God’s Spirit on All Flesh

May 28, 2023 /

Pentecost is an amazing day in the life of the Church!

A day we celebrate when Jesus fulfilled His promise to send the Holy Spirit, pouring Him out “on all flesh,” reversing the curse of the Towel of Babel; joining believers in the Holy, united mission of the Gospel.

It is a day when the promise of salvation is promised for “everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord” for salvation!

What a wonderful day! What a wonderful celebration!

“Thank, You, Lord, and grant that Your Spirit, poured out on me, flows through me to ‘all flesh!’”

Scriptures

  • Psalm 25:1-15
  • Acts 2:1-21

Suffering for Christ

May 21, 2023 /

First Peter speaks a lot about suffering; the suffering of Jesus and suffering for the sake of Jesus.

Today is no different.

That doesn’t seem comforting or a reason to rejoice; but that is precisely what God tells us to do, for rejoicing in suffering leads to rejoicing in His glory!

That is the end goal: to share in His glory! To share in the blessedness that is to come. To share in the everlasting joy that is ours in and through faith in Jesus!

Knowing that is the ultimate outcome, it is far easier to endure the trials and sufferings – no matter how bad – for the sake of Jesus!

So we can endure suffering. We can live humbly. We can live sober lives. We can resist the devil. We can do it all, for the revealed glory everlasting!

Scriptures

  • 1 Peter 4:12-19
  • 1 Peter 5:6-11

“Loss Leader”

June 27, 2021 /

Some feel that when you become a Christian, everything becomes easy. Everything is happy. Everything is prosperous.

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing Your praise and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever!

Psalm 30:11-12

That is far from reality!

But the reality extends far further than the persistence of suffering for Christians. It is rooted in the One who sees us through them. Who supersedes them. Who has overcome them! Entrenched is the reality that such struggles are finite.

“Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” Psalm 30:5b
