From Max Lucado:

As Jesus went along, he saw a man blind from birth. No one else saw him. The disciples saw only a theological case study. “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” They didn’t see a human being. They saw a topic of discussion.

Jesus, by contrast, saw a man who was blind from birth. A man who had never seen a sunrise, who couldn’t distinguish purple from pink. He dwelled in a dark world. Others had reason to hope. He had reason to despair. But then Jesus saw him and he sees you.
The first lesson of this miracle is a welcome one. You and I aren’t invisible. We aren’t overlooked. Jesus spots us on the side of the road and he makes the first move. Remember my friend, you are never alone.

Have a great weekend...Pastor Freddy

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. Ephesians 4:29

Reports show that the average person will go days, weeks, even months without ever receiving an encouraging word from someone. More often we are likely to hear criticism rather than encouragement. Certainly, there is a place for constructive criticism in our lives, but most of us long for encouragement because we often hear more words that tear us down rather than building us up.

Yes, words can tear people down, but we can also use words to build one another up. The Greek word for edification means to “build up”. So how do we build each other up? By using edifying words. Our verse today reminds us that maybe being encouraged starts with us being encouragers first. So, let’s build each other up by encouraging words, helpful actions, motivational or nurturing as each situation calls for.

Do you use your words to tear down or build up? Look for an opportunity each day to extend grace to someone by using encouraging words.

Have a great day…Pastor Freddy

And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” And he said to him, “Here I am.” Genesis 37:13

Often before we can become a good leader, we must learn how to be a good follower. Ultimately, everyone is accountable to someone who gives us directions and guidance to follow. If you are a Christian, it begins with God. At work many of us have a boss, etc. The family is the place where those lessons must be first learned so they are not foreign to us when we become adults.

Joseph became a great leader in Egypt, second only in authority to Pharaoh. But his rise to prominence was not a traditional path. Obviously, it was God’s blessing above all. But it was also the fact that Joseph had learned as a youngster to honor his father, Jacob, that guided his rise to status in Egypt. Joseph wasn’t perfect as a young man, but he did respect his father.

When he was seventeen years old, Jacob sent him on a mission to find his brothers who were tending the flocks at Shechem. Joseph replied, “Here I am” or “dad I’m ready”; “or dad I got this”; No questions and no discussion. When his father called him, Joseph obeyed.

When God calls us, our response must be the same: “Here am I! Send me”
Isaiah 6:8

Will you be ready when He calls…Pastor Freddy

Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and give no opportunity to the devil. Ephesians 4:26-27

When I was a boy back in Western North Carolina, some of my friends and I would climb trees pretending we were rock climbers. When climbing and especially when coming down we would look for what we called “footholds” which were knots, limbs or imperfections in the tree which would help us get back to the ground.

The way Paul uses this word foothold in our text means “not to allow the opportunity for” Foothold calls to mind the expression, “Get a foot in the door” or when someone takes advantage of an opportunity for advancement.

Paul is suggesting in our text that when we don’t deal with our anger quickly it can lead to bitterness and thus allows Satan the opportunity to advance in our life. That’s why Paul says to deal with unrighteous anger before the end of the day. Jesus showed righteous anger occasionally when defending God but never unrighteous anger. Unrighteous anger leads to sin if not resolved.

Unrighteous anger is self-centered; forgiveness is others centered. When we forgive, we take away the devil’s opportunity to stir up trouble…Pastor Freddy

3 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, the robe of many colors that he wore. 24 And they took him and threw him into a pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it. Genesis 37:23-24

Even though he wasn’t to blame, Job lost his children, his animals and all his possessions. He lost everything except for his life and his wife (he might have been okay with losing her if he had known her lack of support). She told him that he should curse God because of all he had lost. But Job chose to trust God even if he didn’t understand what had happened, thus he decided not to curse God (Job 2:10)

Joseph also endured all kinds of betrayals and hardships that could have caused him to become bitter and lose his faith in God. However, he like Job kept his faith in God and eventually saw God slowly reveal the reasons for the direction his life had taken. Later in his life he could say God had been working all things for good.

