Dear Ministers,
3/14/10
Today we celebrate communion and although each church has a different Sunday we have decided
to use the 2nd Sunday of each month. The Bible does not set a day but it does say that as oft as you drink you do
celebrate it to He comes. Jesus said he would not eat or drink until we ate with Him in Heaven. That is a long time
to diet! Rev 19 says that He will destroy the Antichrist with one word out of his mouth so Jesus will still be
in good shape.
In our sermon we are looking at Compassion and God gives
it to us by establishing peace in our life and making it possible for us to be right with God. You cannot have peace
with God without Christ and you cannot have peace with man without having peace with God. You need peace with God to
have the peace in your heart so you can have peace with men. You do not always respond with peace but you do respond with emotions
at times, instead of with your heart. Your heart is where the issues of life come from.
Tell people to hear Jesus and learn to listen to your heart instead of their mind or emotions for that is what will
lead them astray. When we stay focused on Jesus then we can clearly hear what God says to us, Jesus is the
vocie of God to us and God is well pleased with us because of the cross. I do pray that when you read these sermons
you will understand that God wants you to know him and to know His peace that He gives to you. It is so important to
understand that God is pleased with you and then you can be pleased with God for without knowing that God that is pleased
with you, then you will tend to find fault with your and others, but most importantly you will find fault with God.
Go in peace and and speak that God is pleased with you and that
you have peace with Him and it will produce righteousness and its work within you. Share this message with
others and then when you do you will find that God will give you rest to your soul and you will walk with praise and thanksgiving
because of the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Walk in the knowledge of God and His righteousness and see yourself not as
a sinner but as someone who cannot lose the holiness that God provided. My peace I give to you!
