The Word Infusion

Do you ever feel like you have a difficult life?  We have all been taught the principle that Jesus came in human form to this Earth.  By doing this He fully understood what our life is like and can relate to what we experience.  Many times we look at His human experiences from his Adult life found in the gospels.  Yet, we can learn something from His Childhood that is written about in prophetic form in Psalm 69.  This insight to Jesus human life on Earth can help us deal with our human lives of difficulty.  Even our children can see how Jesus experienced some of the same things they might experience.  At any age we can be encouraged to know that Jesus understands and can help us through our difficult lives.

In this chapter of I John, the Apostle John reminds us that we need to "test the spirits".  In other words, we need to make sure that what teachers/preachers/leaders are telling us is really the Word of God.  We need to be well founded in the Word of God.  He also reminds us that God is Love.  Therefore, if we are not living in love towards one another than we must not be one of God's children.

In this chapter of Acts we will see the Apostle Paul go to Macedonia and Greece.  He spent much time teaching and exhorting there.  While in Troas Paul preaches all night long until dawn, during which time a young man falls asleep in the window and falls to his death.  Paul performs a miracle and brings him back to life and the fellowship and preaching continues on.  There is a great hunger for the Word of God found amongst the people.

Pastor Terry reminds us that living our lives in a manner that reflects the truth of Jesus as the Anchor of our lives with glorify God!

If we accept God as the truth, then God and truth should be in all areas of our lives.  God is not to be compartmentalized.  As we begin this New Year, we need to focus on glorifying God in everything we do.

In this message Pastor Terry reminds us to never forget the price nor the promise given for the new born King.

In this section of Chapter 3 the Apostle John gives us the command to love.  Loving our fellow brother and sisters in the Lord is the one behavior that shows we are followers of Christ.  He uses the example Cain and Abel to illustrate his point.  He reminds us that Jesus demonstrated the ultimate love to us when He laid down His life for us.  We need to show love to be pleasing in God's sight.

In this chapter of Acts we see the attack on Jason and Paul and Silas as a result move on to Berea to minister.  After that Paul begins reaching out to the Philosophers at Athens.  He addresses the Areopagus and we learn the concept of using what is familiar to people to witness to them.  The great witnessing message "To the Unknown God" teaches this idea.
