Back to School Service
Join us next Sunday, August 30th, for our Back To School Service.
The service will start at 10:15 am. Let us pray for God’s blessings on our children as they enter school.
We look forward to worship with you on Sunday.
GRATEFUL
1Ti 1:13
“Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy…”.
The verse before us describes a man known at that time as Saul, who in his own words “persecuted the church of Jesus Christ.” At another time he called himself “the chief of sinners”, which indicates to us in some way that he ranked himself among the lowest of the low. But he was shown “mercy”… rather than receiving a just recompense, the now Apostle Paul received the mercy of God.
Gods mercy is infinite and very often we do not understand the vastness of it that when applied to a violent murderer he is totally transformed and becomes an apostle.
Every believer today can identify with the Apostle Paul in one way or another, and be extremely grateful to God that we didn’t get what we rightfully deserved. “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy” (Rom 9:15). To Him alone be the Glory.
Entrusting All to God
“Therefore, let those also who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right” (1 Peter 4:19).
By this point Peter has assumed that his original readers, since many had endured persecution, knew what suffering was like. Therefore, he could also present the Lord as a sovereign God who could be trusted to do “what is right.” Because it is God’s will to allow sufferings and trials in the lives of all believers, it is only logical that Peter exhort us to entrust ourselves to Him during such times.
Peter’s instruction is also related to Romans 12:1, “I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual [or rational] service of worship.” Paul reminds us that it is much easier to react as we should to trials if we have already resolved, with God’s help, to entrust everything to Him. Then we can face with calm and confidence, rather than worry and fear, whatever God allows.
Armed With Courage
Armed With Courage
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.—James 1:6
When entering the prayer chamber, we must come filled with faith and armed with courage. Nowhere else in the whole field of religious thought and activity is courage so necessary as in prayer. The successful prayer must be one without condition. We must believe that God is love and that, being love, He cannot harm us but must ever do us good. Then we must throw ourselves before Him and pray with boldness for whatever we know our good and His glory require, and the cost is no object! Whatever He in His love and wisdom would assess against us, we will accept with delight because it pleased Him. Prayers like that cannot go unanswered. The character and reputation of God guarantee their fulfillment.
We should always keep in mind the infinite loving kindness of God. No one need fear to put his life in His hands. His yoke is easy; His burden is light.
