Message from the Pastor
THE ENTIRE WORLD IS IN TURMOIL AND CONFUSION.
This is a known fact.
Sadly, much about God and religion is also in turmoil and confusion.
False predictions about the dates for the end of the world, failures amongst religious "leaders", hypocricy, scandals, false religions, the absence of love etc .have all left a wide path of confusion, caution and fear preventing people from reaching out and finding true answers.
The Bible says "God is not the author of confusion but of Peace"
So many people no longer know who to believe or what to believe. I frequently hear the question, Which one is right? Who's God is the real one. Let me give you some GREAT NEWS.
GOD'S PLAN for you is very simple to understand and follow and can begin right here, right now.
Without taking you into a lengthy, difficult to understand message, let me share with you what I have entitled:
GOD'S PLAN OF SALVATION PLAIN AND SIMPLE
According to God's Word, all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. There is none righteous, no not one. We are all born with a sinful nature due to the fall of man and disobedience of mankind from the beginning in the Garden Of Eden.
If you are a parent, you must have surely noticed that as soon as a child begins to grow you are saying to them. Don't do that, don't say that, don't touch that, don't go there etc.
You will never have to teach a child to do wrong , but always have to teach that which is right. That is part of the birth nature as a result of the Adam / Eve fall in the Garden.
Early in the Book of Genesis, God declares that when He looked upon man whom He had created, He saw only evil continually and was sorry that He had created manknd. ( All of God's other creation is still doing as He created it to do)
To abruptly bring this message to the most important part for you today, God created man for His pleasure.
God still loves the world ( people) but hates the sin.
He made the greatest exchange ever made on planet earth for YOU by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to die on a cruel cross. He shed blood from His head, feet, hands spear wound, and whip lashes on His body. He died from pouring out His life blood!
That Bible declares that without shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. As blood sacrifices of animals were used in the Old testament annually for the sins of people, Jesus died once and for all for us. That is why John the Baptist, when he saw Jesus coming in a distance declared "Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world." He became a sacrificial Lamb for us and died in our place.
In fact, what Jesus said and did was the greatest exchange ever. He tooks our sins upon himself and gave us the righteousness of God in Him !
In Christ, WE ARE FREE
That is why Jesus declared of Himself, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life
So you see,
It is really not about what church you attend or even if you do.
It is not about qualifying to become a Christian
It is not, does God love me? He does, just as you are !
It is not about knowing everything about God,
It's not about changing your life before you can come to God.
IT IS knowing that you need Him as your Saviour and asking God to forgive you of your sins.
I believe that every human being feels an empty feeling or void in their lives. We try money, homes, vehicles, and much more and never are able to fill that void in our lives.
THAT VOID IS PUT THERE BY GOD FOR GOD. Nothing else will ever fill it.
Please accept what He has done for you today and invite Jesus in your heart and life now.
God's Word declares that He is not willing that any should perish but have eternal life !
John 3:16 declares: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"
Pray this simple prayer from your heart today, and truly repent.
Heavenly Father, please forgive me of my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
Come into my heart,
Help me to serve you every day of my life
In Jesus name I pray.
If you have sincerely prayed this prayer you have just become a child of God .
Please email me and let me know if you have prayed this prayer today . If you would like an online Pastor, I am here to help you.
God bless you for reading this message, Hope to hear from you soon.
