MEMORIAL DAY 2022
MEMORIAL DAY 2022
SLIDE 1 “MEMORIAL DAY” image slide
Everyone enjoying this long weekend
Memorial Day.......just stop and pause and let that sink in
Any family here that has loved ones who defended freedom and liberty
For who?
SLIDE 2 “NATIONAL CEMETERY” image slide
Ever been to a funeral service for those who have served?
Ever wonder what a mom or dad, family member feels or goes through on this memorial day weekend?
SLIDE 3 “FAMILY AT CEMETERY” image slide
Are they celebrating along with us and grateful their loved one played a part in everyone's freedom or at a graveside somewhere?
SLIDE 4 “FAMILY AT CEMETERY” image slide
Parade yesterday / parades all over - expressing gratitude or freedom....both
Does this remembrance day at all come from the heart of God? Can we make that connection and insert it into the great blessings our country has enjoyed?
SLIDE 5
16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
SLIDE 6
7 Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.
SLIDE 7
8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.”
SLIDE 8
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as referring to many, but rather to one, “And to your seed,” that is, Christ.
SLIDE 9
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
If we have the heart of God connected to this memorial weekend then next question is are we passing it down and teaching it?
SLIDE 10 “FATHER & SON CEMETERY” image slide
Who is ultimately responsible for sharing and teaching it? Who can be trusted today to share it truthfully? The parents and the church
SLIDE 11 “FATHER & DAUGHTER CEMETERY” image slide
Example .......the scouts / media and social media / schools and colleges?
Everything we hear has to align with or come from the heart of God and council of God in His word.
I was in a discussion with someone, going to college, a discussion about a fight going on in our nation and world for liberty and freedom. He felt the church should stay out of teaching these values......................................
I was also talking with someone with church organizations and him telling me some of the falseness being taught in our seminaries now. Not only that but the true actions and lifestyles of those in the seminaries.
SLIDE 12 “MEMORIAL DAY” image slide
This fight for freedom has not changed all the way back to biblical times. Those in power lying to the people and promising and deceiving them for something seems to be good for them and will be better for them and ultimately leads to being controlled being oppressed instead of true freedom handed down by the heart of our God through His Son.
Satan used that tactic from the very beginning in the garden, a lie that sounded like more freedom and blessings that they had and ultimately just led to sin and death
Jesus said in Matthew 24:24 that even in our times today there would be so much false truth in the world that even the elect might be deceived.
Even as soon a s the church had evolved and Paul was writing the book of Galatians, the enemy still was up to his same tricks and lies and this is in all forms today.
SLIDE 13
4 But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.
The context here is more about legalism in the church but the tactic and lie still comes from satan, something that sounds better but ultimately leads to bondage
Paul’s says in the next verse.....”But we didn’t yield to subjection to them for even one hour!, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you!”
Pastor Paul and Pastor Emma in Uganda riding in the van.........our nation and others experience more peace and blessings when the US is being lead more in the ways of God’s word. The effects are almost immediate as if a different spirit has fallen over us.
SLIDE 14
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
When the founders were writing the constitution and forming our government Mrs Elizabeth Powell shouted out to Benjamin Franklin
“Doctor!, do we have a republic or a monarchy?, Franklin replied, a republic if you can keep it”
How do I stay in truth ....one way be careful what you are researching and listening to. Wallbuilders / David Barton, amazing source of truth and history for our country - all lined up along side biblical truth and how it applies to our nation.
Brings me to the close for today. Teaching our children and young adults. Those on the front lines of our church, first always needs to be the parents and the ones ultimately held responsible.
Amy and Dustyn and youth camp. How eternally powerful this is for the young adults and their generation. How it relates to what happened in Uvalde
Teaching the kids and passing on the truth of God’s word and His guidance. We are commanded to do that in His word.
