The Grave is Powerless | Nov.26th

c" I shall ransom them from the power of Sheol; I shall redeem them from Death."

Hosea 13:14

The greatest fear of man is death. The reality of which we cannot escape. No matter how well we care for ourselves, death comes to everyone at some point. It reminds us of our fallen condition, the penalty of sin, and the consequences of rebellion against God.

While we were in this fallen state of hopelessness, Christ came. He died for our iniquity and redeemed us from the penalty of sin. The resurrection and ascension of Jesus assure us of our resurrection. The promise of being with God for all eternity because Christ has conquered sin and death on our behalf.

We have hope for today when strength slowly departs from our spirit and body. We believe we shall see all those who have died in Christ. Today, we rest in the promise of eternity and that Christ has gone to prepare a place for us where we shall dwell with Him for all eternity.

In Christ Alone,

Help from God | Nov. 25th

"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in Glory in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:19

Beloved, the assurance we have for today is not in ourselves or in what we can accomplish with our resources. It is knowing that the creator of heaven and earth has promised to sustain us.

The Lord has promised to supply His people with grace and mercy, to give us strength for the day while enabling us to walk uprightly before Him. To give us a way of escape from temptation, strength to resist the enemy, and His armor for the battle when we are tempted.

God has promised to supply all of our needs and to enable us to have fellowship with Him in Christ. Be assured today that the Lord is with you and willing to help you. Put your trust in Him and God will meet you at every point.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

Does God Delight in Me | Nov. 22nd

"For the Lord takes pleasure in his people, he adorns the humble with salvation."

Psalm 149:4

The accuser of the saints often causes God's people to wonder if the Lord finds pleasure in them. Condemnation from the enemy or misunderstanding God's mercy add to our doubts. We wonder if there is any hope of God's pleasure in us.

Beloved, do not allow your brokenness to cause you to doubt the truth of God's word. God has declared His pleasure in you and has promised to adorn you with salvation. Salvation belongs to God alone and has chosen us in Christ.

The Lord delights in you, and you belong to Him. Be reassured of His lovingkindness towards you and be at peace.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
