Fall Back to GOD

Acts 3:19 
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;"

Today is Day Light Savings Time and we FALL BACK one hour. What if we had "ETERNAL LIFE SAVINGS TIME" and we would all FALL BACK to GOD! It can happen in each individuals heart and mind. Just people turning to God with no hidden agenda. Just a willingness to follow Jesus, total sincerity, and earnestness. FALL BACK to GOD!

We studied the third chapter of the book of Jonah. And, we looked at the Gospel record of Matthew when our Lord and Savior referenced Jonah pointing out the scribes and Pharisees, and the other unbelieving Jews that are there and witnesses to His miracles and preaching all the while knowing the great many prophecies written about Him and fulfilled and they REFUSED to believe! In stark contrast the idolaters who lived wicked lives in Nineveh LISTENED to Jonah, a stranger to them, who did NO miracles to confirm he was sent by God! Jonah only said; "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown." The people of Nineveh admitted they were doing things wrong AND they took measures to change their actions! Their "CRY MIGHTILY to GOD" was a recognition and declaration that GOD'S  TRUTH is THE TRUTH. 

Today's verse is the direct and straightforward call to FALL BACK to GOD; "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" One day our troubles will be over. We will be delivered from life to eternal life! We will be in the presence of the Lord; God the Father All Mighty, Jesus the Son, Savior and Great Physician,  and the Holy Ghost the Comforter. It will be the time we truly know bliss and glory!!

Please FALL BACK to GOD with us at one of the oldest Lutheran Churches in the region! It is beautiful! An old stone building with vibrant stained glass everywhere you look. And, ornately carved wood altar and flying pulpit! It is an amazing sight to behold. And, the people are VERY friendly and welcoming. The Pastor's are outstanding and outgoing. We look forward to seeing you in worship.

broken

Luke 22:61 "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice." The cock crowed. Peter had denied Jesus—three times. Peter, who had walked on water, confessed Jesus as Messiah, and opposed the cross (earning “Get behind Me, Satan”). That day was already crushing: the Last Supper, Gethsemane, Jesus’ arrest. Peter drew his sword, then stood down. Following at a distance, he was recognized: “You were with Him.” “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Third denial. Earlier, Jesus warned Peter would deny Him thrice. Peter swore: “Even if all fall away, I never will. Even if I must die with You, I will not deny You.” (Matt 26:33–35; Mark 14:29–31; Luke 22:33–34; John 13:37–38) Now Jesus—beaten, bound—looks at Peter. Not with condemnation. With love. Peter breaks. He is not who he thought he was...

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...

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.
