Holy Saturday….Black Saturday…. On our journey with Jesus we come to Saturday, which very well would have been the most hopeless day for those who loved and followed Jesus. Yes, Good Friday was bad, but I believe deep down Jesus followers believed He would somehow take Himself off the cross. Their hope is now shattered. Do you think as they gathered a mourned together some … Continue reading Journey to the Cross: Day 7: Saturday
Maundy Thursday, the day we celebrate the last supper. It is also day 5 of Holy Week where not only the last supper took place, but the night Jesus was betrayed and arrested. There is so much material to cover here. I cannot adequately cover such a monumental day. I have included some links so that you may examine many aspects of this day on … Continue reading Journey to the Cross: Day 5: Maundy Thursday
Today is day four in our journey. This is the day my heart usually starts to ache for Jesus. Like Jesus, we too know, what is coming; yet how can we possibly understand? Today, Wednesday, is a little bit lighter for Jesus. For a run down on what was done this day, take a look at Mark 14: 1-9: 14 After two days it … Continue reading Journey To The Cross: Day 4: Holy Wednesday
Thank you for joining us today as we retrace the last steps of Jesus. Holy Tuesday was a very busy day for Jesus. The bulk of His final teachings come on this day. So much teaching, I will not be able to cover all of it here. I have added links to my posts in an old series I wrote on Holy Week. I encourage … Continue reading Journey to the Cross: Day 3: Holy Tuesday
Today, this Thankful Thursday, I am grateful for God’s gentle reminders/nudges. Have you ever been approached by a stranger asking for money and you are not sure what to do? After all, you don’t want to be gullible and fall victim to a con man, right? I faced this dilemma earlier this week…in a sort of amusing way. I was out grocery shopping. I was … Continue reading Sometimes We Have to Feed the Greedy To Reach the Truly Needy
We have been learning how to get a keep a Godly mindset in 2017. We have learned about being positive, choosing peace, and daring to hope. Today, I want us to ask ourselves, “Am I grateful for the things I have?” Do my thoughts and actions show an attitude and heart of thanks or am I filled with complaints and hurts? Colossians 2:6-7 Therefore as you … Continue reading Have an Attitude of Gratitude (Getting and Keeping a Godly Mindset: Day 4 of 4)
If God assessed your life right now, would He call you loving? Biblical love is the utmost importance to God. Our lives are measured by our love: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all … Continue reading The Crazy Love Test
Do you really want saved from your sins or are you just merely looking to be saved from the punishment of your sins? Sadly, I think I know how the majority would answer. We don’t want to go to hell, but, man, we sure do love our sins. We say we want Jesus, but what we really want is to keep doing what we are doing but … Continue reading Do You Really Want Saved From Your Sins?
Has God laid a dream on your heart, shown you your greater purpose, but you are still waiting…and waiting….and waiting? Do you feel like giving up? Do you wonder if you heard God right? Are you wondering if it is ever going to happen? I would love to give you some uplifting,”keep the faith” kind of message, but that is just not how I … Continue reading Is Laziness Keeping You From Your Purpose?
So, today we are talking Giants. We all have them. We all fight them. But some of us are not even sure what “giants” are, making it kind of difficult to fight these unknown monsters effectively. Giants, back in the day of David, were really large people…giants (yep, that was helpful). Most of us are familiar with one specific giant…Goliath. In 1 Samuel 17, … Continue reading What are Modern-Day Giants?
