Greetings my friends. It is Sunday November 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.
Today after our Sunday morning gathering – we’ll be enjoying our potluck luncheon. We usually have it on the 5TH Sunday of the month, and that occurs 4 (sometimes 5) times a year.
That’s something that we rarely did at my first two churches in Homestead – gather together at the church after service to enjoy food and fellowship together as a family. I really like that we do it at my current home church. It’s a great time to sit and connect with brothers and sisters who you don’t get to talk with much on typical Sundays. It’s a great time to learn more about each other. The more you know about each other – the more you care and pray for each other.
3 weeks ago I began transcribing my sermon titled “Apostle & Elder”. I preached it to my second church family on Sunday October 18TH 2020.
Here’s Part 4:
John continues – on why the truth and love is so important to him, and why it must be important to us as well:
I say this because many deceivers have gone out into the world. They deny that Jesus Christ came in a real body. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist. (2 John 1:7)
Sounds like a lot of people today in this world and of this world. There are false teachers everywhere. They deny that Christ came in a real body. They mislead believers. They distract believers. They try to pull them away from God and His Kingdom.
There are even false teachers inside church buildings today. You must verify what you hear from a teacher – from a preacher – from a pastor – from a televangelist. You must verify what you hear with God’s Truth. If it doesn’t sound right to you – then verify it with God’s Truth. God’s Truth is flawless. God’s Truth is the Word.
In the latter portion of the Gospel Of Matthew Jesus predicts future events. In red letters:
Jesus told them, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in My name – claiming – ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many. (24:4-5)
Don’t be deceived by the imposters who pretend to know Christ – when they don’t. Or if they do know Him they intentionally say things that aren’t the Truth.
In the next few verses of Matthew – in red letters – Christ speaks of wars and threats of wars and famines and earthquakes. Sounds like 2020. Don’t be overwhelmed by these events. They will come and go. This is not the end, but the end is near.
Don’t follow the false prophets and the miracle workers who claim they are the Messiah. Jesus Christ is the One and Only Messiah !
[TO BE CONTINUED – NEXT WEEK]
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.
