Fear Not (by Assoc. Pastor Linda Pugsley)

10/16/2014

Uncertainty is a given…fear is optional. Truer words have not been spoken…and that, by GOD!

The scriptures are full of the admonishment/encouragement to stop being fearful.

Genesis 26:24: “…I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you…”

Isaiah 41:10: “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous hand.”

There are many, many more scriptures showing us that we do not need to fear. Do we need anything else? What security…you won’t get that anywhere else.

You’ll have:

Companionship in trial
Supplies in times of famine
Protection in peril
Strength when weak
Life beyond the grave
Everything you need

I think I’ll sign up with God in Christ…how about you?

Serving God vs. Satisfying God (by Assoc. Pastor Linda Pugsley)

10/13/2014

Be careful of anything that competes with your loyalty and devotion to Jesus Christ. And one of the greatest competitors of worship of Him is works for Him!

Ah, but you say, “God said that faith without works is dead”. Yes, but be careful because the devil wants you dead from exhaustion not exultation!

Are you more devoted to service than to Jesus? Only you can answer that question. Live to please God, and if you don’t know what pleases God, just ask Him. He’ll tell you:

• Obedience
• Prayer
• Praise
• Forgiveness
• Truth
• Purity
• Kindness
• Generosity
• Love
• Peace
• Patience
• And things such as these

(Hebrews 13:15-16; Proverbs 16:7; 1 Kings 3:9-14; 2 Corinthians 5:9)

Let us not only serve God, but also satisfy Him!

Standing In The Counsel of God (by Pastor Mark Parsons)

10/11/2014

God spoke through Jeremiah to the false prophets of Judah, His people, and proclaimed, “But who has stood in the counsel of the Lord, that he should see and hear His word? Who has given heed to His word and listened? (Jeremiah 23:18) God also tells us what is the outcome or outflow of those who humble themselves to receive His counsel. He says, “If they had stood in my counsel, then they would have announced my words to my people, and would have turned them back from their evil way and from the evil of their deeds.” (Jeremiah 23:22)

Paul certainly was a faithful and courageous man of God who received God’s counsel and boldly declared that, “I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose (counsel) of God.” (Acts 20:27) May you also be encouraged and emboldened to stand in God’s counsel and declare in His power the gospel of Jesus Christ in our world today.

Love Me Tender, Love Me True (by Assoc. Pastor Linda Pugsley)

10/6/2014

"Love me tender, love me true" were the words of one of the ballads sung long ago by Elvis Presley. As I was thinking on the words of that song, I could picture Jesus singing it to us…and hopefully, us singing it to Him!

But, in the real world of today, there is an awful lot of hate, murder, and barbarism going on. How can we then love those who are so full of evil; those who are bent on our destruction?

Jesus has the answer. He was a “grace dispensing machine”, and that is exactly what we must strive to be. Instead of being like a bug exterminator, spray-stomp-spray-stomp, when it comes to sin, we must be more like perfume in the room and bring the refreshing truth of a life in Jesus Christ. Jesus never condoned evil – He never turned a blind eye to it – but He was always ready to forgive it.

As was once said, “I really only love God as much as I love the person I love least”. Jesus honored the dignity of every single person, whether He agreed with them or not, and so must we. Do not let the constant struggle of today’s modern world put you into a divisive existence. Let the complete, pure, “agape” love of God rule in all you do. (John 15:12, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
