    Mary and Martha: Part 1

    “If any man is thirsty, let Him come to Me and drink.  He who believes in Me as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.'”  John 7:37-38 Mary and Martha, two sisters who are very different from one another.  They are two disciples.  These two ladies show us much about pure worship and the kind of worship Jesus takes delight in.  Let’s read John 10: 38-39.  This is where we are introduced to Mary and Martha.  What are your thoughts about Mary?  What are your thoughts about Martha?  How does Mary act toward Jesus?

    The Resurrection Life

    I am the resurrection and the Life.  John 11:25   Life, here on earth, can be untidy and unruly.  It can be so unpredictable that our hearts can be fragile and get hurt in all of it.  Life doesn’t always gives us answers to our questions.  Life leaves blanks.  It leaves no details.  Are you a person who likes all the blanks filled and as many details as possible?  I do not know how many times I have to rewind the video to a speaker just to fill in their outline and get all the great details that speak on. We don’t get all the answers, do we?  There was…

    The Body Of Christ- Part 1

    For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought,  but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function.  So in Christ we, though many, form one body, each member belongs to all the others.  Romans 12:3-5 Do you know what you part is in the body of Christ? Do you know how to work with the other parts of the body?   We…

    God Takes The Initiative

      It is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.  Philippians 2:13 Are you willing to allow God to work in your life for his good purposes? God takes the initiative.  God reveals himself and his activity when he goes to us.  This is an invitation to join God and adjust our life to Him.  In the Bible, when God encountered the people, they were never the same.  They made major adjustments in their lives to be obedient to Him.  That is true of today also.  When we encounter God and obey, we will never be the same. God is the Pacesetter.  We…
