FAVOR 
If it were contingent on how good you are, then it would no longer be grace but the law.  It would be a deserved favor.  This is the difference between the old covenant and the new covenant of grace:
 Law is deserved favor–When you obey the commandments perfectly, you will be blessed.
Grace is undeserved favor–Jesus obeyed God perfectly, and you will be blessed by believing in Him.  
How do you see God–as your Judge or loving Father?     Joseph Prince

Message for January 19, 2025 from Pastor Shirley

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  John 3:16  KJV

As I was reading this very familiar verse the other day I was drawn to the words “so loved the world”. The Greek word “so” is “outos”  which means “in this way” or “thus.”

I went to Bible Gateway and looked through the different translations and came across the Christian Standard Bible it says,  “For God loved the world in this way:He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life”.  Reading this verse in the CBS I began to understand that Jesus was saying.   For God loved the world in this way and this is how God’s love was expressed  “For God “so loved” the world in this way that he gave his one and only begotten Son”.  Jesus goes on to tell us the why – So that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Do you “so know” how much God loves you.  He loved you so much even in this way that is before you knew you needed a Savior.  When you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior you are a heir of salvation, purchased of God – are born of His Spirit  – washed in His blood. 

For God so loved the world he gave because I needed a Savior.   I couldn’t earn it, and I don’t deserve it, still, You give Yourself away-oh what great love this is!

Message for December 8, 2024 from Pastor Shirley

Isaiah 61:3 “To preserve those who mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of  heaviness, that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.” 
 In the above verse we are shown the remedy for the spirit of heaviness.  Heaviness always has the sense of anxiety, sorrow, grief, fear, dread.”  The word “heaviness” in this verse is the Hebrew word “keheh” which in addition to heaviness means “to grow dim, fade and faint”.  The spirit of heaviness wants you to grow weak, weary, and lose your praise!  This robs you of your joy.  Isaiah 61:3 tells us there is a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. 
Kingdom Dynamics Spirit Filled Life Bible
The Glorious Garment of Praise.                                              
The Hebrew root for garment shows clothing casually thrown over our shoulders.  It literally teaches us to “wrap” or “cover” ourselves-that the garment of praise is to leave no openings through which hostile elements can penetrate.  This garment of praise repels and replaces the heavy Spirit.  This special message of instruction and hope is for those oppressed by fear or double.  Put on this garment.   A warm coat from our closet only resists the cold wind when it is “put on.”  When distressed be dressed-with praise!  Act according to God’s Word!

Pastor’s desk

The love of God is extended to you everyday.  The Lord’s grace is equal to anything you might face today.  Walk in faith and be blessed.  You are highly favored in God’s eyes.  Afterall, He sent his son to die for you even while you were yet a sinner.  His love knows no limits and His blood cleanses from all sin.  With God on your side what can stand against you?
