every city

Luke 8:1
"And it came to pass afterward, that He went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with Him,"

We are studying Women of Faith in the Holy Bible. Each one is an inspiration to us all! This last week we looked at Mary Magdalene. It's noteworthy that the profoundly pivotal moment of Jesus's resurrection is completely in the care of her. Not Peter. Not John. Not anyone else. Mary Magdalene. Jesus freed her from a deep, dark dungeon of sorrow, she was afflicted with the tormenting power of Satan! She went on to become one of the most important people in our FAITH history!

Faith history, church history, and Jesus's story is deep and worthy of our attention for a lifetime and beyond. One of the most remarkable aspects to God's story is that it's our story. It's all about Him but it's NOT! It's about us too. We need God and for some reason God uses us as part of His plan. Jesus call twelve and they called the souls that followed them. And down through history all the way to you and me. 

In today's verse we get a sense of this; "And it came to pass afterward, that He went throughout EVERY CITY and VILLAGE, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with Him," AND, it was more than twelve. There are many people on team Jesus. All working together to futher the Gospel in the world.

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.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

we also...

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...
