  Who Is Jesus to You? ( June 26, 2023) “ And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” ” (Matthew 3:17) The fact that Jesus Christ is the Son of God is one of the foundational truths of the Christian faith. God’s beloved and only begotten Son put aside His heavenly glory and made Himself of no reputation, taking on the form of a humble servant made in the likeness of men. As both God and man, Jesus was sent to earth by God the Father on a mission to save us from our sins. The Bible is God’s revelation of Himself and His plan for mankind’s redemption through Christ. In a discussion of His identity among men during Christ’s earthly ministry, Jesus was told by His disciples that some people said He was John the Baptist, while others perceived Him to be one of the prophets. Jesus then asked His followers this crucial question: “But who do you say that I am?” In a bold confession based on insight from the heavenly Father, Pe...

  The Fountain of Living Water ( May 11, 2023)   “I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of water of life freely to him who thirsts.” (Revelation 21:6)   In pursuit of physical gratification, many people thirst for the waters of this world (possessions, pleasures, and power) that soon evaporate, leaving them empty and thirsting for more. Jesus Christ is the fountain of living spiritual water that never runs dry and satisfies eternally. Our Savior invites us to refresh our souls with this living water. Jesus said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He is who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:37-38) Therefore, let us s joyfully “draw from the wells of salvation.” (Isaiah 12:3) “Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst.

  Greet Each Day with Gratitude and Gladness ( March 18, 2024) At the start of and throughout each day, we should all resolve to rejoice with gratitude and gladness for the blessing and beauty of every moment we’re given by a gracious, loving God. Probably penned by King David, the psalmist of ancient Israel, Psalm 118 reminds us that every day is a gift of God that should be celebrated with joy and thanksgiving. Familiarly, the psalmist wrote in verse 24: “This is the day the  Lord  has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. ” Each new day of life is a fresh expression of God’s boundless grace and love for you and me, and we are to receive it with joyful gladness. The L ORD wants us to live each day to the fullest, recognizing that He is the source of all good gifts, and using the time, talents, and resources that He has provided to each of us to honor and glorify Him. Whether the day brings joy or sorrow, we can rejoice that God is working all circumstances to be...
