Bearing Witness

Welcome back brothers and sisters in Christ!

Let's first take a moment to give thanks to the Lord, for He has called us out of the kingdom of darkness into His Kingdom of Light!  What a glorious day to remember, celebrate and above all, honor God by doing what He commands us to.  Everything the Lord does, is good...so let us Love the Lord and Love our neighbor as ourselves today!

Saturday was a great meeting, we are always honored to share in the Word of God with everyone that comes, and to take it out and share it with others.  We pray that is what all of us are doing.  Remember, church is where we get equipped by the Word of God, that we may take it to the world to proclaim.  Let's not think for a moment that an unbeliever is going to want to come to church to hear the Gospel, it's the Gospel being brought to them...that brings them to church!  Pastor Scott graciously continued in the series he is doing in the Gospel of John, our verses for the night were John 5:31-47.  Pastor gave us a microscopic lens to look very closely at what Jesus meant about bearing witness, and doing so in right manner.  The Lord fulfilled the entirety of the Law of Moses, by God's standard...not the Pharisee's.  So when the Lord spoke of not alone bearing witness, He did so rightly and expounded how it was to be.  As always He also gave the view from both sides, God's and man's, when it comes to doing what God commands and showed the difference between what the Pharisee's considered testifying in one's name or coming in one's own name, and God's.  We should still doing things in like manner, we testify of the Lord by His Word, through the Holy Spirit by the will of the Father...which when we think about it is a great relief...I know I sure couldn't come up with the right words to truly testify of the Lord...I need His for sure!  Moses surely understood this, for what he wrote...he wrote about Jesus!  We encourage you to read the Old Testament with this in mind and before you know it, you will see Christ everywhere too!

One thing to remember when giving your testimony...it should always glorify Christ.  If any of us are the focus of our testimony...we may surely have missed the mark on that one.  At the end of the day, always give glory to the Lord, for without Him...we would all still be in that kingdom of darkness and wouldn't even realize what we were about to face come the time of Judgement.  God's wrath on sin is a serious thing, only Jesus could have satisfied the wrath of God while fulfilling all righteousness because He is the spotless Lamb of God. 

Let's look to Jesus, as the Israelites looked to the bronze serpent raised in the wilderness...by faith, believing God.  Contact us here online or in person for anything that we can help with in your walk of faith and until next we meet....

Let's go serve our King!
