Sermon Notes

 “While the earth remains the, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”

         - Genesis 8:22 kjv


The preacher spoke yesterday about “Sacrifice After the Storm”. Genesis 8:13-21 was the text. Todays verse 22 was also referenced.  The preacher spoke about how God prepared Noah for the storm. He advised him that in seven days, it was going to rain for 40 days and 40 nights.  We were admonished to consider Noah and what he may have been subjected to as he labored to build a boat in preparation for rain when people around him did not know rain.  Noah believed God and kept on building.

Noah and those on the boat rode the storm under the watchful protection of Almighty God.  We were told that not only was rain coming down from the sky  waters were also rising up.  From top to bottom the water poured.  When we think about the storms of life, we realize they can be all encompassing. Storms can rage so intensely, we may feel as though we are drowning.

But God made a provision for Noah.  In His time the rains stopped.  After so many days dry land appeared.  The rainbow sign was given. The preacher shed understanding regarding the rainbow.  Short definition, the sun shining through water droplets.  Look at God.

The rainbow sign, signifying that the sun will shine after the storm.  The morning is coming.  God is in control.  The seasons of life continue.  There is balance to the struggle. What do we do when God delivers us.  Do we offer a sacrifice of praise.  In the midst of the challenging weather, choose to worship.

God bless.

In Christ,

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
