“Father of Mercies”

Over the years of being in the ministry I have had some people approach me about how to hear the Lord speak.  So in this article I want to share one of the ways that I have taught some in the body of Christ about listening for the voice of the Lord.  

First of all, John 10:27 says “the sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me.”  There are some keys in this verse, and they are listening, hearing, and following. 

FINDING REST BY TAKING ON A YOKE                                                                      

THE GOD WHO LOVES AND PURSUES US

In 1st John, Chapter 3, he says “ Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the children of God.  Therefore, the world does not know us, because it did not know him”.

There’s a lot bouncing around in my head this week, so let’s dive right in.

The Great Rick Davis

Graduation is tomorrow, and as the school year comes to a close, there’s one name that keeps coming to mind: Rick Davis. After 30 years of teaching in Albany, Mr. Davis is retiring, and what a loss that is for our school.

When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. -John 21:9 (NIV)

God is the Center of Everything

Beatitudes (Part 1)

Text: Matt 5:1-5

1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

It must have been a fearsome day, the mourning of His death; as He who is without a flaw, the Author of all breath, submitted to the curse of man whose shrill and evil call to be like god, and worship self, still echoed from the fall; and would not tolerate the Light revealing truth to all.

So it was fixed in human hearts to silence God’s own Word; proclaiming man the better part, as pride of life was stirred.

He Lives

It is so easy to get our priorities out of order. Holy Week should be a time to focus in on what Jesus did for us and what His resurrection means. But too often the season becomes commercialized with eggs and baskets and bunnies, forgetting the tremendous sacrifice Jesus made on the cross.
