Sunday Words of Encouragement June 21, 2015

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE FATHERS!!

We had a nice service today. Our Sunday School teacher continued lessons in Romans chapter 2. He discussed “labels” pointing out that the origin of the word  “Jew” was one Judah - meaning one of the tribe (or kingdom) of Judah.  As noted last week, Paul was addressing the Jews error in judging the Gentiles. Reading verses 25-29 reveals that having an outward sign as a Jew (circumcision) is only of value if that person is living properly, obeying the law. God does not judge men by their outside appearance or label. Labels and signs may point to truth, but only God judges in truth by the content within man’s heart. He looks for His own mark on the heart of the one he judges.

Our Pastor gave a sermon for Father’s Day. He shared several poem/prayers for fathers. His message was grounded in Joshua 24:14-18. He stressed two points about the Godly man: 1. He is the Priest of his home, and 2. He plans for his family. First, as priest the father is responsible for spiritual security and teaching at home. Second, the father sets the example by staying in the word and in following the right ways of God’s teachings. Deuteronomy 6:6-9 (re-emphasized in Deuteronomy 11:18-20). Pastor encouraged all of the men “Don't leave God out of your manhood.”

We sang this song this morning and I find it stirring each time we sing it.
Bless the Lord Oh my Soul!
Verses for Today
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 NIV
6These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Thank you God for being my loving, caring, merciful Father who loves me beyond my human understanding.

Sunday Words of Encouragement March 23, 2014

I am thankful that I haven't been quite as under the weather this weekend after my final treatment although I still didn't have the strength to go to church.

I chose this song today as there are more than 10,000 reasons to give praise and thanks!
Verses for today:
Psalm 103: 1-2(NASB)
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget none of His benefits;

Thank you Lord for seeing me through this time of treatment. Thank you for all your blessings that overflow my life.
