Mid-Week Message - The Most Important Thing

 "Look!  He comes with the clouds of heaven.  And everyone will see him - even those who pierced him.  And all the nations of the world will mourn for him.  Yes!  Amen!"  Revelation 1:7  (NLT)

If the Lord sent a message from Heaven that clued us in on when Jesus would return, how would we handle that news?  As Christians, we believe He is returning, but somehow that day always seems far off.  

So, I ask you, if that date were one hundred years from today, would anything change?  Almost all of us will have passed away from this earthly life by that time, and we know we will not live that long, so would we do anything different?  Would we seek out anyone to share the Good News?  Or would we think that the time is so far in the future that we have plenty of time?  No, we won't be alive by then but what about our grandchildren or great-grandchildren?  Is there anything that we would want to leave behind for them to find that would give testimony to our belief in Christ?  

One hundred years does seem far away, so suppose the time of His returning was fifty years from today?  Still, many of us will no longer be present here, but our children may.  Do we assume that we have set a good enough example for them to follow?  What do they see as they watch us navigating these days?  Are we truly living the faith we profess?  Would we make needed alterations in our lifestyles today or would we count on having plenty more years to do so?  Are we confident that there will be time before our deaths to seek forgiveness from those we have wronged and to reach out to those we know have not accepted Jesus as their Savior?  

If we knew that in twenty years we would see Him return in the clouds, would we be willing to "go and make disciples of all nations?"  Could we find it within ourselves to leave comfort behind so that others might believe in Him and repent of their sins?  If we were not able to go to other lands, would we be willing to walk across the street?  Could we take a Bible and proclaim the Truth on the street corners?  Would twenty years investing in the lives around us feel like too much, or not enough?  

Ten years is a much shorter time than the hundred years we began with.  Even ten years can feel like a lengthy time when we have so many responsibilities and goals to accomplish.  How many of those ten years would we be willing to invest in sharing the Gospel?  How much more time would we spend with our families and friends to be sure they had a personal relationship with the Savior?  

If five years from today was the day that we would see Him face to face, how would we prepare?  Would we examine our lives and begin to remove from our surroundings those things that we would not want to be found with?  Would we stop listening to questionable music and watching movies that contained material that we would be embarrassed for Him to see us watching?  Would we begin to spend more time with our Bibles and less time discussing sports scores?  What would become most important?  

I'm sure we would all be making some big changes if we knew the date was only one year away.  We would definitely see the days counting down and begin to feel the urgency.  At least I hope we would.  

And what if that day was tomorrow?  Would you be ready?  Would you be trying to witness to everyone you could or would you hole up in your home with your family and just wait?  

I know that this message is different from what I usually write.  But, as Matthew 24:36 tells us, "However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself.  Only the Father knows."  So, in reality, He could return at any of these times or in ten minutes from now.  

What we do at this very moment needs to matter for eternity's sake.  While we may think we have plenty of time, we cannot know that for sure.  Not only might He return at any time, but our own lives might end at any time.  You cannot take for granted that everyone you know will lay their head upon a pillow tonight.  They need to hear about Jesus.  As do our neighbors, those who work for us, people we meet in public and even the poor homeless folks that we turn our heads away from when we see them on the street.  We are all made in the image of God and He loves us all.  The task He left us with was to tell everyone about Him.  No matter how much time we have left, that is the most important thing.

Sunday Praise & Worship Message - Thankful for the Fourth Kernel

According to the legend of the Five Kernels of Corn, the Pilgrims would reflect on the fourth kernel. It reminded each of the Pilgrims of that precious gift of those who loved them. Family, old friends and their new friends, the American Indians, were among those precious loved ones who showed their love daily.

As we sit at our tables, it is so important to be thankful for those who love us, but it is equally important to be the ones who love others. In order to be loved, we must truly express love to others deeply.

In the movie, “The Great Dictator”, Charlie Chaplin, in what is considered by most as one of the best speeches of all time, said, “You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!”

Look very closely at what he says about those who are unloved. “Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!” If you are loved, you cannot help but return that love to others. It is virtually impossible for you not to love others especially when others express their love for you.

Think about it in this way. It is often said that smiling is contagious. If one person smiles, everyone smiles. When one person laughs, everyone laughs as well. Good feelings, like love, are the same way. When we give love, we receive love. Whether you give or receive love, you receive a gift and are blessed.

In chapter four of his first epistle, Peter writes, “Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.

