Thanks for your patience as we work through the bad cell service out here in Early Branch! We don’t have internet, and cell service is poor, but we are working on getting something that will allow us to run a strong, online live service. We are grateful for everyone that was able to follow today on the Facebook platform, but we will also find another option as well!

If you have any helps, ideas, or suggestions for these items, you are welcome to reach out to me. We desire to host a clear and strong livestream that will be done with excellence.

Please know that we are working and will do all that we can to provide the best experience for joining online.

Thank you, and God bless you all!

5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. - Philippians 2:5-8

“What was only appropriate for a servant, became the very responsibility of our Savior”

Jeremiah 17:7-8
7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose trust is the Lord.
8 For he will be like a tree planted by the water That extends its roots by a stream, And does not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of drought,
Nor cease to yield fruit.

Amos 5:14-15 NASB

14 Seek good and not evil, so that you may live; And so may the Lord God of armies be with you, Just as you have said!
15 Hate evil, love good,
And establish justice in the gate! Perhaps the Lord God of armies Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

When fear moves in, Faith moves out! Stop walking in fear, and walk by faith.
6 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight. - 2 Corinthians 5:6-7

1 O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they deserve!
3 O LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
4 They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast.
5 They crush your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6 They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless;
7 and they say, "The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive." - Psalm 94:1-7

Proverbs 19:21-23
21 Many plans are in a person’s heart, But the advice of the  Lord will stand.
22 What is desirable in a person is his kindness, And it is better to be a poor person than a liar.
23 The fear of the Lord leads to life, So that one may sleep  satisfied, untouched by evil.

Do you need peace tonight? What are you fearing tonight? Fear the Lord, for He will teach the humble His way.
(See Psalm 25)

Commit your work to the LORD, and your plans will be established. - Proverbs 16:3

The fact that Christians disagree on what the Bible teaches does not mean that there is a lack of clarity in Scripture, but rather in Christians. The Word of God is our authoritative rule for faith and practice—meaning that it is perfectly sufficient for teaching sound doctrine and governing right living. ~ Dr. John MacArthur

A little encouragement for the ladies: from Jennifer

“But God sets no traps for us. Quite on the contrary. He has summoned us to the only true and full freedom. The woman who defines her liberation as doing what she wants, or not doing what she doesn’t want, is, in the first place, evading responsibility. Evasion of responsibility is the mark of immaturity.”
⁃ Elizabeth Elliot

Don't listen to the Devil; he is a liar! He is still lying today as he did in Genesis 3:1 when he said to Eve, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" Don't be deceived; God's Word is always TRUE! Stand on the Truth of His Word, and don't entertain the lair.

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! - Psalm 118:1
Thank you Lord for your amazing love and Grace!

10 "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. - Isaiah 55:10-11

I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but Jesus loves you! I’m talking to you believer, the one who is in a hard place! You need to remember, He will never leave you or forsake you! Sonship is an amazing blessing! 1 John 1:9

Lots of prayer request coming through! Please know we are praying, we are fighting these battles in prayer! We are humbled that we can pray for you all!

This is a great reminder, that we battle not against flesh and blood, but we do partner together on the battlefields of spiritual warfare! Give Wise counsel to people, give them Biblical counsel, and if it isn’t rooted in the Word, withholding counsel would be a wiser option! Wage war with Godly wisdom!

Plans are established by counsel; by wise guidance wage war. - Proverbs 20:18

"I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds." -
Jeremiah 17:10

5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. - John 15:5-6

“What I spent I had, what I saved I lost, what I gave I have”
