SUNDAY SERMON ON THE BLOG – REAL REFORM!

This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Reform your ways and your actions, and I will let you live in this place. - Jeremiah 7:3.
We often take for granted what we have, where we live, the friends who bless our lives, and the family that gives us a place to belong and grow.

All of these are all gifts to us from God. We don't deserve them. We don't earn them. But, we can surely destroy them. God wants us to live obediently, not just to please him, but also to protect ourselves and those we love.

So let's reform our actions and live for him and not for ourselves.

Loving Heavenly Father, forgive me if I have taken my gifts for granted. Thank you for your love and forgiveness, and for all the gifts you have bestowed upon me. By the power of the Holy Spirit, empower me, as I seek to turn my life around to live passionately for you, and your glory. In the wonderful and mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

Be encouraged.

SUNDAY SERMON ON THE BLOG – RICH THE WISE WAY!

Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. - 1Timothy 6:9.

This is not a message for folks who are financially rich.

No, this is for all of us who want to have that wealth. Craving it, coveting it, and going in pursuit of earthly wealth expose us to grave danger.

Let's be reminded of the words Jesus: Seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

Loving Heavenly Father, I thank you for your many blessings. By the power of the Holy Spirit, help me to be satisfied, and generous with the blessings you have already given to me. Help me to keep my focus on you and your Son! In the wonderful and mighty name of your Son and my Saviour, Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Be encouraged.
