Philippians 2:3-5
"3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:"

We are entering our last week of focusing on Women of Faith in the Holy Bible! This has been a rewarding study. The women in the Holy Scriptures are awesome! Our FAITH is nowhere without the wonderful women who exercised their influence over the generations. Last week Priscilla, before that Lydia, and the faithful woman of Canaan, and Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, and Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and Johanna, and Suzanna, Rebekah, Naomi, Ruth, the poor woman caught in adultery, sisters Mary and Martha, Hagar, the Samaritan woman at the well, Hannah, Esther, Jairus's daughter, Sarah, and of course the very FIRST woman; Eve! And, there are more! They all inspire us to become better people. And, each of them would be quick to point to and give the glory to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! For them and you and me, it's not good enough to conform to the world, rather we want to conform ourselves to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 

Today's verses are ones we can read over and over again. They teach us to be humble, "esteem other better than themselves." These words challenge us to put the needs of others ahead of our own; "but every man also on the things of others." We are looking to Jesus as our inspiration. He sacrificed everything to save the world. You and I, may not be able to save the world, but we can help out the people closest to us.

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...

The Bread of Life

John 6:33-35 "33 For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34 Then said they unto Him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." We were studying GOD'S Covenant symbolized by the RAINBOW. It's a VERY important message to know that the Great Flood will NOT happen again. When we see the RAINBOW we want to remember this Covenant. We also want to remember our own Covenant with GOD and how the waters of Baptism washed us clean and gives us the promise of eternal life. This week we will study another Covenant from GOD; The Covenant of Holy Communion. Instituted by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In today's verses He gave us a deep insight into how important and connected this promise from GOD is; "For the BREAD of GOD is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the wo...

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.
