But how can they call on Him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about Him? And how can they hear without a preacher? Romans 10:14 A mission. You and I are on a mission for or with God. How was the first time you heard the gospel message? Or at least it stood out to you? I know being raised in the church, I have listened to it through Sunday School, children’s church, and my parents. I remember that my attention to Jesus being my savior was listening to a record player of puppet singing songs about God and giving the salvation message at…

Burdened
But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3 How would you describe a person who follows Jesus? What should their life look like? What would you say their goal would be for their life? We all have opinions of what it means to follow Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:14a Have you ever been in a situation where you were having a casual conversation and it turned into a heated argument? Did you ever have someone with the group bring calmness “peace” to the group? This type of person is a peacemaker. Jesus brought peace with him when he came to the world.

His blood is what…

Do Not Conform To This World
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing, you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Roman 12:2 God has told us not to confirm to this world. However, let’s be honest, it’s hard not to conform to this world, and the many different levels of its likeness. We, Christians, have to firmly resist the temptation to accept and imitate the world’s thinking and Behaviors. The world is filled with evil and we must not adopt the worlds away. Satan is the ruler and is hostile towards God and his people.…
