4.20.25 Look and live!
This Easter Sunday morning let’s look at the simple and yet profound message of one of the most famous verses in all the Bible.
What exactly did God do (John 3.16)?
Why did He do it (John 3.17)?
And what difference does it make (John 3.18)?
Today, let’s LOOK and LIVE!
John 3.16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
In the fictitious Screwtape Letters, CS Lewis gives voice to the tempter’s strategy:
We do want very much, to make (people) treat Christianity as a means; preferably, of course, as a means to their own advancement, but failing that, as a means to anything… “Believe this, not because it is true, but for some other reason.”

4.13.25 Palm sunday
This Palm Sunday morning let’s take a pause to give thanks for what God has done in our lives. Let’s take a quick look at what happened on Palm Sunday when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey’s cult. And let’s listen to His encouragement as He reminds each of us to never give up.
Are you a bit discouraged this Sunday before Easter? Let me encourage you to come to the Father - again & again. He is just, He is kind & He cares for you.
Psalms 107.2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble…
John MacArthur: The people knew but they would not believe; Because they would not believe - they ceased to know.
