Greetings my friends. It is Sunday May 30TH 2021, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us continue to celebrate our living Lord & Savior Jesus Christ – and all that He has done for us.

There’s a great new song on the radio from family band Cain. It’s titled “Yes He Can”. It’s about our almighty God. He moved every mountain. He parted every sea. He defeated the darkness. He delivered me. Yes He did. So Yes He can.

♫ Sometimes those voices try to tell me
I’m forgotten, and I’ve fallen
Too far from His hands
But I know what kind of God He is
And I’m trusting in His promises
I’m believing
And I’m singing
Yes He can ♫

Don’t believe those voices that tell you otherwise. It was a mere 15 years ago that I didn’t who God was – and is. I was far from Him. But He reached out for me, and I accepted Him as my rescuer – as my savior – as my Lord – as my God.

I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,
and He turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair –
out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground,
and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing –
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what He has done and be amazed.
They will put their trust in the Lord.
(Psalm 40:1-3 NLT)

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.

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday May 16TH 2021, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us continue to move forward towards the bright light of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.

This weekend I hope to finish writing my next sermon that I hope to preach to my church family in the coming weeks on the good Kings Uzziah and Jotham of the land of Judah. They were Father and Son, and they were even Kings at the same time – sharing a coregency for about 11 years. I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned about them from the Bible.

I also want to get started on writing my next sermon after that – tentatively titled “Salvation & Hope”.

“Well there you go again Reverend Chris – preaching about that salvation !”

My next sermon after next will begin a new message series on the Apostle Peter – starting with his first letter. The first 12 verses are all about salvation from Christ, and how great it is.

This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you. (1 Peter 1:10 NLT)

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.

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday May 09TH 2021, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ and all that He has done for us.

From Proverbs 31:25-31 – “A Virtuous And Capable Wife” – and as the Bible says:

She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.
When she speaks – her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.
She carefully watches everything in her household, and suffers nothing from laziness.
Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her:
“There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all !”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last. But a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised.
Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

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.

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday May 02ND 2021, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us get closer to Christ our Savior than we were yesterday.

Last Sunday I wrote about having “writer’s block”. Soon after praying for God’s wisdom – I wrote a new sermon on two good Kings of Judah from the Old Testament. It’ll be my next sermon to preach to my church family in a few weeks.

This morning I’m preaching my sermon on Simon Peter’s denials and restoration. It’ll also serve as a wrap-up of John’s Gospel. My half-year program of reading, studying, writing, and preaching from John’s Gospel officially comes to a close with this sermon.

This will be my 40TH sermon to my church family over the past 4½ years. Today I’ll be preaching via a manner somewhat differently than I have previously. I’m a little nervous about it. Hopefully everything works out well with this modernized method. If so then it’s my way forward for future sermons (and communions).

Lately our Pastor has been delivering some amazing and powerful sermons on how great our God is. They’ve been longer-than-normal sermons too – with lots of slides via PowerPoint. I’m talking over 100 “quick-flipping” slides !

My sermon today will be of normal length – about 30 to 35 minutes – accompanied with about a dozen slides via PowerPoint.

Here’s what one of those slides will show:

Suddenly – Jesus’ words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the rooster crows – you will deny three times that you even know Me.” And he went away – weeping bitterly. (Matthew 26:75)

Once the rooster crowed – Peter realized what had happened. When Jesus told Peter that he will deny Him 3 times that night – before the rooster crows – Peter was astonished that Jesus would say such a terrible thing. “Why would you say something like that ?” And then it happened. And Peter realized that Jesus was really in control. And Peter left the courtyard. He went away – weeping bitterly.

I then compare Peter’s denials of Jesus with Judas’ betrayal of Jesus.

I’m looking forward to sharing with my church family what God has placed on my heart with this message.

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.
