Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17
This scripture expresses deeply in our hearts the realization of “Change". The Word change can also be defined as "transformation", which one can and should conclude that there is a total difference in a person once they are transformed.

The Thought Of Loneliness
Wednesday Sep 17, 2014
Wednesday Sep 17, 2014
Text: Psalm 22:1-2; Matthew 27:46
The Grace of God is abundant for our lives. Reading and listening to these powerful words in Scripture brings thoughts of abandonment, desertion, and rejection. These words amply describe loneliness, which in turn brings emotion pain and confusion.
Often time loneliness can be situational and not permanent! Also, conditional with duty coupled with a sense of abandonment.
In either case or other circumstances that can cause loneliness, an abrupt shudder races through your soul! Questions begin to be asked in your bruised heart and the mind becomes sharp and thoughtful.

Hebrews 12:1-3; Psalm 78:4;4:6-7
This text begins with a reference to the great chapter of “Faith”, Hebrews 11. Those who had lived through so much to continue forward in God’s Kingdom. Forsaking so much that they would love to have to accept what was better and that was God’s direction and His Truth.
Not changing the plan God had made to fit their own plans nor building off their own rules and cloaking them as though they were Gods. These great people of “Faith” believed God and His commands to gain what they could not yet see!
Sin Defined: The Bible describes sin as the breaking, or transgression, of God's law (1 John 3:4). It is also defined as disobedience or rebellion against God (Deuteronomy 9:7), as well as independence from God. The original translation means "to miss the mark" of God's holy standard of righteousness.

Baptism: Obedience Revealed
Saturday Jan 25, 2014
Saturday Jan 25, 2014
Text: Mark 3:13-17; Romans 6:3-5
Revealed through an outward act that reveals inward change. The statement of action reveals the source of our salvation through Christ Jesus. One that is baptized is stating: 'I am dying to self inside that I may make a statement of life on the outside.'
What this signifies is that you believe in your salvation so deeply and truly that you realize the act of baptism is testifying of your death and now resurrection to life through Christ! Grace has been applied to your life so you may live that life assured of your salvation and your future hope in Christ Jesus. Your obedience is revealed in such a way that you identify with the glory of Jesus and His Resurrection and the gift that you have: Eternal Salvation!

Text: Ephesians 1:7; Mathew 20:28
Redemption: Saving, freeing from sin, absolution (forgiveness, pardon, Freedom).
Grace: Unmerited favor; Love = Grace; Grace = Love
As Christians, believers in His saving Grace and His redeeming power, we should never forget these words! When the storms blend into life like the colors of a sunset we need to hang on to the promise of God! Not to give in to sin and temptation but too give Him praise!
Remaining in Him daily through His Grace we can join with Paul and say we trust that His Grace is sufficient! We will rejoice in that!

Sin: The Great Disconnect
Tuesday Jan 07, 2014
Tuesday Jan 07, 2014
Text: Genesis 2:15-17; Genesis 3
Sin brings a disconnection with God through disobedience to His commands.
➢ Grace: God’s mercy shown when it is not deserved.
➢ Grace: Favor of the Lord given when there should be judgment bestowed.
➢ Grace: Gives us the unmerited favor we need to have a relationship, friendship, and reconciliation with God.
Grace enables us to receive from God the unmerited favor and gives us a connection again to Him for eternity.
➢ We must though, reconnect through Him who first loved us!
➢ We must abandon this world and its lusts and lies!
➢ We must do the will of the Father!