Peter uses a phrase, “deep love”, to show that our love for one another cannot be a superficial love. We tend to use the word love in so many ways. We will say that we love a good book or that we love chocolate cake.

The Greeks have three different words for love. Each carries a different sort of meaning. The most profound and deepest of the words is “agape”. Agape refers to unconditional love. It is the highest form of love and charity. That word is used exclusively in the Bible when referring to God’s love for us. 

In the third chapter of the Gospel of John, John writes, “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

It is that type of love that we should have for one another. That deep love that can cover a multitude of sins. It is that sort of love that God has for each of us. He loved us so much that He gave his son as our sacrifice to fulfill the needs of the Mosaic law. Jesus, out of love for us, took on the sins of the world and paid our debt. When he did that, the law was fulfilled and each of us received that precious gift of eternal life. That gift is given to each of us freely and out of love. All we have to do is receive it.

God’s love for us is that something that we share with others. Peter, when talking about that “deep love”, tells us that we must do the same. We must love unconditionally and out of charity for all. When we love in that way, we can forgive those around us. As we forgive, we come together as a family. As a family, we help one another.

Peter writes, in chapter one of his first epistle, “You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart.

When we accept God’s gift of his love as expressed through the sacrifice of his son, Christ Jesus, we are not only cleansed of our sins but we also have a holy obligation to sincerely love all those who are brothers and sisters. Peter refers to that “deep love” and tells us that it comes from the whole of our hearts.

In order for us to truly love unconditionally, it must be done with all of our hearts. It is not enough to simply say the word, love, to tell them how much they mean to us. We must show them daily how much we truly love them. By being understanding and honest with them, we show others love. By helping them when they have needs, we show others love. By just being there, we show others love.

As we show love to others, we receive love in return. In short, the more you put in; the more you get out. Love is just that way. When love is returned to you, it pays a massive dividend. As you feel that love, you want to give even more to those around you.

When you sit with your family at the Thanksgiving table either physically or virtually, tell them how much you love them and they will bless you by telling you how much they love you. By remembering the blessings of being loved, we see the love of our Heavenly Father manifested in this world. As we deeply love one another, we can stand firm in His grace.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

Sunday Praise & Worship Message - Thankful for the Third Kernel

After suffering through unimaginable hardship the likes that many had never seen or even had to endure, the Pilgrims were helped by their new friends, the Wampanoag Nation. This tribe of Native Americans helped the haggard newcomers to this land survive their first bitter winter. If it weren’t for them, things would have been so different. These new friends, provided by God, and the Pilgrims, took the first steps in building a great nation.

The third kernel on the Pilgrims’ plates reminds us of the friends that God has provided us. Friends, especially close friends, help in times of need and are there to lend an ear, a hand or a shoulder when needed.

In chapter twenty-seven of the Book of Proverbs, the author writes, “The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.

When we need help and guidance, going to close friends is the first step in working through a problem. Seeking counsel, especially the counsel of a good friend, helps get us through the problem. They may not have an answer, but their words of encouragement provide us with the strength to face our problems. The other thing that friends, especially Christian friends do, is that they pray with us.     

When we get into situations that seem so insurmountable, we sometimes forget about our faith. It is so easy to do. Our minds are off elsewhere and we are thinking about everything else and wondering “what if”. Our faith becomes something that we push down our list of priorities and we tend to only see the problem and we try to work the problems on our own. 

When we feel that we are at our wits’ end, that is when we stop for a moment and ask for guidance. A close Christian friend is a blessing and a Godsend to us. We can go to them for help and guidance. We can pray together and seek God’s wisdom in dealing with the issues in our lives. A friend helps us take that first step back to our faith.

Jesus, in chapter eighteen, tells us, “For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.

So, when we come together as followers and friends, Jesus is right there with us and providing us with the strength and help that we desperately need. It is one of the most powerful moments we can share as Christians. The gates of hell itself cannot prevail against this gathering. 

Jesus, in the same chapter just a little earlier, says this to us, “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.

So, you see a friend is a very wonderful gift from the Father especially when that friend is a Christian friend. As brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, we have an awesome responsibility to build up and encourage our friends in their times of need.

For example, the pandemic has been the source of not only death but also loneliness, depression and even suicide. It is only through friendship that people are able to get through these tough times.

Dale Carnegie once said, “Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.”

It has been 400 years since that very first Thanksgiving. Two groups of people with different languages and backgrounds came together to celebrate not only the blessings of a bountiful harvest but also the blessings of friendship.  

