Temporary much!


If you guys where in Hamilton or anywhere in the GTA the last two summers you can defiantly relate, also Minnesota seems to have the same type of weather so yall can relate too!  The house I lived in the summer before, to make things worse, didn't even have an AC! One of the days I and my housemates happened to stay indoors to avoid the heat, but it turns out that our house has changed into a walking sauna bath.  Luckily, one of my housemates had stocked our freezer with freezes. On summer days like those it’s almost impossible to do without them. The pile that looked like a supply for 10,000 years finished in no time. That was because the satisfaction of one freeze was only temporary; you would need a second one right after you finish the first one. Aren't things of this world as temporary as the freezes or the relief they gave?

If we look at scripture, John 4:3-26, Jesus describes how temporary this world is. He went to a town in Samaria near a plot of land Jacob had given his son and now where all his descendants live. Around noon Jesus approached a well of water and sees a Samaritan lady near the well. He asked her if she could give Him some water to drink. She angled off to what seems like a different topic and mentioned how He is a Jew and she, a Samaritan (at that time Jews and Samaritans didn't cross each other’s path let alone to ask for a hand in anything).  But, what this lady didn't know is He who asked her for mere earthly water is the Fountain of life,   Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” John 4:10. Jesus was gracious enough to take His time to explain to her the difference between the water He asked for and the one He can give. In John 4:13-14 He says,”13 Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

Note:
·         The point is, we can’t boast because we have things of this world, one day it’s there the next its not! Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 1:31
Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Power of Doing More than Expected

Even Jesus went a little farther...He did more than expected! Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 1) Jacob was working for his unfair father-in-law...and still did more than expected   Genesis 29 Jacob was tricked by his father-in-law Laban. But he never sinned against Laban and he always did more than what was expected from him! 2) Who did Jacob learn it from..doing more than expected? From his mother Rebekah "17  The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” 18  “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. 19  After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20  So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the we...

Just Jaded!

I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these crazy times. If any tragedy has come to your home, I pray God's peace and love envelops you right where you are. I pray that you rely on His unending love, mercy, grace, and strength in this time of hardship... I am, like most people, feeling very jaded. I have experienced more highs and lows in such intense frequencies now than any other time I can remember. I believe this is why the Lord has me sharing this... I had planned to write about loving people and what it looks like in different seasons. However, I felt a nudge that I should be sharing about the hope I have despite feeling jaded. To make sure we are on the same page about what I mean when I say jaded, here are two definitions from Merriam Webster's dictionary:  1: fatigued by overwork: EXHAUSTED  2: made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by having or seeing too much of something I can identify with both definitions. In this season, I fin...
