Hello friends. It is good to be with you once again. Hope you enjoyed the Easter holiday. Well our last message raises a lot of questions so I want to expand a little on the decision at the Jerusalem conference in Acts 15.
Where is the laws place in Christianity? Everyone seems to have an opinion on this and last weeks message brought them all out. So, what do the scriptures say?
First we need to ask, what is the authority on the rules to be Christian?
At the time of Jesus, tho He did bless outsiders, His mission by His own words was only to the Jews. Jesus was Jewish and fulfilled Jewish law and the prophets. Only at the last supper did Jesus even mention a new covenant. Remember that our relationship with God has always been by covenant. Without a covenant there is no relationship.
The two covenants in question are commonly called the covenant of the law vs the covenant of grace. This has been in controversy since Paul started preaching to the Gentiles.
All the apostles including Paul were Jewish and followed Jewish law even after they believed that Jesus is the Messiah. When Paul started to minister to the Gentiles many were converted. Gentiles new nothing of Jewish law nor did they practice it and this was a major problem to Jewish Christians. This led to the conference in Jerusalem. We have much the same problem today throughout the church from every direction.
Some of the justification for legalisms is as follows:
•Jesus and all apostles followed Jewish law.
•Jesus is the Messiah to the Jews and we are adopted in.
•A covenant can not be abolished so the law is still the law and Jesus helps us obey it, forgiving us if we mess up.
So what does scripture say?
Let’s start with the most used scripture for this argument.
Matt 5:17-20 Jesus says, “ do not think I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I did not come to distroy but to fulfill. Till heaven and earth pass away not one word or one Mark will pass from the law till everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who breaks the least of these commands and teaches others to do so will be called the least in heaven and anyone who practices and teaches these commands will be called the greatest in Heaven.”
The other side of this says bad is still bad but the old covenant was with Jews only and because the law can not save but only convicts, the old covenant has been replaced with a new way of grace and the law is not relevant.
Ok so let’s look at what we’re exactly talking about in deut 5:6-5:22.
•you shall not have any other gods before me.
•you shall not make for yourself an idol.
•do not use the Lords name in vain.
•observe the sabbath and keep it holy. Do no work you or your household..... Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand. Therefore I have commanded you to observe the sabbath day.
•honor your father and mother that it may go well with you in the land.
•you shall not murder
•you shall not commit adultery
•you shall not steal
•you shall not covet
•you shall not bare false witness against your neighbor.
1-3 give reverence to the God that we are supposed to believe in so this should come natural if we believe. Number 4 was specific in memory of their experiences with God. Much like the Christian communion. 5 Is about family and keeping peace in your life.
6-10 are moral. Everyone has a moral compass and I believe these would be at the top of anyone’s list, religious or not.
Jesus said all these are summed up in two commands. “Love God with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul and the second, love your neighbor as yourself.” Ok back to the conference. Do we need to convert to Judaism to be Christian? According to Paul the answer is no and the new covenant replaces the old as he explains in Hebrews 8. “If the old covenant had been enough there would not have been room for a new one. The decision of the conference was to request 4 rules and was agreed to by the apostles including Peter.
•you are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols
•you are to abstain from blood
•you are to abstain from the meat of strangled animals and
* you are to abstain from sexual immorality
Only two can be considered in the commandments and the other two are about eating and would limit disease.
The apostle Paul sums this up in Rom14. One man eats another does not. One man holds one day over the other and another man holds every day the same. Whether he eats or does not eat, each does it to the lord so the lord is magnified. What so ever you do, be fully convinced and do unto the lord.
In conclusion here is what I believe.
As we grow in righteousness we automatically start fulfilling the law. Our love for God will fulfill the first three. To love him is to worship and honor him. 6 are morals that almost everyone would agree with and one is worship in memory of the Israelites experiences with God since leaving Egypt that would not exist with any other people.
There is way more to sin than just 10 commandments or there wouldn’t be over 600 Jewish laws. The law has been replaced because it is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Bad things are still bad even if you’re not religious at all but God has promised to lead us to righteousness through Jesus which causes obedience to the law even without law.
Worship when and how you believe. We know when we are doing something wrong so don’t do bad things even though we are forgiven when we fail it is not to be used as permission and always seek to be closer to Jesus and He will do the rest and we are covered by grace as we grow. I hope this answers some questions.