So, as you celebrate Thanksgiving with your family and friends, thank God for the blessings of a strong friendship. Friends are indeed a gift straight from the heart and hand of God. 

The author of Ecclesiastes writes, in chapter four, this about companionship, “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.

Friends can do so much when they work together. They can support one another during times of adversity, pray for one another in hardship and celebrate the blessings from Father God during the good times.

By being a good friend to those in need, you will be blessed and be able to stand firm in His grace.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

Sunday Praise & Worship Message - Thankful for the Second Kernel

According to a simple story about the Pilgrims’ first Thanksgiving feast, every plate had five kernels of corn to remind them of the hardship that they endured. Each kernel had a specific meaning associated with it. The second kernel reminded them that God provides for all of their needs. 

There are a couple of things to realize when you think about what the Pilgrims went through. Their crops had failed and they faced a brutal winter with little to no food. Some saw their neighbors, friends and even members of their families succumb to the cold and hunger. But, they, as a family of faith grounded in the teaching of Jesus Christ and strengthened by their devotion to Father God, continued to meet each day with hope. They knew that God would provide for all of their needs.

As Jesus reminds us, we do not live by bread alone. We live and are sustained by the Word of God. He provides our spiritual food daily. It is only through this living bread that we are able to meet the spiritual challenges of each day with courage.

But, you are thinking to yourself about the failed crops. You are wondering whether or not God provided for their physical needs. They had meager supplies. God did provide for their basic needs. Did they have caviar and Beef Wellington at every meal? No. They didn’t. God provides for our needs. We don’t always get our desires. 

Think about it. Many will ask God for a car. Some will ask for something fancy or even a good used car. But, in the end, what they really need is transportation. God may provide, according to His will and provision, a rideshare as a means of transportation. In providing that, He has taken care of your need for transportation and has given you an opportunity to share your faith with someone who is going through hardship and needs the Word of God as their spiritual food.

During my life, I have seen and experienced this very situation. My family and I have wondered why we were in the middle of some massive problem. We would pray for one thing and receive something else. At the time, we thought that what God had provided was meant for someone else or we just didn’t understand what He provided. Our next prayers were not for a different gift and blessing. Our prayers were for wisdom and help in understanding the gift and blessing. 

James, in chapter one of his book, writes, “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.

God will never rebuke you or wonder why you are asking for wisdom. It is only through wisdom that we can strengthen and grow in our faith. Wisdom helps us to mature and learn to endure hardship. In short, it builds character and a Christ-like attitude.

James further writes in chapter one, “But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.

As Christians, we know that God is always faithful and that he loves his children. It is not enough to just say the words or mouth them without being grounded in His word and love. We must have faith in Him at all times. We cannot just simply pick and choose when or if we are to have faith. Faith for each of us must be constant and it can never be set aside. 

Does that mean our faith will not waver a bit? I can assure you that it will, but that is when we need to go to the Father and ask Him for guidance. As James eloquently points out, God will not rebuke you when you ask for wisdom. It is only through wisdom that we understand and know that God is in control and is guiding our every step. With that wisdom firmly implanted in our hearts, minds and spirits, we are able to endure those crisis moments and know that He will always provide for our needs. 

In my times of trouble, I find myself reading the beautiful words of Psalm eighteen. It provides the courage I need to endure whatever besets me and overcome the entanglements of this world.

The psalmist writes, “I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.

You can easily see that God is everything to each of us. He provides safety in times of trouble. He is that firm anchor when we are tossed and turned on a sea of heartache and misery. He is that shield to protect us against the slings and arrows of our enemy. He is our refuge and, most importantly, our strength. 

Paul, in chapter eight of his letter to the church at Rome, writes, “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?

God is totally and completely for us and has proven that by giving his son as the sacrifice for our sins. There should not be a question in your mind regarding God’s devotion to his children. He has called all to accept that gift of salvation and he has provided the perfect lamb as our atonement sacrifice. 

When God asked Abraham to sacrifice his one and only son, Isaac, on an altar, Abraham, because of his faith, did as he was told. Just as he was about to sacrifice his son, God stopped him. Abraham proved his faith in God. God, in return, provided a ram to sacrifice on the altar. 

Abraham, in chapter twenty-two of the Book of Genesis, names the place where God provided the ram as “Yahweh-Yireh”. In the Christian anglicized vocalization of this name, we say, “Jehovah-jireh”, the Lord will provide.

