Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday February 16TH 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 finally finished my sermon for next Sunday (including PowerPoint Presentation) titled “63 & 34”. It’s all about God’s guidance, direction, wisdom, and voice – through the storm. When the manmade noise is silenced all around – you can hear His whispers. It’s a great time to talk to Him. It’s a perfect time to listen from Him.

One of my favorite two verses of Scripture are featured in my sermon – Philippians 4:6-7.

Now that “63 & 34” is done – I’m looking ahead to see what I want to write and preach about next. A verse-by-verse series of sermons on one of Paul’s letters is very likely. First Timothy is a leading contender.

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.

Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday February 09TH 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.

What a weird week it was, but it’s wrapping-up nicely.

I got the “3-day flu” on Monday night. It came out of nowhere, and it hit me like a rock in the head – specifically from behind my right nostril to behind my right eye (sinus infection). I had nearly all of the classic symptoms (aside from fever). I was pretty much out-of-commission on Tuesday (the worst day), Wednesday (starting to feel a little better), and Thursday (starting to feel closer to normal). And then by Friday I was totally back to normal with an unusual amount of energy (after having lost at least 6 pounds of body weight over the previous days). Saturday was another high-energy day of great productivity.

He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. (Psalm 103:3 NLT)

Over the past few days I’ve been able to write the final third of my upcoming sermon titled “63 & 34”. I’m currently working on the PowerPoint Presentation that supplements it. I’ll be preaching it down south at my former home church in Homestead Florida 2 weeks from today. I’ll explain the significance of the title on that Sunday morning both here and there.

Today at Highlands Community Church our Senior Pastor’s sermon will be based on Revelation 2:18-29 NASB – God’s Message to the angel of the church in Thyatira. This is where Christ writes about the false prophet Jezebel. It’s the only place in the New Testament where Jezebel is written. (This is a different Jezebel than the original Old Testament Jezebel – wife of King Ahab.) You can watch the entire service from Praise & Worship to Closing Prayer via our Facebook page. It starts LIVE at 10:30 AM U.S. East Coast time.

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.

GRACEFULLY BROKEN – It was my favorite song on the radio exactly 7 years ago, and I still love it today.