God bless you and God bless us one and all.

Hello friends and a Blessed Sabbath to you.
I hope by now you understand we are under a new covenant. Today I want to talk about the covenant of law and it’s place in Christianity let’s start with the controversial Sabbath. What day is the Sabbath?
The law says the Sabbath is Saturday. Christians changed it to Sunday. Some believe the Sabbath is no longer relevant at all but what does the gospels say about the Sabbath. What day should it be and what is it really for? This journey is going to take some side roads but we will try to stay on track. Since Christianity worships the Jewish messiah, let’s start with the Jewish Sabbath.
In creation God worked 6 days and rested on the seventh day. This seventh day is called the Sabbath but not until the law of the 10 commandments. Before this covenant of law there was no established Sabbath or laws of God in the earth. In the fourth commandment of the Jewish covenant God said “remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy... on it you nor your household shall not do any work for on the seventh day the Lord rested. Therefore He blessed the Sabbath day and made it Holy”. Exodus 20:80. Friday at sunset to Saturday at sunset was considered sabbath. No work is done and the day is used for reading scripture, prayer and worship to remember their relationship with God. The penalty for breaking the sabbath law was death.Exodus 31:14.
Jesus and the Apostles were Jewish and practiced Jewish traditions. There was no Christianity before the resurrection. It did not exist and being Jewish they also recognized The seventh day Sabbath.
After the resurrection, the Apostle Paul was converting many non Jews to Christianity and to celebrate the resurrection of Christ they started to worship on the day he was resurrected being Sunday, the first day of the week.
According to Jews, Christians did not practice the Sabbath at all. In this time Jewish converts were demanding Gentiles convert to Judaism and practice Jewish law to be included in the Christian church. Acts 15:5. They believed Jesus was the Jewish Messiah and a continuation of the Jewish faith. This caused serious division between the Gentile and Jewish Christians and was becoming a stumbling block to Gentile conversions. Much like the church today.
Keep in mind that to be Jewish means you are in the 10 commandment covenant. It was only made with the 12 tribes of Israel. If you are not Israeli then you were never part of it. Most people of that time never heard of the 10 commandments and certainly had nothing in their lives to cause them to be familiar with them.
The Apostle Paul argues this in several passages of scripture.
In Romans 14 he states “by his faith one man eats and another does not eat. One man holds one day over another, another man holds everyday the same. What so ever you do do it in the name of the Lord”.
In Acts15, there was a meeting of the Apostles to discuss the absence of Jewish traditions in non Jewish Christians. We find in Acts 10 and 11 that before the the meeting in Jerusalem,Peter has a dream. In this dream God told Peter “do not call unclean that which He has cleansed”. Because he had witnessed the the Holy Spirit fall on the Gentiles he understood this to be about their inclusion.
To everyone’s surprise Peter backed up Paul’s teachings. To fulfill the prophecy of the Gentiles in Amos 9:11-12, Acts 15:15-18 and after hearing Peter’s testimony it was decided that the Gentiles obey 4 rules only.
That they should abstain:
•from food offered to and polluted by idols
•from sexual immorality
•from meat of strangled animals and
•from blood.
Only these four rules and only two of those are about immorality and idols and could be considered part of the 10 commandments.
Why would they dismiss the commandments and what gives them the authority to do so?
First there are many Jewish laws in Jewish tradition such as what to eat and what not to eat but the Ten Commandments is part of a covenant made with the Israelites. The Israelites obeyed these laws in reverence to God who brought them out of Egypt and showed them his miracles that they would remember Him and do well for generations to come. Deut. 6:20-25. It was only with Israel and exclusive of all others. No one else would have these experiences to recall.
When the Israelites failed the covenant and failed to recognize the Messiah, a new covenant of promise spoken by the prophet Jeremiah in Jer 31:31 was established that included all mankind. If a new covenant was made the old is no longer relevant.
Jesus gave Peter authority that what ever he would bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever he looses on earth will be loosed in heaven. Matt. 16:17 I understand this to give Peter authority to recognize the new covenant Christians and not force them to become Jews. There is a lot we could cover here but for now let’s get back to the Sabbath. Christians continued to worship on Sunday. In around 325 AD Christianity was established as the official religion of Rome by the Roman Emperor Constantine and the practice of worshiping on resurrection day was continued into today.
