Welcome back family of God!
It has been a week hiatus since the last posting, but we still have regular video updates on our YouTube channel. It is good to be here to share once again with everyone the good news that the Lord has given us of Salvation through Christ alone, by faith alone amen? Let's take a moment to give God thanks for the mighty deeds He has done, not just for us but for everyone He has saved, His Justice, Mercy, Love and that He is the Truth. He alone is Holy and there is no other! What a mighty God we serve indeed! It's always good for us to do as what was done for the people of Israel through the years, be reminded of what the Lord has done for us...lest we become prideful and forget the Lord our God. He is worthy of Love the most...yet receives it from mankind the least and that is heartbreaking...
That last point is segue into the video from last Saturday night where Pastor Scott humbly takes us through John 7:25-36 (with a brief into 37-39), look very close at the division of the crowd in the Temple. On the one side we have the Pharisees who were constantly looking for a way to arrest and kill Jesus, the other side we have people who are genuinely amazed at the Lord's teaching, for no man has ever spoken as Him before, yet across the middle nobody really seemed to hit the mark with who He really was. We even see a touch of irony in the statement of one of the men in the crowd in verse 31 as he speaks " Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?”". Dear friends, we sadly too often face this very same reality...people simply do not know Him, nor He they.
This is why we are called to proclaim the Gospel to the nations! As the love of God so fills us, it ought to spur us on to good works, that we should desire to see our neighbor saved. Let's join together, and serve the Lord in doing what He commands of us. His commands are good, and are life to all who obey them. Seek the Lord while He may be found, and you are never alone in this! The blood of Christ is more powerful than any sin that you may have committed, and no sin you commit can undue the cleansing power of it. Let's strive together to walk the narrow way, few there be that find it.
We encourage you to watch the sermon from last Saturday night and share it with friends, family, neighbors and even your enemies, the Gospel is for all to hear. As Pastor Scott reminded us in the sermon tonight, if the Lord has given us ears to hear, we will understand who Jesus is...
