#scripturesunday Its never too late for redemption

As we enter the month of April and begin looking at what Easter means to us, we will be focusing on Redemption.

In the first two weeks of April, we are delving into why Jesus came.

One of the main reasons that Jesus came to this earth was to rescue us.
He came on a “Rescue Mission and we needed it.”

Luke 19:10 “For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”

John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”

Romans 5:8 “God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."

If we look at the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, we find a loving Father that is not out to punish His son for going astray, but lavishes him with love and welcomes him home.

We see a Father constantly on the lookout, waiting for His son to come home.

Jesus came to rescue us. God saw the state that we were in and knew that if something drastic didn’t happen, we would die in our sins and be lost forever.

He sent Jesus on a rescue mission.

Will you receive His love today? He is standing there with open arms, waiting for you to come home.

We want to thank the Western Way Corral choir for sharing their extraordinary talents with our guests and staff. Your beautiful harmonies lifted our spirits, making your performance a true gift to our hearts. We feel truly blessed and thankful to have had you with us!

#ScriptureSunday Follow Where He Leads

This week, we are looking at what it means to walk in the Spirit.
This month, we have discussed that once we receive Jesus as Lord, the Holy Spirit comes and lives in us. Because He lives in us, we need to be aware of two essential things to live our lives by His direction.

First, we need to throw off the things that would hinder us. There are so many things in the world that we live in that vies for our attention. So many of those things cause us to take our eyes off Jesus. It is so important that we fix our eyes on Him and ask ourselves the question, "Does this draw me closer to Jesus, or does it hinder my walk with Him?"

Hebrews 12:1,2
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

The second is that if you have the Holy Spirit, you hear His voice. John 10:3 says that the sheep hear the shepherd's voice. He calls us by name and leads us.

This week, cast off those things that hinder you. Focus on your relationship with Jesus. Tune out the voices of the world. Listen to the voice of the Spirit and follow where He leads