Since Paul has been given anointed Authority as Apostle to the Gentiles and that authority is recognized by Peter and the other Apostles then Paul is the final authority in this matter.
The Apostle Paul says this in
Hebrews 8:13 – “In speaking of a new covenant, he [God] makes the first one [the old covenant] obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.”
So in conclusion I believe all of this says the covenant of law has no place in Christianity and was with Jews only. It has been replaced by a new and better covenant that includes all people.
Thank you for taking the time to read this rather long and difficult message. Next week is Easter and we will be having our communion service
God bless you and God bless us one and all.

Hello friends. I pray you have had another blessed week. Today let’s talk about sin.
What is Sin and why is it bad?
It seems most think sin is breaking one of the Ten Commandments. Well, let’s just flip someone on their head right here. Sin is not a thing we do or breaking one of the commandments! Though these are definitely still bad, they are rather the results of sin. Mankind has a sin nature or a spirit of sin that has been developed since the beginning of time. Because of this sin nature, we moved into survival mode causing selfish motivation and using each other to better ourselves at any cost. Deceit, coveting, lust, all kinds of usery and even murder, come from these ideals. Suddenly there was much difficulty in mans life. The elements of season change and the natural disasters that would happen to a cursed earth caused man not only to now take care of himself but he had to endure all types of weather and hardships and life got hard. I’m sure in the beginning it was a lot like today. Desperation and fear will cause envy, coveting, jealousy, anger and these are just reactions to being dissatisfied. These lead to acts of deceit, violence, theft, and manipulation for immediate gratification. In Matt 5:22 Jesus says that if we are even angry with our brother or think on a women to lust after her then we are in danger of the judgement. Sin is not a thing we do but the things we do are the result of a sin nature or a spirit of sin. In James 4:7 It says “submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you”. You will be drawn to do what you think about so guard your mind from thinking on sinful things. The more you experience life without it the less it will be an influence. Our sin nature is caused by generations of habit and false truths.
But why is sin necessarily bad. Understandable about murder but White lies that don’t hurt anyone or two consenting adults in a lewd immoral act if both are willing. I would probably say if you wouldn’t see it in heaven then you shouldn’t do it on earth. Even consenting sin will negatively affect everyone who knows you causing sorrow or influencing them to do the same. Sin is a continuous infection and destroys lives. One sin may influence 100 people directly and then because of the emotional response, the sin of that 100 will affect 1000s more and so on. We do not understand the influence our actions have in our circle.
Sin spreads like the flu. One sin will cause another disrupting many lives. God does not blame you for your sin. It is not your fault that you have sin in your life but it is your fault if you remain in that sin. Praise God He has made a way that we may be saved from all of this self destruction. Jesus removes even the desires of sinful things so that they are no longer even in us to do. God has promised to do it and He has promised to never leave us. Cling to Jesus, resist evil and temptation will flee. I hope this helps us understand sin a little better that we might abstain from such things to be a better influence on those we care about. God bless you and God bless us one and all.

Greetings in Christ.
What does it mean to be saved and is there really a difference?
The word Salvation. We hear this all the time and those of us who have chosen salvation through Christ will be saved. What are we saved from? What is the difference and is this difference really a benefit?
What are we saved from?
In the beginning mankind chose to learn the difference between what is good and what is evil. We experienced five hundred years of selfish motivation and forced allegiance under fear. Theft, deceit, murder, forced against ones own will and immorality against ones own body for self gratification have influenced our ways. But! if you follow the powers that be, aren’t you protected? Examples might be a subject to a King who rules at will or a gang leader who promises protection for loyalty to the gang family. Some of the people can even live very fluently and in peace. So where is this different? All the benefits of evil are temporary and short lived. In the selfish society everyone wants to be the boss so they are in competition at every level, causing the downfall of their rivals. This five hundred years of influence has caused every misery man has experienced. It is not your fault that we are sinners. We have been trained that way for five hundred years and over fifty five hundred years experiencing the results. God does not blame you for the way you are. All of this started from curiosity. Do you not think Eve was curious? The devil said, you will not die but you will become like God and the choice was made to learn both good and evil and what is the difference.
