God's Word is Ever Faithful

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."--John 1:1
Sunday’s gives the opportunity for each of us to praise and worship God. We give him thanks for the many blessings he has bestowed upon each of us this week. God continues to bless us as we have an opportunity here today to make a fresh start, for this is a day that the Lord has made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it for it is a day of fresh starts and the prospect of new beginnings. We should begin each day with prayer because each day is a new beginning with its own opportunities. Right now, at this very moment, we are in the presence of a mighty and merciful God and has given each of us the possibility of making a new start in life. Seasons come and go, yet God's presence is ever faithful. No moment from the past can cloud the vision that God has for us. With God, all things truly are possible, and we must trust in God to guide us into a new and prosperous way of living our lives. We must first share our dreams and goals with God in prayer, and then allow his divine wisdom define them.

This is why I center myself in the presence of God during the time of prayer. God has provided us with all that we will ever need to live lives that he has destined for us. We are free to learn, and we are free to teach, and we are free to love one another and to be loved. We are free to live meaningful lives and to add meaning to the lives of others that they may see the light that God has placed in us. God’s love, mercy, power and grace has no limitation. God will open a greater understanding to his power and presence within you. There is nothing in all creation that exists outside the presence of God or that can separate you from the love of God.

When we study the life of Joseph we see God at work. Joseph was a young man favored by his Father, he had prophetic dreams, and was hated by his brothers, his brothers sold him into slavery, he was falsely arrested and sent to prison, he gained friends and favor in prison but was forgotten, he was able to interpret the king's dream, and was blessed as God promised in his dreams. Through all of this Joseph remained faithful to God and his word. The challenge for us, like Joseph is to let go of the flesh and let go of perceptions that we may have formed about the people in our lives. We must give those who do not know God, the opportunity to see the light he has planted in each of us. We must trust that God is using us to guide those who do not know him his word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." God is forever faithful to us! AMEN.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

Isaiah 46:3-4 Listen to me...you whom I have upheld since you were conceived, and have carried since your birth. Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you. I found this illustration for Father’s Day. It is the story of Derek Redmond, a star runner in the 1992 Olympics. Derek was competing for the medal in the 400 meter race. Less than half-way through, he ripped a hamstring muscle and fell to the ground in agony. While the rest of the runners moved past him, Derek managed to get to his feet and began struggling to move forward. Then something caught the attention of the television cameras. Jim, his father, ran past security and onto the race track. At first Derek shrugged him away, saying, "I'm going to finish the race." Jim said to his son, "We've started everything together. We'll finish this together." He put his arm around his son and held him as they crossed the finish line together. ...

RUNNING FOR JESUS THIS MORNING

Galatians 2:20 20I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Back in Africa, when the sun comes up all the animals are running! It does not matter whether you are the Mightiest of Lions or Weakest of Gazelles, when the sun comes up all the animals are running. For the mightiest of Lions understands that if he does not run faster than the weakest of Gazelles, he may starve and die today. The weakest of Gazelles understands that is he does not run faster that the mightiest of Lions, he will become the Lion’s meal and die today. You see my Brothers and Sisters, when the sun comes up in Africa ALL the animals are running the marathon of life! It is the same way for us as Christians. When the sun comes up we all better be running for Jesus! Doesn’t matter whether you are the Bishop, Pastor, Deacon or Member when the sun comes up this day we should be rejo...
