1/19/2025 0 Comments Pastor’s PenBeloved, good friends are a treasure from the Lord. Combine good friends with a loving and powerful Savior and you have an incredible combination. This is what happened when friends of the paralytic brought him to Jesus. Jesus not only healed the man but when He saw their faith, He more importantly forgave the man his sins.
Beloved, Jesus has the power and the authority to heal, restore and forgive us of our sins. Not only does He have the authority to do this, but He also has the will to do this. Jesus wants to forgive us, cleanse us and restore us. Maybe you have an impossible situation in your life. Take it to Jesus. Let us witness His power at work in you and through you! In His Strong Name- Pastor Joe

1/12/2025 0 Comments Pastor’s PenBeloved, we know that nothing is impossible to God. Luke 1:36–37 says, “And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37For nothing will be impossible with God.”
Yes, God can do anything He wishes to do, but God will not do things that would be against His holy will or contradictory to His purposes. He can commit no sinful act, for example, for He is completely holy, and sinning is not in His character. This is why the leper came to Jesus asking Him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” The leper knew that Jesus could do the impossible, but would He? The leper found out that Jesus was willing and that his healing here on earth was part of God’s will for his life. Beloved, you may be facing an impossible situation. Only God can perform the miracle that you need. Ask Him. Say, “If you will…” Then leave the answer up to the Lord. Whatever the answer, He always wants what is best for us. Blessings- Pastor Joe 1/5/2025 0 Comments Pastor’s PenBeloved, as we begin the year 2025, we look back at what the Lord has done, and we also look forward to what the Lord is going to do. Looking forward, our theme verse for 2025 is Titus 2:11-14.
Now, Titus 2:11-14 is a single sentence in Greek and surely is one of the great theological statements in the Bible. It focuses on the grace of God and what that grace has accomplished in our lives and how we are to respond to God’s grace. My prayer is that we will live out God’s grace in our lives. I pray that we will live God’s grace individually and corporately. May we truly embody what it means to be a part of God’s grace in our lives and our congregation. BELOVED, may you and your loved ones be filled with the grace of God, “to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” IN HIS GRACE- Pastor Joe |