God has created a way to get us back to Kingdom living.
We were given the law to show us that it is more than knowing what to do and being strong enough to do it. Not one person stood the test because evil was still in them to do. 6000 years of experiencing evil has corrupted our nature (our spirit). In the time of Jeremiah, God promised a new way in a new covenant, to be established by the sacrificial Messiah. The Apostle Paul said that Jesus is this sacrificial lamb to mediate this new covenant to be valid. First let me say this. A covenant is Gods unbreakable promise. Without covenant there is no relationship. The covenant of law was based on obedience and not one person passed the test and a new covenant was given in Jeremiah 31:31. Acknowledged in the last Supper by Jesus and confirmed by the Apostle Paul. God has promised to change us. The words in this covenant says “ I will take my people and I will put my word in their mind and in their inner most parts. God says He will do it for us and He knows how to take you from where you are to the righteousness He wants you to have.
It is impossible to be something other than yourself. You will automatically respond by what you have believed to be truth.
How does this new covenant work. For the world to change, first man must change. We have been taught to take care of self first. There are several emotions that work in this. Greed, envy, jealousy, pride and lust. These are part of our nature. We must get back to caring about humanity as a whole. Caring and helping one another.
Jesus says “ my sheep know my voice. They come to me and I lead them “.
Everyone has felt the call of Christ. It is not a voice but a feeling. The Holy Ghost convicts us of our ways. Scripture says “if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED.
If you sincerely ask the living Messiah to save you then be sure that he heard your plea and He knows your heart. By promise He will do it for you. From that point forward God has promised to change us. He leads us to an understanding that changes our nature literally removing our desires of sin. This creates a better environment letting you experience better surroundings.
Jesus said I will send you a comforter who will remind you of all things I have taught you and bring you understanding. This is not all at once by some kind of magic but is a life long journey covered by grace as we learn. Our faith is in Gods ability to be true to His word and even that is caused by God as we experience His reality and power. That is all because it is by His word in covenant, which can not be broken and God knows what it takes to move you. It is not dependent on your will but on Gods promise. He is able and can not lie.
God Bless us one and all

Hello friends. I hope you are enjoying the weekend. It is good to be with you today.
Before we dig too deep,I want to share some basics of what I learned from this experience. Know this, if you asked Jesus into your life, He right then started leading you to a more righteous and beautiful life.
First I want to discuss some terms. Many words have changed meaning and this changes the reading of the scripture. It has come to a wide church understanding that the word Christian means Christ like. The truth and history of the word Christian is that it was given to disciples because they claimed to follow the Christ. It was a derogatory term to make fun of the disciples and they decided they liked it. The word disciple means follower or student. It has never meant Christlike and no one ever could be. So Christians are all students of Jesus teachings at different independent lessons. Another word is Spirit. It is now commonly taught that ones spirit is his eternal being to live in heaven or hell and ones soul is all he has learned and experienced. This is not correct. It is actually reverse. The word says better a man cut off his hand than lose his own soul. Your soul is what will burn in hell or live eternity in heaven. Soul and spirit are both used in scripture so they are not the same. Your spirit is caused by all you are convinced to believe as truth, (your nature or the way you are) and is mostly caused by generations of wrong understanding and your soul or ghost is eternal. The interpretation of these words makes a difference on how the scripture reads. Phrases like the spirit of God, the word is spirit and the spirit of God lives in you, all take on on completely different meaning. Another thing you need to understand is the devil will try to convince you of a lie and steer you from finding the truth. If it is from God it will be confirmed meaning it will be repeated from a different source.
There are three basic natural laws that affect everything. The law of attraction ( likes will attract likes ). The law of cause and effect ( for every action there is a reaction ) and Quantum theory ( an object remains the same unless influenced from an outside source ). These three laws will affect everything on earth.
Ok, let’s talk some scripture. The Bible says that “in the beginning was the word. The word came with God and the word was God.” Another scripture we mentioned earlier “ the word is spirit. “ The nature or spirit or the righteousness of God is God. One vision I saw was the spirits (nature’s or ways) of man and because of past and present influence there are as many as people. These range from perfect evil to perfect good and an unlimited number in between. Because of the law of attraction, these fall in groups of similarity so that you will surround yourself with people more like you so you will reap what you sow. A thief will steal from a thief but a more righteous person will not even know such people. As we grow in understanding, the more righteous we will become, surrounding ourselves with better and more righteous surroundings of better influence and life gets better naturally without much other effort.
