A Pleasant Land | Oct. 12th

" Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise. They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the Lord."

Psalm 106:24 -25

The Israelites doubted God's ability to bring them into the promised land. Rather than trusting the Lord, they complained in their tents instead of enjoying the pleasant land.

Beloved, there are times in which we will be tempted to do the very same thing. We go through trying times ourselves and doubt if God sees us or will ever fulfill His promises unto us. Let us not remain in tents of dispair and disobedience.

Prayerfully ask the Lord to open your eyes to the beauty around you. Acknowledge the present faithfulness and goodness of God in your life. His mercy is new every morning, and His lovingkindness is unceasing. There is no reason to doubt or complain. Trust in the faithfulness of God. The Lord will bring you through.

Forgiveness of Sin | Oct. 11th

Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld."

John 20: 22 - 23

The essential message in preaching is the Gospel. The Church then becomes of utmost importance. No other institution and message liberates one's soul from the penalty of sin. The Church that makes Christ paramount through the preeminent preaching of the Gospel brings life to souls once dead in sin.

The Bible and pulpit must be at the center of corporate worship. For faith comes by the hearing of God's word. It is His word that convicts, causing repentance and the forgiveness of sin. The life that hardens itself against the truth of God's word does not receive the mercy of God. Sins are forgiven or unforgiven through the preaching of the Gospel.

In Christ Alone,

Instruction | Oct. 10th

" I will instruct you."

Psalm 32:8

As Christians there will be times when we are perplexed. When we do not have an immediate answer for circumstances we are facing. The confidence we have for the future is in knowing that if we trust God, hold to His word, and follow him in faithful obedience, then the Lord will lead us. The will of God is performed in His timing.

There is a wisdom that comes from above. Affirmed through scripture and renews our minds. If you need instruction today, beloved? Are there questions weighing upon your heart and mind? Then, seek the Lord through prayer and the Word. He has promised to give wisdom to anyone who asks. The Lord will instruct you in righteousness and lead you.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
