Jesus Loves Me: The SENIOR version

One Sunday night, a church in Atlanta was honoring one of its senior pastors who had been retired many years. He was 92 at that time and some wondered why the church even bothered to ask the old gentleman to preach at that age. . . .

Psalm 23 – a new look

The Lord is my Shepherd = That’s Relationship!
I shall not want = That’s Supply!
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures = That’s Rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters = That’s Refreshment!

I have sinned

Have you sinned?

Even if you have, there is GOOD NEWS!

in two days…

It’s March 31st . . .

45 ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’ 46 “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.” (Matthew 25:45-46)

1 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples, 2 “As you know, Passover begins in two days, and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.” (Matthew 26:1-2)

Get to know them
Do things THEY want to do
Include THEM in things you like to do

1 John 4:7-8 states: God is Love
 “Love” originates in God 
Love can never fail (see 1 Corinthians 13:8)
However…non-Christians are separated from this love, so [...]

Abiding love

“Abiding love surrounds those who trust in the Lord.” – Psalm 32:10

Holy…Holy…Holy…
