Don't Give Up | September 19, 2023

"The Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame." -Isaiah 50:7

Christ fulfilled this verse for us, and by His example, we find hope and strength today. There is assurance that comes from knowing that we are in the will of God. That we, by grace, can move forward in life with courage. The Spirit of God enables us to persevere through every circumstance and season in life. There will never be a time when we will be disappointed for trusting God. We will never regret being obedient to His word. He will renew us and empower us every step of the way. Beloved, be not dismayed. Do not turn back or give up. Stay the course and trust the Lord. Set your face like a flint and follow Christ.

In Christ Alone,

Never Alone | September 18, 2023

"Behold, the Lord God helps me; who will declare me guilty?" -Isaiah 50:9

Beloved, do you need help today? There was a time when we were alienated from God and without hope in this world. Then Christ came and reconciled us unto the Father through His sacrifice. This assures us of peace within our hearts. There is not a person or spiritual being that can condemn you if the Lord has forgiven you. The Spirit of the Lord continues His work of transformation within us. We awake each day to a living hope in Christ that God is not against us but for us. With this comes the anticipation of His will fulfilled in our lives and the promise that God Himself will never forsake us. The unceasing love of the Lord affirms He will help us today. You are not alone, dear one. God is with you.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

Safe Sleep | September 15, 2023

"In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety." -Psalm 4:8

Beloved, have you ever considered how vulnerable we are when we sleep? We live in a time when we can secure our homes in multiple ways; however, none of these precautions can guarantee nothing will happen. Our very well-being is within the hand of God. With everything secured around us, there is no assurance that we will awake in the morning. It is by God's mercy. Though this might be frightening, it is also a glimpse of the resurrection. Every morning could be considered a preparation for passing from this life into the next. We slip off to sleep only to be awakened again unto another day. There will come a day when we will close our physical eyes but for a moment only to be awakened by the glory of our Lord. The day will come when immortality will be our garment. We will dwell with the Lord forever and ever. Fear not; you dwell in safety.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
