One Passage today – John 17:6-19!  Here is the sermon from last weeks Sunday readings:

Jesus marches towards the cross!  Psalm 12 – Lamentations 1:17-22 – 2 Corinthians 1:8-22 – Mark 11:27-33

The authority of Jesus.  Where does Jesus get the authority to say and do what He says and does?  He is God – He is the authority.  How different that is from anyone else and that is the whole point.  He is God and He is the Savior.  This week we remember all He went through FOR US!  It was all for us and all because He loves us!  Pretty amazing if you ask me!

Not a Fan!  John 12:20-33!  This passage reminds me of a series we did a while backed called “Not a Fan!”  It was based on the book by pastor Kyle Idleman.  The big question during that series was are you a fan of Jesus or a follower.  A fan is an enthusiastic admirer – a follower is on the field in the plays (to use a football reference).  What about you?  Are these words of Jesus an option?  Can I be a follower and not follow?

Day Number 50!  Oh Yeah readings – here they are:  Exodus 21 and Matthew 16:13-20!

Hey it’s a great day to worship God!  Actually, every single day is perfect to worship God.  Why is that?  Isn’t Sunday the only day to worship?  Sunday is a huge day – it’s the day we remember that Jesus rose and so we gather with other believers to hear more about that and to strengthen the bonds that God has given to us!  That is rather amazing and yet there is more – a whole life of worship.  So, how will this week change know that you know that you can worship God all the time?

Day 48 is here! It’s Here!  Exodus 17-18 and Matthew 16:1-4!

Even a guy in the Bible needs some patience.  I am talking about Moses, who is about to lose it in our readings from Exodus.  He has had enough!  These people that God saddle him with – yikes – what a bunch of whiners !  Moses cries out to God and God has it covered.  What a thing for us to see.  It’s not that we will be frustration-free!  It’s that we go to God and He will help us – He will strengthen us.  What is getting to you right now?  Take it to the Lord in Prayer (like the Hymn says).  Peace
