John 5:24

“I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.

John 5:24 NLT

John 5:24-30 NLT

“I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.

“And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it’s here now, when the dead will hear my voice—the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live. The Father has life in himself, and he has granted that same life-giving power to his Son. And he has given him authority to judge everyone because he is the Son of Man. Don’t be so surprised! Indeed, the time is coming when all the dead in their graves will hear the voice of God’s Son, and they will rise again. Those who have done good will rise to experience eternal life, and those who have continued in evil will rise to experience judgment. I can do nothing on my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore, my judgment is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will.

Find Peace In Times Of Trouble

Woman looking to the heavens to find peace in times of trouble

Things are pretty confusing right now… the world is in turmoil… and it will get worse.

Christians, let’s be strong in the Lord and the power of his might.

The opportunity to live the gospel and be a testimony of the hope we have in Christ is in front of us daily like never before.

What hope and what grace we’ve found!

We know where to look for our strength… to find peace in times of trouble.

 

Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless.

Psalm 60:11

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

John 14:27

There’s So Much To Learn!

To be “teachable” is a great advantage.

Christians we need each other… it’s impossible to grow in Christian maturity by ourselves. 

There’s So Much To Learn

We’ll stay babies if we remain alone but think that “we’re all grown up.”

The understanding that I need to learn from others is the first step in being “teachable.”

Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies it remains alone.

John 12:24

What does this mean? It means that when we humble ourselves and surrender our lives to Christ we are not our own people.

Our lives are His and His plan, for now, is the Church. 

So what’s the Church?  It’s not a place. It’s a people… together being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets… to become a habitation for God in the spirit.

As we’re built together we grow.

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

John 14:1-3

New International Version

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

John 14:1-3