When you face the difficulties this life can bring, choose to put your faith in God and trust Him to reveal His reasons in His time.

Have a great day…Pastor Freddy

Good Morning! Thanks for joining us.

Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright. Psalm 33:1

Charles Spurgeon once told of an old clergyman who said that a line of praise was even better than a page of prayer—that “praise was the highest, noblest, best, most satisfying, and most healthful occupation in which a Christian man could be found.” How about you…do you believe that is true?

When you go about your day, what do you see? Do you see the shapes of the clouds, the rays of sunshine, the raindrops if it is raining, the snowflakes when snowing and recognize that each and every one of these is created by the master Creator who paints a new picture for us to see each and every day. When we eat our breakfast, lunch, and dinner (what about our snacks 😊), we should take a second to thank God for His generosity towards us. Everything we find enjoyable-He made for us! So, each day, as we drive to work or mow the lawn, we should sing a song of praise, even if we don’t sing it out loud, but rather in our minds. Morning, noon, and night we should remember God’s faithfulness.

Praising our Savior grows our faith, brings peace where there is no peace, and gives us a new perspective when facing our troubles.

Have a praise filled day…Pastor Freddy

Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13-14

My dad loved to watch western movies and TV shows. We would often watch shows like Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Lawman and Lancer. At least once every season it seemed like there would be an episode when a “Medicine Man” would come and set up his wagon just outside of town and sell his miracle tonic that was a cure all for any ailment a person had.

The Bible tells us a story where Jesus met a thirsty woman at a well in Samaria. He offered her living water (His version of miracle tonic) that he told her would satisfy her thirst forever. She thought He was talking about some kind of special liquid, but He was referring to “spiritual water” that would meet her spiritual needs for all eternity.

It took her awhile to understand what Jesus was talking about, but she finally understood that He was talking about how she could have a relationship with God.
When Jesus spoke about living water, He was referring to the Holy Spirit.

If you are spiritually thirsty today, you can find the greatest miracle water there is when you yield your life to God through His Son Jesus Christ. Are you thirsty today for more of God…then take a drink from His living water and thirst no more!

Have a great day…Pastor Freddy

But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Matthew 10:30

Modern technology has provided all kinds of ways for people to keep up with what people are doing and where they are at any given moment. Even with all this technology there are still places in the world where it seems like if you were stuck no one would ever find you.

I remember a time when I was in Lisbon Portugal having such feelings. I left my hotel and ventured out on my own (that was my first mistake). I could not speak the language and because of my skin color I stuck out like a sore thumb. I somehow ended up in a not so good area of the city where I could see what appeared to be prostitutes turning tricks and drug deals going down around me. I remember thinking if something happened to me no one would ever know. Well, maybe no one on earth would know, but Someone in heaven would.

The psalmist David didn’t have access to all the technology we have today, but he knew enough about the universe to know that God is everywhere and knows everything about him. In Psalm 139 he states that it is impossible to hide from God; He sees us wherever we are—starting at conception (even before) and every step we take along life’s journey. Our verse today reminds us that not even a sparrow falls without God’s knowledge, and He knows the number of hairs on our head!

Wherever you are and whatever your needs, God knows where you are and what you need…Have a great day…Pastor Freddy

I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.
Psalm 34:4

Some people fear flying. Some are afraid of water. Most of us are afraid of something. What are you afraid of? Our lives are full of fear and riddled with anxieties and phobias. There are a lot of uncertainties in life, and without Christ we’re left in the chaos of fear.

But our verse today reminds us that our God is a God who delivers. You can ask Him to help deliver you from what you fear. The psalmist said, “I sought the Lord, and He…delivered me from all my fears.” Verse 5 says, “Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. How different would your life be today if God replaced your fears with radiance? Ask your Heavenly Father to help you, He knows how to do it!

Maybe you don’t have a Heavenly Father, today confess that you are a sinner, believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Romans 10:9. If you prayed that prayer, WELCOME to the FAMILY! If I can help you with your decision, reach out to me-nothing would please me more.

Have a great day…Pastor Freddy
