11.30-



Mark 16.
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.

Good news.
Jesus’ tomb is empty.  He has risen.  Our assertion is that He is alive.  Believe in this reality.  For 2019 years people have been believing.  Believe and receive Him as your Savior and leader.  Become a child of God.

There was never complete forgiveness and justification in religion regardless of the type.  This clearing of our sin, guilt and shame came with the death of the lamb of God on the cross.  As we travel around the world as followers of Jesus our message is that God’s kingdom is the kingdom that overshadows and outlasts all kingdoms.

Acts 13.
38 Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through [p]Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, 39 and [q]through Him everyone who believes is [r]freed [s]from all things, from which you could not be [t]freed [u]through the Law of Moses.

Our God hears our prayers.
I was in distress and sorrow and I called on the name of the Lord and He helped me.
Our God is gracious and compassionate.
He serves the simple who have been brought low.
Precious to God is the death of His children.

This is our good news for today and every day.

6.12- The teacher and his group.

 6.12- The teacher and his group. There is a word I am not going to use in this writing. C-H-U-R-C-H. That word miscommunicates. I am going to refer to this group with these words. The teacher and his group. I am not referring to a physical building whether it be old or new or large or small with a steeple or without one. I am referring to a group of people. The teacher made a huge sacrifice of mercy to start the group. He left the perfectly comfortable and pain free surroundings he was in to come out to touch and help the pain of others. The whole group has been in existence for about 2024 years. It might be two or three ladies working on a quilt for a young lady who has experienced a surprising event in her life which will help God to create a new life. It might be twenty ladies who throw a bridle shower for a young couple getting married and wanting to dedicated their marriage and life helping others through teaching. It might be 40 people going to a golden wedding anniversary. It m

6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence

 6.10- The Power of Keeping a Confidence I have a close friend who started listening to my confidential words 46 years ago. He guards his lips and preserves secrets and deep friendship. He does not speak rashly. He doesn't add shame to the bad things l have experienced. He reduces my burdens by his grace. He has good judgement regarding when to speak and when to remain silent. This gives him good long term friends and deep joy. Proverbs 13 3  A wise son  accepts his  father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke. 2  From the fruit of a person’s mouth he  [ a ] enjoys good, But the  [ b ] desire of the treacherous is violence. 3  One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips  [ c ] comes to ruin. 4  The soul of the  [ d ] lazy one craves and  gets  nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made  [ e ] prosperous. 5  A righteous person hates a false statement, But a wicked person  [ f ] acts disgustingly and shamefully. 6  Righteousness guards

4.2- The right kind of freedom versus the wrong kind of freedom.

 4.2- The right kind of freedom versus the wrong kind of freedom. We were born to be free. This kind gives us the mastery under God to become excellent farmers and craftsmen. We fall down and get up in this pursuit, but we gain spiritual humility which helps us improve. Ready. fire and aim better. Fake freedom is fly paper and the fly. The fly thinks, " I can land and have some hyper pleasure" but paper says to the fly, "I have you." A freedom done with no self control becomes an addiction. We who are children of God enjoy his mercies new each.morning to have a day of grace mercy and peace if we receive them for that is what he is sending our way. 1 Peter 2 13  Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority,   14  or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.   15  For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of
