You can trust the Bible as the reliable Word of God.

Tetelestai!

On this day, almost 2,000 years ago, Jesus was nailed to a cross; and in pain we cannot understand nor comprehend, endured the full weight of the wrath of God for all who will believe in redemptive history.

In the midst of all of that, he uttered through gasps for air 7 times… 7 things that shows the love of the creator for His own.

"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)

"Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." (Luke 23:43)

"Woman, behold your son!" and "Behold your mother!" (John 19:26–27)

"Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?) (Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34)

"I thirst." (John 19:28)

"It is finished." (John 19:30)

"Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." (Luke 23:46)

Beloved, the divine mission was complete. The work was done. The payment made for sin. Salvation applied.

The only requirement: BELIEVE! To trust on the Lord Jesus Christ. To give up everything, to take up your cross, and to follow him.

To be Redeemed is to be Changed.

May you be changed this day, and forever more!

Been busy lately… Christmas time and work trips, but home is always a beautiful thing. And being home with all of you makes my day a little brighter!

This week we come together to worship through Matthew 18:1-9. This passage is fantastic for reminding us about the humility of our conversion, and what our spiritual life centers around.

We would love to have you come worship with us at St Mary’s Baptist Church this Sunday @ 10:45 am to hear what our Lord says in “Family Ties”

St Mary’s Baptist Church will not have services tomorrow due to the cold and out of great respect for the safety of our people.

One of the best quotes I’ve ever heard…

Ligon Duncan: “Wes, Christians have done terrible things. How can you possibly believe in Christianity?”

Wes Huff: “… if you judged Beethoven based on my ability to play the cello, you’d be getting a few things wrong, wouldn’t you?”

What would you say is the pinnacle of your career? Maybe as a parent or even something you did when you were younger?

It seems, as we read the Gospels, that the pinnacle of Jesus’ ministry is presented in the miracle of feeding over twenty thousand people with a few barley crackers and some fish…. We read in John 6 that after Jesus fed them, they wanted to put Him on the throne as king.

But Jesus rejected this idea, and one could say that His rejection is baffling considering the OT prophecies of the messiah. The Jews of the day were surely confused.

But the Kingdom is not an earthly Kingdom, but a spiritual one.

Join us this Sunday out @ St. Mary's Baptist Church as we dive into the realities of the miracle and th implications for us as followers. This will be one you don’t want to miss.

By the way, church starts at 10:45 am, so you can sleep in a bit!
