God knows everything about us, even before conception! Life begin at conception, and every life conceived is a person and every person has a eternal Soul!

1 O LORD, you have searched me and known me!
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.
5 You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. - Psalm 139:1-6

When trying to demonstrate to people that God exists, remember, they already know in their hearts that God exists. Their problem is that they hate the God they know exists, so Your disputes shouldn't be initially based upon an intellectual approach; rather, you must speak to their Moral problem.

(Fight the Good Fight, Keep the Faith and remember, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty." Psalm 91:1)

Romans 1:18-23
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their reasonings, and their senseless hearts were darkened. 22Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23and they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.

Ephesians 5:6
6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things bthe wrath of God comes upon cthe sons of disobedience.

Col 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.

Rom 1:18
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,

Eph 2:2-4
1And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

Hear the Word of the Lord! Wow, Verse 6! What a Comfort, to see that Father son like relationship! I have called you, and I will Hold your hand!

Isaiah 42:5-9
5This is what God the LORD says,
Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread out the earth and its [d]offspring,
Who gives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk in it:
6“I am the LORD, I have called You in righteousness,
I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You,
And I will appoint You as a covenant to the people,
As a light to the nations,
7To open blind eyes,
To bring out prisoners from the dungeon
And those who dwell in darkness from the prison.
8“I am the LORD, that is My name;
I will not give My glory to another,
Nor My praise to idols.
9“Behold, the former things have come to pass,
Now I declare new things;
Before they sprout I proclaim them to you.”

Sometimes we just need this reminder as we face busy, demanding, and occasionally tedious tasks!

14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing,15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, - Philippians 2:14-15

Let us do all we do, big and small, all to the Glory of God! God has a purpose for it all, walk joyfully and boldly knowing everything matters!

Truth does not recognize the size of an enemy! Speak the truth and let your agenda be honesty!
Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. - John 17:17

20 Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,
21 equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. - Hebrews 13:20-21

A faithful brother shared this verse with me this morning, and it was such a great reminder that we are equipped to serve and honor the Lord! It was a great workday yesterday, and so many came out to serve! Thank you all for your faithful involvement!

John 14:1-6 is one of the most profound passages in all of the Bible.
• It is the Foundation of Hope
• It is the Foretaste of Heaven
• It is the Fulfillment of Healing
• It is the Finality of Holiness
~ Pastor Stuart Guthrie

God speaks through His living and active Word, and salvation comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. So preach the Word, it is full and sufficient!

16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

I know you already understand this, but just in case you forget this morning! I’m praying that you wait on the Lord that you receive strength and that you not grow weary and that you will continue to walk in the mighty name of Jesus!

28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.
30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;
31 but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. - Isaiah 40:28-31

A few verses to encourage you this morning! Remember, Jesus Saves, and His word is sufficient and Complete!

I’m reminded this morning that....
11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.

Notice the contrast, be in the tent of the upright, be walking in Holiness, and repent when your not. You don’t want to be in the house of the wicked!

12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.

Salvation isn’t by works, good deeds don’t save, and the wages of sin are always death! Salvation is of the Lord, not by the will of man or flesh, but of God! Don’t make that mistake and think the good outweighing the bad is right; no, that seems right, but it will leave you lacking, leave you dead!

13 Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief. - Proverbs 14:11-13

When you fail to trust Christ, your joy isn’t real joy; instead, it is momentary happiness, and happiness is fickle! Real Joy, even though the heart may Ache remains focused on the Savior and your purpose! And so, in the end, you can look happy to the world, but your dead, unrepentant heart will cause you pain and grief!

Keep your eyes on the Prize, and the Joy set before you! The Lord Jesus Christ!

This was George Mueller's funeral text when his wife Mary died of rheumatic fever in 1860. His three points were:
The Lord was good, and did good, in giving her to me.
The Lord was good and did good, in so long leaving her to me.
The Lord was good and did good, in taking her from me.

Isn't God so GOOD to you and me!

Walk In holiness! Your works don’t save you, they simply reveal to you that God has regenerated your heart!

18 But someone will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe-and shudder!
20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? - James 2:18-20

That’s strong language! Make sure you’re walking the walk and not simply talking to talk!

Beware of popularity; beware when everyone loves you. If they hated Him, how much more will they hate you? He was perfect, we are not, and therefore they should hate us all the more! Remember those faithful followers!

Paul was beheaded
Andrew crucified
Four soldiers speared Thomas.
Philip arrested, cruelly put to death.
Matthew stabbed to death
Bartholomew martyr for the gospel.
Andrew stoned, clubbed to death.
Simon is killed after refusing to sacrifice to the sun god.
Matthias death by burning.
Peter Crucified upside down

If there is more going down than up, there will be more hate for you and your message. This walk-in Christ can be a lonely path! If you're going to stand for the Truth, it will be with a faithful few! Remain steadfast in Christ!

13 "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.
14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. - Matthew 7:13-14

Jesus is the Way! John 14:6!

Keep your eyes on the Prize Brothers and Sister!

He who has ears to hear let them hear!

15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.
18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits. - Matthew 7:15-20

I know we struggle in this flesh as we watch this nation decline morally , but I’m reminded that we worship a God that allows things for a bigger purpose we cant see! We see it throughout the Bible in the lives of those that followed the Lord, so be reminded today!

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. - Romans 8:28

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. - Isaiah 55:9

Glory to God, He is still on the Throne!

We just want to thank all those that have subscribed to our channel, you all are such a blessing to us, and we couldn’t be more grateful for you! Please know that while we don’t know many of you personally, we do pray for you and trust that God will bless you greatly as you walk with Him!

3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy,
5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. 6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. - Philippians 1:3-6

Power is in the Word!

10 Therefore David blessed the LORD in the presence of all the assembly. And David said: "Blessed are you, O LORD, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever.
11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.
12 Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all.
13 And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name. - 1 Chronicles 29:10-13

Do you love the Word as much as they loved the Word? I’m reminded of these committed people who sat and listened to the Preaching of the WORD from early morning till midday.

1 And all the people gathered as one man into the square before the Water Gate. And they told Ezra, the scribe, to bring the Book of the Law of Moses that the LORD had commanded Israel.
2 So Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could understand what they heard, on the first day of the seventh month.
3 And he read from it facing the square before the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women and those who could understand. And the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law. - Nehemiah 8:1-3

Let us be attentive to the Word of God, not so much man! Be blessed and have yourself an amazing day!

Peter said to Jesus,
“Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

Think not so quickly that you would be willing to die for Jesus if you are unwilling to go to church to worship Him!

38 Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times. - John 13:37-38

Lord help us to be faithful in worshiping you no matter what or where we are, that we might glorify you for your namesake.
