Acts 4:13Notes From the Pastor's Desk #notesfromthepastorsdesk 📖Acts 4:13 (ESV) Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. 📘Pastor's Note: God uses unschooled, ordinary men who walk with Jesus! A PHD is not required…as a matter of fact, in our weaknesses, He is more glorified because it demonstrates His strength. How precious and gracious He is to lowly man for His Name sake! Have a blessed day worshiping and serving the Lord of glory! 🙏I'm praying for you always. ❤️God Bless!

In English, it could be expressed as "It is completely complete" or "It is perfectly perfect." Was God's wrath satisfied on the cross? Absolutely. Not only was it satisfied, but it was also perfectly and completely satisfied. Jesus took upon Himself every evil consequence that rebellion had brought upon humanity, exhausting every curse of God's broken law. All of this was done so that we might, in turn, receive the true blessing of salvation due to His obedience. His grace is truly marvelous! Remember, "It is finished!" 🙏I'm praying for you always. ❤️God Bless!

This morning, I woke up with the question in my heart, "What will this year bring?" Then, I was convicted that it was the wrong question I was asking. The better questions are, "What will God do this year, and how can I be obedient in my participation for His will to be accomplished?" This scripture from Acts 13 demonstrates the answer to those questions. God has made us to be a light to this lost world so that salvation can be brought to the ends of the earth. We are Gospel-carrying messengers of His Son, Jesus Christ. We are to proclaim the Good News of Jesus so that others may be saved from sin and death and be made right with the living God! That’s what this new year will bring. That’s our purpose in 2024 until we breathe our last — to glorify Him by making disciples who, in turn, make other disciples of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I am praying for you today and ask you to pray for me. Let’s pray that we are faithful at being the light God has called us to be in this ever-darkening world until He comes again. 🙏I'm praying for you always. ❤️ Pastor Jamie Read the Chapter: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2034&version=ESV Learn more about us: www.mygpchurch.com/whoweare  |
