Kept by God | Oct.20th

" Who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."

1 Peter 1:5

We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, and in Christ alone. Within this vital truth is not only the assurance of God saving us but protecting us as well.

The Christian does not finish the race set before them by merit or sheer willpower. There would be a failure on our part if this were the case.

Although we walk by faith, it is the grace of God that affords us such faith. He strengthens our faith. The Spirit of God empowers us to continue by His grace.

If you are weary today and discouraged, do not think all is lost. You will endure because of the grace of God. The Lord has ensured victory in Christ. He has promised to bring you safely to the end. God will not fail you.

In Christ Alone,

Be Filled | Oct. 19th

" For He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things."

Psalm 107:9

Beloved, here is a promise from our heavenly Father to satisfy the void within our spirit. Sin has left us barren. We attempt to fill our lives with many things while looking for a sense of purpose and identity. When we hear the truth, power, and life of the Gospel, is when we realize our condition. That we need salvation and that there is only one Savior, Jesus Christ.

When the Holy Spirit brings regeneration to a life, we long for God and to be filled with the truth of His word. God will fulfill this promise. He will not turn us away but will abundantly satisfy us.

Take heart then and seek the Lord today. Taste and see that the Lord is good. You will never thirst again.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

In Trouble | Oct. 18th

"Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress."

Psalm 107:6

Are you in trouble, beloved? Is there distress in your heart? There are perplexing moments in our lives that are hard to understand, even for the child of God who is trying to trust the Lord.

We know what scripture has told us about the faithfulness of God. We believe that He can do all things. We trust in His providence. We believe we are in His will. Yet, there is trouble.

Be not dismayed. Cry out to the Lord in your trouble. He will be faithful to deliver you from your distress. He has promised not to forsake you and to finish the good work that He has begun in your life. The Lord will make His grace sufficient in your moments of weakness. Continue to trust that nothing will separate you from His lovingkindness in Christ.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
