Standard

Oh! Wow!  Why Is This So Hard???

When I Know That…

You said, “Lights on!”
And a blinding sea of stars begin to shine…
You said, “Birds sing!”
And a million melodies filled up the sky…
You set this world…
Spinning through a crowded Milky Way…
Well, the sun comes up…
And the sun goes down…

And God doesn’t seem to need my help!

But the One who holds the sea in place…
Is watchin’ out for every step I take…

I think I’ll let God be God!!

Givin’ up control…

Think I’ll relax…

Step back…

It’s time for letting go…

If You kept the Universe in sync…
A million years, or so…
Since the “Keeper of Creation” knows…

I think I’ll let God be God!!

You clap Your hands…
The thunder rolls and lightning fills the sky…
You breathe new life…
A tiny newborn baby starts to cry…
The time rolls in, and it rolls back out…

And never has God needed me to help!

The One who sees the sparrow fall…
And what I need before I even call!

Yeah, nothin’ takes You by surprise…
Never late, always on time…
The One who holds the sea in place…
Is watchin’ out for every step I take!

Amen!

It’s Simple!!

I Think I’ll Let God Be God!

Redeemed! Rejoice!

“In Him we have Redemption

through His blood,

the forgiveness of sins,

according to the riches of His grace.”

Ephesians 1:8  NIV

“I Believe”

New Devotional Booklet:  by Roy Lessin

“Confessing The Truths Your Heart Believes…

I Believe… in Redemption!

I Believe… Jesus is my Redeemer!

And He has Redeemed me through His shed blood.

His Redemption means that He has bought me at a great price!

The highest price that could be paid for my ransom!

I Believe…that His ransom…

Means that I am no longer in bondage to satan…

Stuck in a horrible pit of despair…

Or a slave to sin…

I Believe… that my Redemption means that I am no longer my own…

And that my purpose it to serve Jesus…

And glorify Him!

Not unwillingly…

But from the heart…

As His bond servant…

I count it a privilege to serve Him for love’s sake…

I Believe… His ownership of my life…

Brings me great comfort…

Deep peace…

And overflowing joy!”

REDEEMED?

Jesus Christ.”

the Lord Jesus,

and shalt believe

                               in thy heart                                

that God hath raised him from the dead,

thou shalt be saved.”

Who’s Got The Power???

Standard

Jesus is your power source!!

Hey Kids!

Our Kids Church is called “Kidtricity!”

Here’s one of our object lessons…

“Plug In To The Right Power Source”

From:  http://www.calledtokids.com  July 19, 2010 by Marla   Filed under God’s Power, Holy Spirit

“‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

Zechariah 4:6 (NIV)

Props needed for this object lesson:

A variety of electrical/battery operated items,

and power supplies (cell phone charger, batteries, extension cords, etc.)

Lesson:  I brought several items with me today to help demonstrate God’s power.

Let’s see…

I have a flashlight, a fan and a cell phone.

None of these things can operate by itself;

all of these items require power to work.

And we all need power and strength to do what God has called us to do.

He has called us to do great things in life…

but, we will never do those things without power.

            So let’s see if I can get these items to operate.

(Attempt to plug cell phone charger into flashlight, then turn the switch to “on.”)

Something’s wrong.

The flashlight isn’t working.

I plugged it in, but I still can’t get it to turn on.

Well, let me try the fan.

(Put batteries on top of the fan and turn on switch).

I don’t understand.

I put the batteries on the fan,

and it’s still not working.

The flashlight isn’t working and the fan isn’t working,

so maybe I can get the cell phone to work.

(Attempt to plug the cell phone into the extension cord).

Nothing seems to be working for me today!

What am I doing wrong?

(Allow kids to respond).

Oh, did I get things a little mixed up?  

(Rearrange the items and plug them into their correct power sources).

Now things seem to be working!

            Everyone is created to do a special work for the Lord.

Work requires power and strength.

The problem is,

many people try to rely on their own power.

They think they can do the work themselves.

That’s like plugging in the cell phone to this extension cord.

If you’re working in your own power,

you’re tapped into the wrong power source.

Your power won’t get you very far.

God’s power working through you will get the work done.

When you trust in Him,

you’ll work just like these items

when they have the right power source.

            Remember to work in the strength of God’s Spirit.

Kids!

 Connect to the right power source!

 God’s got all the power!

 He’ll flip the switch…

 And leave the dark behind…

 So light up and let it shine!

 You’re in the dawn of your finest hour

 So get wired to the highest power

 He gets the praise…

 He owns the show

 Walk in His footsteps

 For a brighter day

 Follow His Word…

 He lights your way!

 Lift up His banner…

 Raise it high…

 Light up the sky! 

 Just be the conduit…

And give Him all the glory!

Amen!!

Nope! Face It! He’s Never Gonna Change!

Standard

His Love will never fail you!

Nothing can separate you from His Love…

Even if you run away…

Even if you make mistakes…

He stays the same through the ages…

His Love for you never changes…

Your pain in the night…

Becomes joy in the morning…

When oceans rage…

Don’t be afraid…

Know that He loves you…

And that’s never gonna change!

When the wind is strong…

And the water’s deep…

Trust in Him!

You’ll see…

You’re never alone in the open seas…

The chasm’s wide, but…

Jesus is the bridge…

So, you’ll reach the other side…

Because…

“…we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,

who have been called according to His purpose.”

Romans 8:28  NIV

Love like that can’t fail!

Amen!

Things Of This World Grow Strangely Dim…

Standard

How can Christians stay so focused in this world???

They’re eyes are fixed on God!

All the things of this world suddenly grow strangely dim…

Things they loved to do, or say, no longer matter…

No longer entice and ensnare them…

Worldly things fade in God’s light!

Doubts and worries go…

His Peace embraces…

All that He is…

Is all that’s important!

They seek His face…

And don’t look around…

They know who’s holding them…

Safely in His arms…

And they know the world…

Can’t offer anything that compares to that!
