Be Patient in the Lord – July 4, 2016

Today’s Translation: New Living Translation | Weekly Video: The Meek (Matthew 5:5 | Psalm 37)

“Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong. For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither. Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.” – Psalm 37:1-7 (NLT)

Live It Out!

It may seem like evil and corrupt people are the ones getting all the attention, but their time at the top will soon be over. As citizens of heaven, we can afford to be patient when disaster strikes because we are living in light of eternal life. Keep your eyes on heaven and your trust in the Lord, and He will carry you through the valley. This life is temporary, but His glory lasts forever.

Commanded to Love – March 3, 2018 Introduction : Following Jesus -> John’s account of the Last Supper (ch13-17) Big Idea : If we love Jesus, we must love each other. Scripture : John 13:1-14:24 (CSB) John 13:1-11 (CSB) Before the Passover Festival, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. Now when it was time for supper, the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son, to betray him. Jesus knew that the Father had given everything into his hands, that he had come from God, and that he was going back to God. So he got up from supper, laid aside his outer clothing, took a towel, and tied it around himself. Next, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel tied around him. He came to Simon Peter, who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered him, “What I’m doing you don

You Are My Witnesses – November 18, 2015

Today’s Translation : Holman Christian Standard Bible | Weekly Video : The Blind Will See (Isaiah 43:8-13) ““You are My witnesses”— this is the Lord’s declaration— “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. No god was formed before Me, and there will be none after Me.” – Isaiah 43:10 Live It Out! The only answer to the darkness of this world is the light of Christ. Just as God called out Israel to be His witnesses during their time in exile, He is calling us out in our exile. This world is not our home. Let us stay focused on heaven above while telling people about what Jesus has done in our lives. God is in control, and He loves us as His own children, so there is no reason to worry about the future. from Paradigm Shift Ministries http://ift.tt/1MUosaW via IFTTT
