Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday January 12TH 2025, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate this great new day of believing, following, trusting, loving, and being more like our Lord + Savior Jesus Christ. Let us love our neighbor as ourself.

I’m waking-up in Sebring Florida this morning, but I’ll be 180 miles away in Homestead Florida by 10 AM. I’ll be at my former home church of 9 years (2015-2024). I’ll be filling-in for the Pastor this morning. I’ll be leading Praise & Worship with 3 music videos – “The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours)” from Matt Maher, “Nobody (But Jesus)” from Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West, and “Praise The Lord” from Micah Tyler. I’ve used all 3 of these songs before, and they are favorites with the church body. My sermon this morning is titled “Solomon & Wisdom”, and it’s all about the early part of King Solomon’s 40-year reign on the united Kingdom of Israel with his God-given wisdom. I’m looking forward to preaching it to my brothers and sisters.

I got the call to preach this past Tuesday afternoon, and naturally I accepted it. I had a half-written sermon that I actually started writing over 5 months ago. It kind of stalled out after a few months, and I started writing another sermon (which is less than a quarter-written). Hurricanes and holidays disrupted my sermon-writing process. And then Men’s Fellowship occurred this past Tuesday night at my home church here in Sebring, and I was blessed with the Scripture that our Pastor led with (Proverbs 3:5-7) and the group discussion that complemented it. I went home immediately after that and began writing the second-half of my sermon on King Solomon. I finished it on Thursday morning.

Our God is great, and I need His wisdom in everything I do and everywhere I go. Without God – there is no wisdom. God created wisdom. God is wisdom.

My testimony is featured each week here on #SundayScripture – whether it’s part of a sermon, a testimony, or just me writing about the events of the past week. Hopefully it encourages you and inspires you to seek the Lord – and get closer to Him with each new day.

If you wish to learn more about the God I know – then stay tuned to #SundayScripture. The best is yet to come !

Thank you for reading my blog for this day, and may:

The LORD bless you, and keep you.
The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.