Sin is not called bad just because someone didn’t like it so there’s a law. Sin causes problems and misery. The scripture says the wages of sin is death. Sin is also not a thing we do or the law of Moses but the things we do including the law are the result of a sin nature that has been bred in us since the beginning of time. This has caused murder, theft, cheating, bullying, promiscuity and deceit as well as all other evils. All evil comes from this sin nature. The law of Moses was given by covenant and showed us our sin nature to break the law. No one is justified by it except Jesus Christ so a new covenant was made to include all people. Without covenant there is no relationship with God. The old covenant of law which was given to Israel, was based on being able to obey the law of Moses perfectly in which man failed so a new and better covenant was made which we spoke about last week.
God sent His only son to live without sin to fulfill the law of Moses and mediate the New Covenant. Our salvation is the milk of the word and is the gift of God, free for the asking but what good would it be to ask for change and remain the same.
You have heard me say God does it all by His will only. In other words because He wants to and He can not fail. God is all knowing and knows how to move you in the right direction but sin is still sin and you will still live the results of bad decisions.
There is great benefit in Kingdom ways as we change, surrounding ourselves with better influences but why only Jesus? There are many religions who believe in a Creator, God or supreme being. Why not follow one of these?
Jesus said “no one comes to the father except through me” Why?
God has promised salvation by His doing under covenant through Jesus. For a covenant to be made there must be a blood sacrifice. In Jewish law and the old covenant the sacrifice was a unblemished lamb. The word says “God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten son so that whosoever believes in him shall have eternal life.” God gave Jesus to be our sacrifice of the covenant. If you do not accept this sacrifice, you can not be in covenant and can not be saved. There is only one God and one Messiah. Only Jesus sacrificed His life for us that we might live. There is no greater gift than to give ones life for his friends. Only by accepting this sacrifice can one be saved. We will still make mistakes but we will learn from them while God leads us through our trials and we are covered by grace as learn. God does it all by promise, only for the asking because of this New Covenant in Jesus. The word says the Holy Spirit gives to each one what He wills for the benefit of the whole. He moves us and leads us by the sharing of His word. The more we learn the more righteous we become making better choices and surrounding ourselves with better influences to experience. He is always calling. Jesus says my sheep know my voice and come to me and I shall lead them. Everyone of us felt the tug of God calling us to Jesus. When you answer the call He will lead you to a better way of life and the fruits of the Kingdom.
The old covenant was based on what we did. The new covenant is based on the promise of God that He will do it. It is not based on being good enough or smart enough or even having a strong enough will to abstain from sin We are being rescued by our Heavenly Father by His will only and by His doing and this is the Good News of the New Testament. Have you found the Kingdom? Are you even looking or do you worship a God you do not know? Those who find it are truly blessed and all we have to do is ask.
I hope you enjoyed today’s message.
Thank you and God bless us one and all

Hello friends and a blessed Sabbath to you.
let’s talk about faith.
As we ended last weeks discussion “the beginnings of faith is to believe God exists” but this is only the beginning.
So what do we have faith in?
First we must believe He exists. The reason for last weeks sermon.
Second, we must believe that He is able to do what He says and
Third we must have faith that He is willing and faithful to be true to His word. I want to put this right here: “in the beginning there was the word. The word came with God and the word is God”. The scriptures represent God and God can not lie. You can trust His promises.
What is Faith?
Basically faith is how much you believe in something. If you weigh 200 lbs, You may have faith that a 2 inch rope will hold you but less faith that a 1/2 inch rope will hold you and of course have a lot of doubt that a 1/4 inch twine will do. We find in Hebrews 11 that faith was already present in the experiences in the old testament as a key element of their spiritual lives. Noah built an arc by faith, Abraham offered his son as a sacrifice by faith, Moses confronted pharoah by faith, David slew Goliath by faith and all the prophets spoke the word of God by faith. If it were not for faith even the virgin birth could not have happened. If Joseph would not have married Mary because of his faith in the message he recieved in a dream, she would have been stoned to death by the Law for having concieved out of wedlock.
