SUNDAY CHOICE – “WAIT” Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried, Quietly, patiently, lovingly God replied. I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate, And the Master so gently said, “Child, you must wait.” “Wait? You say, wait? ” my indignant reply. “Lord, I need answers, I need to know why! Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard? By Faith, I have asked, and I am claiming your Word. My future and all to which I can relate Hangs in the balance, and YOU tell me to “WAIT”? I’m needing a ‘yes’, a go-ahead sign, Or even a ‘no’ to which I can resign. And Lord, You promised that if we believe We need but to ask, and we shall receive. And Lord, I’ve been asking, and this is my cry: I’m weary of asking! I need a reply! Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate As my ...

SUNDAY CHOICE – What release the saviour gave me–“He is not here; he has risen!-Luke 24:6-7: “ “And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. Matthew 28:5-7 KJV The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Christian faith. Without the resurrection, the belief in God’s saving grace and mercy through Jesus is void. When Jesus rose from the dead, he proved his divinity as the Son of God and his works of atonement, redemption, reconciliation, and salvation. The resurrection was a real, physical raising of Jesus’ body from the ...
SUNDAY CHOICE – Man of Sorrows “He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.” Isaiah 53:3 “He bore rejections and ridicule on our account. He received scoffing and shame in our place. Through His shed life-blood our pardon for sin was secured and sealed.. and life-everlasting was the gracious gift that we received – and all we had to do was to believe on His name. Hallelujah – what a Saviour. He carried our griefs. He bore our sorrow and on our account He had the full fury of God’s wrath against sin poured out upon HIM as He hung on that cross, 2000 years ago. He was smitten of God and grossly afflicted. He was pierced through for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities. The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him and ...
SUNDAY CHOICE – What Is The Meaning Of The Cross? – The Old Rugged Cross–A Message for Lent Crosses can be found all over the world! They can be seen on church steeples, books, t-shirts, etc. Some people wear cross necklaces around their necks or get crosses tattooed on their bodies. Yet, the cross is so much more than a logo or a trendy fashion statement. The cross in earlier times The cross, as we know it today, did not always have a positive connotation. In the days of Jesus, the Roman government would kill criminals by nailing them to a wooden cross. Crucifixion was (and is) one of the most painful ways to die and one of the cruellest forms of execution. Large nails would be driven through the criminal’s hands and feet. It was a slow death that often lasted over the span of several days. During this time the ...
SUNDAY CHOICE – A MESSAGE FOR LENT- Behind The Song “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” (Ephesians 2:13) What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus. — There is power, power wonder working power in the precious blood of the Lamb.—There, to my heart was the blood applied Glory to His Name. When I was a young girl, I sang these words at the top of my lungs at my church. My Gammy played the B3, and my Dad would sing- My Mom and I sat on the very front row and I was taught from birth that worshiping God was a good thing. So I did, and I loved it. I loved God with my whole heart even at four years old, and though I didn’t fully comprehend the weight of the words ...
SUNDAY CHOICE – He took my place on Calvary …how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!—-Romans 5:17 If you see yourself as unworthy, as not measuring up, as undeserving of God’s grace, the problem is that you’re not receiving the gift of righteousness. The accuser will tell you that you’ve made too many mistakes, you’ve failed too many times, and you’ll never get it right. But the Scripture speaks of how God has made you righteous because of what Christ has done. “Righteous” means “to be holy, blameless, honorable.” It doesn’t say you’re going to be righteous one day when you’re good enough, but God says, “You are My holy, righteous, blameless, honorable, anointed, amazing child right now.” Who are you going to believe? Are you going to let the accuser deceive ...
SUNDAY CHOICE – IS YOUR CROSS TOO HEAVY TO BEAR? “Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life” (Rev. 2:10). Experiences in life can take a beating on the faith of Christians. The saints in Smyrna, in the first century, were on the verge of experiencing severe persecution. John wrote this epistle to encourage them to not quit, but to press on. Whether you are a student, faculty or staff, you will experience your share of tribulations, trials, or troubles in this life. There may occur times when you will think that God is unfair with you by giving you a cross you can’t bear or much larger ...
SUNDAY CHOICE As Christ laid down his life voluntarily for our sins, he paid the full penalty for all sin, of all people, of all time — past, present, and future. At the time of his death, the huge curtain in the Temple which separated the place of God’s presence in the Holy of Holies was torn in two, from top to bottom. “This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth ...
SUNDAY CHOICE – A GOOD WAY TO START THE DAY —HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS Matthew 11:28-29—- ” Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” You are welcome to pass this on. Lyrics: I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in And then a little light from heaven fill my soul He bathed my heart in love and He wrote my name above And just a little talk with Jesus makes me whole Now let us have a little talk with Jesus Let us tell Him all about our troubles He will hear our faintest cry, He will answer by and by And when you feel a little prayer wheel turnin’ ...
SUNDAY CHOICE – I KNOW A MAN WHO CAN “Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”—-Matthew 11:28-30 “These great words of our Lord have been a balm to millions of weary Christians. God does not promise a life devoid of hardship, but for those who have attempted to carry their own burdens and earn their own salvation, it is water to a man in a desert who is dying of ...
