Connecting With Jay (Page 3)

Good morning church! I hope that, like me, you are excited about this new day we’ve been given. We all have struggles and hardships in life, we each face distractions and temptations, but God has and will continue to walk with you every step of the way.  He will work through the Holy Spirit in your life and provide just what you need to keep running the spiritual…

No matter how good we feel about ourselves, or what achievements we have under our belt – We all have moments in life where we become painfully aware of our lack of real power.  Whether it is a sickness, tragedy, mistake or just overwhelming odds that we are forced to face – eventually all the bravado, influence, knowledge and money in the world fail us.  That’s…

When I look back on my favorite Christmas memories, they have nothing to do with snow or expensive presents.  My favorite memories, and what I look forward to the most this Christmas, is spending time with family!  Despite all their craziness and the difficulties that come with cramming so many people into one home… I love it.  I like being able to sit around and catch up…

This has been an exciting week.  On Monday evening, we were sitting around our living room getting ready to say prayers together when someone ran off to do “one thing real quick” and I decided to ask a few Bible questions while we waited.  I remember asking – who is the oldest man in the Bible, and how old was he? (Genesis 5:27) Then I asked about how…

In the final analysis, “Trust And Obey” has been the requirement of God from the Garden of Eden until now. For Adam and Eve, it was “be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth” (Genesis 1:28). Eat all the vegetables and fruit you want with the single exception of the fruit of one particular tree. Trust and obey. During the Patriarchal Age God expressed His will to…

I was recently studying the book of Romans and came across something extraordinary. As I prayed and reflected on Romans 8:26, 35, an encouraging truth came to mind – we are never alone in this journey we call Christianity. We are surrounded by brothers and sisters, but sometimes they can seem distant and aloof. Occasionally, our struggles happen in the middle of the…

I can’t even begin to imagine the kind of day this person had when they found out that someone played a cruel trick on them.  While in China, I heard about other foreigners going to tattoo shops and asking for a special phrase – but ending up with a tattoo of  外国人 (meaning “foreigner”) permanently inked on the body but, I think “turkey sandwich” might win the day. This…

And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.     Luke 1:31-33 Lead Me To Calvary is one…

Early in His ministry, Jesus made this bold declaration: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven” (Matt. 7:21).  Think about each element of this verse and the two verses that follow. There is nothing more important or essential for us than to “enter the kingdom of heaven.” …

Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Good morning and ‘’hoping this find you well, healthy, safe and full of God’s presence and wonderful blessings’’. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your time, your talents, and your generous faithful financial support. We truly are better together. Wonderful things are happening for God’s glory despite political unrest,…
