How Walking in Love is Key to Keeping the Ten Commandments

Today the filled room at tenant association J2 apt. was full.  

Everyone was excited about the revisiting of Moses (Marcus) and his teaching about the Ten Commandments.  He taught in a way that was right on yet doused it with some humor, and I was so proud of him.  

We now have a few of the people for whom I have been praying attend, and I believe it’s because Marcus connects with them on a level I can’t.  I could look around and see the relationships God has given me the opportunity to build outside the home church environment come to fruition as Marcus shares his talents with them each time we meet.  

After sharing the Ten Commandments, he then shared Jesus’ one great commandment.  I felt as though everyone there was beginning to see that when we walk a life of love, obeying the Ten Commandments is so much easier.

Celebrating the Life of Gertrude Troutman

Gertrude Troutman, a pillar of our ministry, went to be with our Lord on Thursday, June 12.  She graciously invited us into her home for our first home church group and always made everyone feel welcome.  Please pray for her family as they grieve the loss of their very special loved one.

It Is Finished

There’s not much more to say than this.

It is finished.

But we’re not finished.

He’s not done with us.

What He started when it was finished…

He’s still working that into our lives.

He’s still showing us and teaching us that what He accomplished…

…the thing He finished

The destruction of sin and death.

The taking on of all of our sin and all of our pain and suffering.

He’s still teaching us that it really happened.

May we give Him what He’s already taken and destroyed…

Our sin.

Our suffering.

Our unforgiveness.

Our hurt.

Our selfishness.

Our lack of faith.

Our fear.

 

 

 

How Many Times?

It's Not How Many Times You've Done Something... It's How Many Times HE Did Something
It’s Not How Many Times You Did Something… It’s How Many Times HE Did Something

Have you ever done the same thing over and over again till you finally believe that it’s just one time too many, and you cannot in all “honesty” participate in God’s forgiveness.

You tell God, “I know that you say you will forgive 70×7, but I passed that a long time ago.  I have prayed, and I still mess up.  I love you, I really do – but I still mess up!  I don’t deserve You, so I’m just not gonna ask for your forgiveness again!”

Oh but the good news is this – JESUS CAME!
The good news is this – JESUS DIED!
And the GOOD NEWS IS THIS – JESUS ROSE!
In the upper room, He said, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” (Matthew 26:28)
What is that sin you are trying so hard to deal with?
it is covered by the blood of Jesus.  Bring it to Him again, and KNOW that you are His.  He loves you enough to hang in there and bring victory to your life!
It’s not how many times you’ve done something. It’s how many times He’s done something. It took him one time to forgive us. We just need to be reminded. 

 

New Year, Greater Vision

by

It would be wrong to say ‘new year, new vision’, because we still want to reach the communities that surround our home churches. We also want to continue to equip our members and others to share the gospel using their special, specific, and unique gifts.

But we always want to grow. Part of growth is having greater vision.

What do we mean by ‘greater vision’?

Greater Clarity: We want to better define the things we do to serve the people we serve. We want what we do to come under who we are and what God has called us to.

Greater Impact: We want to have deeper impact into our communities. Through better understanding the needs, fears, and hopes of our communities, we can better meet people where they are and impact them more.
