Sunday Scripture

‘Twas 10 days before Christmas, and our Lead Pastor Bob delivered a Christmas sermon on “Why Christmas Has Lights”. He led us on how the “Season Of Light” got its start. Our Christmas tree was the backdrop of his sermon.

Living Waters Christmas Tree 2019

The Word gave life to everything that was created, and His life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. (John 1:4-5 NLT)

God created light. God is light. Light and life are renewed through Jesus Christ.

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow Me – you won’t have to walk in darkness – because you will have the light that leads to life.” (John 8:12 NLT)

Christ’s light brings salvation to the whole world – if you believe – if you follow Him.

You are the light of the world – like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. (Matthew 5:14 NLT)

Go forth my brothers and sisters, and be the light in the darkness of the world.

Sunday Scripture

Today with my church body we praised and worshiped our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, and we shared testimonies of God’s Good News.

Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good !  His faithful love endures forever. Has the LORD redeemed you ?  Then speak out !  Tell others He has redeemed you from your enemies. (Psalm 107:1-2)

Our Lead Pastor Bob preached on “Sin: Path To Heaven ?”  We are all sinners; however …

Even before He made the world – God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This is what He wanted to do, and it gave Him great pleasure. (Ephesians 1:4-5)

My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2009

Every Friday I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from either 10, 15, 20, or 30 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).

It’s the 1ST Friday of the month, so I go back 10 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday December 06TH 2009:

  1. “Trying” – Eleventyseven
  2. “Rolling With The Punches” – Ruth
  3. “City On Our Knees” – TobyMac
  4. “Breathing For Me” – Everyday Sunday
  5. “Broken Man” – Horizons Fall

Check that out – an early TobyMac song on my chart – and a really good one too. That was actually Toby’s 3RD hit on my chart – following the # 1 smash “Made To Love” and “Boomin'”. I had my research department (me) go even further back in time to November of 1996. That’s when TobyMac really charted for the first time – along with Michael Tait and Kevin Max. Together they were dc Talk, and they scored with a Christian # 1 smash that crossed-over onto Secular Top 40 and Adult Contemporary radio stations – “(Just) Between You And Me”. It spent a single week on my chart at # 28.

It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with two more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thanks for going RETRO with me !