The most important word in His name is “will”. He will always provide for our needs. When we cry out to him, God hears our prayers and will provide us what we need. 

So, as you think about the meaning of the second kernel, I ask that you ask God for wisdom and the opportunity to be His ambassador. Ask for an opportunity to provide for the needs of others. With the pandemic still raging and the economy in poor shape, there are people who need help. God will provide by sending them an answer. Will you be that answer? If you don’t know, ask for wisdom and God will joyfully provide you with what you need. When you do seek God’s direction in your life, I can guarantee that you will stand firm in His grace.   

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

Sunday Praise & Worship Message - Thankful for the First Kernel

When we started our ministry over twelve years ago, we started a tradition that we observe each November. It is an opportunity for us to spend the entire month thanking God for all of the blessings we have received and continue to receive. 

Our tradition is not original. It is based on a simple story from the early days of our great nation. According to the story, the Pilgrims faced a very harsh winter. Their crops failed and they had very little to eat. Disease and hunger both took their toll on those early settlers. If it weren’t for their faith, they would have given up, dug graves and just buried themselves. But, they didn’t give up. 

The pilgrims took what they had and began to ration their food. Their daily ration was five kernels of corn a day. These were certainly dire times for them. Their bodies were not just sustained by only five small kernels but their spirits were also sustained by the word of God.

In chapter eight of the Book of Deuteronomy, we read, “Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.”

These were the same words that Jesus used when tempted by Satan while he was hungry in the desert. Satan told Jesus to turn the stones into loaves of bread to ease his hunger. But, instead of doing what Satan tempted him to do, Jesus quoted the scripture to him.

Although the story of the five kernels is more of a myth, it still reminds us of the hard times and what it takes to overcome them. Like Jesus, the Pilgrims remembered those wonderful words. We, as Christians, do not live by bread alone. The word of God feeds us daily. The word sustains us when we face even the worst of times and strengthens us during the best of times.

After surviving the harsh winter, God opened the windows of heaven and an outpouring of blessings showered the settlers. God provided them with new friends, the American Indians, who helped them with raising crops, hunting and fishing. They were blessed beyond their needs and all thanks were given to God and His bountiful hand.

As the settlers enjoyed their bumper crop and all of the wonderful foods shown to them by their new friends, they set a table and invited their new friends to the feast. Before they ate in fellowship, the Pilgrims did two very important things. The first was to give thanks for all of the blessings they received from God. The second was to place five kernels of corn on each plate to remind themselves of their struggle and of their faith in God.

Over time, the legend of the five kernels grew. Each kernel was given a specific blessing for each person to remember and give thanks for.

In keeping with the tradition, I will begin the first of a five part series. Each message will be devoted to one kernel of corn and its message to each of us. During this year, we faced many adversities. Because of God’s blessings, we are able to come to a table set before us and give thanks. So, as I share the blessing of each kernel, I ask that you remember it and the lesson it teaches us not only during Thanksgiving but also each and every day.

The first kernel reminds of God’s love for us. Although we are unworthy of His love, God still loved us enough to give us His one and only son, Jesus, as our atonement sacrifice. Because of that undeserved love, God has provided us with a wonderful plan of salvation. By admitting that we are sinners and accepting Jesus as our personal Savior and Lord of our lives, God welcomes us into that eternal family. We are His children and when we pass from this world we will receive the deed, paid in full, to a mansion in heaven. 

Paul, in chapter three of his letter to the church in Rome, writes, “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.”

There is no way for us to make ourselves righteous in the eyes of the Father. It is only through our acceptance of God’s grace and mercy that we are made righteous in his sight. We must believe just like the Pilgrims during the early days of our nation. Their faith kept them alive and on the path of righteousness.

I am sure that some found their faith pushed to the limit. Some wondered whether or not God was even listening to their prayers. Those questions sometimes pop up when we face the harshest of circumstances. But, there are those around us who are able to help in our daily walk with the Lord. We not only lean on the everlasting arm of the Lord but we also help one another by encouraging each other. Those who provided encouragement and strength to the others reminded them of the words of the Lord.

The prophet, Jeremiah, in chapter twenty-nine of his book, writes, “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the Lord. ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,’ says the Lord. ‘I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.’”

