Placing the Impossible in God's Hands

God’s Truth Reigns—John 14:5-6 God’s Word is true, correct, real, and reliable. We believe in the one, absolute, and unfailing truth; God. God is sovereign, all-knowing, all-present, and is the only truth. Christ, God’s flesh on earth, is the way, the truth, and the life. Therefore, all scripture is the true and only authority. We will teach His Word, hide it in our hearts and let His truth reign in our lives. Sunday, March 22, 2020 Life Transformation—Romans 12:1-2 When we hold God’s truth in our lives, we should (as an act of obedience) present ourselves as a living sacrifice, being transformed by the renewing of our mind. We need to daily understand that our identity is in Christ. Our primary focus should be to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind. As our heart is lined up to God’s standard, our reflection should be of His character. May we allow God’s Word, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to transform our heart to walk in His character. Faith Community—Eph 1:3-14, 5:16-17 We are a church, composed of people from various backgrounds and life experiences. We all have a common thread. We are all sinners in need of God’s gracious gift of salvation. We have been covered by His unexplainable grace. In contrast to the world, a faith community is a place for us and our families to remember who we are in Christ, to find refuge in the truth of His Word, to find renewed strength in His hope, and to remember and celebrate God’s character and works. It is our goal to provide an environment that helps build a relationship with God. Yet, our goal is to increase our community with those in an authentic relationship with God.

Tired, exhausted, and at their limits, Jesus took them on a retreat to a desolate area. Once there, a large crowd greeted them on the shore. The test for the disciples had started. Instead of running from the crowd, Jesus saw it as a ministry opportunity. The miracle of feeding the five thousand revealed that Jesus is the Great Provider. The miracle was also to benefit the disicples faith. In these chaotic times, we can benefit from the principles from this miracle.
