of having someone betray you, or the sin you keep falling into that you hate. Perhaps you’ve had sorrow as King David did when he had a child turn against him. Many of us, no matter how tough we are, have experienced pain that brought us to tears. How does God look at you and me during our struggles and when we’re weeping before Him?

“You keep track of all my sorrows.You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book” (Psalms 56:8)

Our loving heavenly Father takes distinct note of when we cry. When we cry, we do not keep our tears, but they are captured by the Lord. Have you ever been bothered by seeing your child struggle, getting hurt, and crying? It is even more so with our Father in heaven who sent His Son to intercede with His tears on behalf of our struggles and sins. Jesus sowed tears of sorrow for our sin so that He could give us joy by defeating our sin (Psalm 126:3). Take heart today by knowing God has taken note of our hurts, our struggle, our prayer, our tears, and most importantly our sins, and we will ultimately be eternally freed if we have entrusted our life to Him.

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever” (Revelation 21:4)

“Jesus turns our tears into diamonds”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank you for capturing my heart, my sorrows, and my tears. Thank you for paying the ultimate price for my sin so that I can be eternally delivered from the sorrow of my sin in such a sin stained world. I have great hope because of You Lord. Thank you for caring for me and remembering me even when I weep. Please keep reminding me that my tears are but for a moment, and you will wipe every tear I ever had away from my face. Please give me Your power to see and walk in Your joy since I know this day is coming. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