Lets look a little deeper.
There are different types of faith.
•Belief is a type of Faith
There are many examples of those who believed in the power of Jesus who came to him asking for healing and it was granted. They asked because they had heard first hand or witnessed his power already. Belief actually, even though it is the strongest faith, is the easiest to have. Those who possess this type of faith have seen the power of Christ and know already he can answer their prayers. It is not hard to believe in something we have already experienced.
•Hope is a type of faith.
An example of this is the lame man who had been unable to walk his entire life. When Jesus came, he had already heard the stories people were saying about Him and when Jesus told him to take up his bed and walk, in hope he thought he would try and when he tried his legs moved and his faith grew so he tried harder and he stood up now believing wholly that he would walk and so he did.
When you don't know for sure, cling to the hope that is in you that our father may increase your faith by showing you his miracle.
•Trust is a type of faith:
When the Apostles saw Jesus walking on the water Peter said Matt 14:28 If it be thou, bid me to come unto thee on the water 29 and Jesus said come and when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water to go to Jesus, not because he knew he could but because he trusted Jesus. Matt 14:15 when Jesus fed 5000 men, women and children with only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes and they witnessed the miracle of picking up many baskets of leftovers after the multitude had finished eating because they trusted him enough to do what he said even tho it sounded impossible. In John 2:3, Jesus turned the water into wine because the servants trusted him to fill the pitchers with water and serv me it to the guest. This is the hardest kind of faith to have but the greatest of all. There are many occasions when the odds are impossible or you doubt your worthiness to receive your miracle. When you have no hope and the things you seek are impossible, trust in the Lord and believe in his word.
•Activating Faith
How do we activate the power of Faith? In every scripture of miracles done to people, those of faith took action. Some had only ask. Others were told to do something as an act of faith, a blind man to wash his eyes in the river, a lame man to get up and walk, the wedding servants to fill the pitchers with water. To activate the power of faith we must act upon that faith even when we are doubtful. James 2:20 but wilt thou know, O vain man that faith without works is dead? This verse pertains to all things unto God. If one believes that one foot under ground was a million dollars but he never dug the first shovel of dirt, he will never receive it. When you need a miracle, ask and then do what you feel the Lord is telling you. Act in faith in everything you do.
•Can we lose our faith?
Of course. The minute we believe, Satan wants to cause doubt and steal our faith. We have an advasary and his purpose is to cause us to give up and turn from Jesus. A great example of this is the continuation of the story of Peter walking on water Matt 14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was affraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying Lord save me. 31 and Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught him up and said to him O ye of little faith; wherefore didst thou doubt? Stand fast on the word of God even when the devil is tempting you to believe otherwise.
•Faith is the instrument of our salvation:
Heb 11:6 without faith it is impossible to please God: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Eph 2:8 For by Grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God and not of works least any man should boast 10 for we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus.
•How do we build faith.
Start by reading the gospels. From there God does the rest. When we read the story of the life of Jesus, the Holy Ghost will come upon you and cause you to know that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God and we grow to trust in Him. As we read about the miracles he performed and his teachings of righteousness it gives us hope. And as we act on that trust and on that hope we start experiencing the power of his love and the reality of His existance. The more we experience his power and his existance, the more faith we will have till we believe fully and there is no doubt. Jesus said I come that you may have life and have it more abundunt. This includes all aspects of our life from finances to general happiness to health. His word changes the way we think causing us to make better decisions thus changing our surroundings by our better choices making us realize the truth in his word and building our faith in our salvation through him. Faith is caused and strengthened by God.
Act upon the faith you have and if you have no hope, trust in the one who loves you enough that he sacrificed his own life that you may live. When the lame man was told to get up and walk, if he would not have tried he would not have walked but when he tried he was incouraged by the strength in his legs and when he tried harder and stood up his faith grew even more and with each step he grew and grew in his belief till he was made whole. All things are done by God by the covenant of promise in Christ Jesus and He can not lie. He calls us. He causes us to answer the call and He leads us to a better life. Trust in Him enough to try and He will build your faith.
Thank you for being with us this week. I hope you were enlightened by today’s message. God bless you and God bless us one and all.
