God's CHANGE

Ecclesiastes 3:2
"A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;"

In our series titled; Seasons of Life we are starting with the Flavors of Fall. We are learning, from the prophet Daniel; GOD "changeth the times and the seasons." As things change we have to recognize that God's hand is at work making things CHANGE.

And everyone knows it; the 1965 hit song "written" by Pete Seeger was released called "Turn! Turn! Turn!" The lyrics consist of the first eight verses of the third chapter of the biblical Book of Ecclesiastes. Which we are studying this week. Now every hippie and pop culture mavin knows these verses by heart even if they have never picked up the Holy Bible in their life.

"To every thing there is a SEASON, and a TIME to every purpose under the heaven:" All through our lives we are faced with different SEASONS and TIME is always changing. This is by God's design. We need to find our purpose in God's plan. God's CHANGE. 

Today's verse; "A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;" Birth and death are extreme end of the spectrum with usually a fair amount of time in between. Many seasons can make up our lives. Each season has it's own character. Each has activities unique to that time of year. Enjoy them all. Planting in harvesting spans just a season or two. They come with their own responsibilities and needs; take care of them and make the most of them.

Life has it's seasons, enjoy them too. Times of change relationships, situations, circumstances all change. It's a lot about feelings. Where ever you are the feelings can match situation or be in contrast. We can be in multiple seasons at once. Life is complicated. Our challenge is to find our purpose in God's plan. God's CHANGE.

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...
