Serve the Children...

Genesis 1:1&2
"1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

Why?
Why did God create this universe and our world?
Was God lonely? God is a Trinity and had love between the three parts. Loneliness doesn't seem right. Did God have an artistic bent that just needed expression? Creation does have a beautiful quality to it. Bravo! For the pleasing appearance of all creation. BUT, What if God's character is one of being a SERVANT? 

GOD is there for Adam and Eve. God is indulgent to the founding fathers of our faith. From the very beginning we see GOD'S actions are by design to send His only begotten Son to SAVE the world! Even as GOD is giving words to His prophets, like yesterday's verse from Isaiah; "...My righteous SERVANT..." Isaiah's prophecy is some of the most accurate and celebrated in getting the person and work of Jesus Christ correct!

Jesus died for our sins! Only Isaiah is looking forward in history to an event that will take place. You and I get to look back through history and see all the good that has resulted from the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior! 

Family, friends, race, politics and extremes. We focus on the differences. What has our country come to? We seem tobmess things up in our communities. If we were trying to BREAK our community we couldn't do a better job. Jesus wants us to serve our neighbors not harm our neighbors. Jesus teaches us to be Good Samaritans. Sing and teach red, yellow and white all are precious in God's sight. https://youtu.be/p5LCvWddQHw

to be taller

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

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...

praise Him

Luke 1:51-53 "51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." This is Mary's Magnificat. Beginning with verse forty-six Mary's responds to Elizabeth’s blessing is EPIC! In this poem Mary praises GOD for His blessing to her and His faithfulness to Israel.  Mary's Magnificat also highlights a series of reversals in which the proud are humbled and the humble are exalted! Which we read in today's verses; "He hath shewed STRENGTH with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and EXALTED them of low degree. He hath FILLED the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." We should marvel at GOD'S choice of this poor young girl to be the m...