As Christians and as a nation, we need to humble ourselves before the Lord and seek him. When we do, God will restore us and give us what we need to overcome even the harshest of adversity. He is truly Jehovah Shammah, The Lord is there. Because of His love for us, God is always there and gives us the strength and the ability to stand firm in His grace. 

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

Sunday Praise & Worship Message - What is Important to You

As human beings, we have to make choices. Some are very easy to make while others are so very hard. Some don’t require a lot of thought while others require our undivided attention. We have all had to make them. We go through a set of criteria to help us make these decisions. But, there is one question that is common to all of us. We ask ourselves which is more important to us.

We weigh all of the pros and cons of each choice and add up all of the pluses and minuses. After doing some complex situational calculus, we settle on a choice. The “importance variable” has the most amount of weight in our calculations. No matter how important or how trivial the choices, we use this variable to ultimately make our choice and follow its outcome to the end.

As we go down this path, we sometimes will wonder if we made the right choice. Things may not be working out the way we thought they would. We begin to wonder if we should go back and pursue the other path and hope that the outcome will work out for the best.

What I just described is a generic situation that closely parallels the moments that we all face almost daily. We face one choice after another. When we pass a car accident, we wonder what would have happened if we left work about one minute earlier. If we had, we could have been sitting beside the road calling for law enforcement, tow truck or emergency medical service.

We clutter our minds with the possible scenarios that could have played out if we had done one thing over another. We wonder what would have happened if we picked a particular choice. Sometimes we can drive ourselves crazy with all of these “what-if” situations. 

The real question is why do we even need to consider them. Our lives are already cluttered with the basic choices that we have to make. Why do we want to even look at the “what-if” scenarios? Do they somehow make us feel better or make us feel that we made the right decision?

I used to do the same thing and wonder if this then that all the time. But, I realized that this was a waste of time and not something that is important. My life is more than just a series of one choice after another. It is a life where I have made the most important choice of my entire life. That choice was to accept Christ Jesus as my personal Savior and Lord and follow him in believer’s baptism. 

That one choice remains as the most important event in my life. I made my choice and I have never looked back and wondered about my old sinful life. I live a life that is fulfilled and dedicated to serving God and following the example of His son, Jesus, in all that I do.

In chapter eight of the Gospel of Mark, Jesus says, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Jesus gave his followers a choice and they had to make that choice. The thing that makes this different from the choices we make is that Jesus tells us the outcome of that choice. If we choose to hold on to our earthly lives, we will lose our eternal life. Jesus does not try to hide anything from his disciples or from us. He is completely candid. 

If we work to gain the favor of this world, we lose our souls. By staying focused on the choices of this earthly life, we won’t be able to concentrate on those things that are truly important to us. Our lives should be focused and centered on that one important choice and its outcome. We must choose to take up our cross and follow the one way to the Father, Christ Jesus. 

Jesus asks a very important question that we should ask ourselves each and every day, “Is anything more important than your soul?”

If we answer that we don’t know or there is hesitation in responding, then we need to examine our choice and evaluate whether or not we truly made a choice. Think about it in this way. When life gets hard, does your faith wax and wane like the wind? Do you wonder whether or not you made the right choice?

By asking these questions about your choice, you should examine your life and ask God for strength. There is a lot at stake if you reconsider your choice and slide headlong back into your old, sinful life.

Look at what Jesus says about being ashamed of him or his message. He tells us that the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns. 

Do you want to lose your soul by choosing the world and its sinful ways? Or, do you want to accept God’s Plan of Salvation for your life? This is the most important choice of your life. If you choose to accept Jesus and take up your cross, the path of righteousness is hard, but the reward at the end will be more valuable than all the gold and silver in this sinful world. But, if you choose this life and hang on to it, that choice will lead to death and damnation and eternal separation from the Father.

 At this time, you must ask yourself this one question, “What is important to me?” 

I ask you to consider what is in your heart. Listen to that voice that is speaking softly and tenderly. It is calling you to make that choice for either life eternal with the Father or being separated from Him.

If you have already made the choice and taken up your cross, but you are weak from the burden and you are reconsidering that choice, I want you to ask God for help and wisdom to stay the course. 

In my own life, I have had moments of weakness. I have often questioned my faith and my choice. If I told you that I didn’t have those moments, I would be a liar and hypocrite. But, I am here to tell you that you will receive what you need to overcome the world and the problems that you face. You just need to have faith in your choice and continue down that path of righteousness. Each step that you take down that path is affirmation that you made the right choice and you will be standing firm in His grace.  

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
