Our Inheritance
by David G. Rose
Most people are excited when they learn that they will be receiving a large inheritance from the estate of a loved one. Few refuse to receive it, but there may be stipulations.
As Christians, Christ has left an inheritance for us that is overwhelming. The Apostle Peter describes it in 1 Peter 1:3-5 NKJV, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”
Let me share several scripture references that reveal certain aspects of our Divine inheritance. Please take the time to read each reference for a better understanding.
1. Hebrews 1:14 explains that as Christians, we are heirs of Salvation. Because Christ has died on the Cross and was Resurrected from the Grave, He has bequeathed to us the promise of salvation through His shed blood.
2. 1 Peter 3:7 discloses that as Believers, we are heirs of the grace of Life. A Godly marriage has the power no angel has, which is to bring human beings into existence.
3. Hebrews 6:17 reveals that Believers are heirs of all the glorious promises that God has made to us through Christ. As God kept His promises to Abraham, so we have the assurance that God will keep His promises to us.
4. James 2:5 describes that Believers are heirs to the marvelous Kingdom of God. Jesus has promised that each Believer has been promised an allotted possession by right of sonship.
5. Hebrews 11:7 clarifies that through Christ, we are heirs of His holy righteousness. This promise was seen in the faith of Noah who obeyed God and was honored for his trusting heart.
6. Romans 8:17 reveals that Believers are heirs of the Glory of God. If we suffer for Christ in our lifetime, God has promised that we will share in the Glory that Christ receives.
7. Galatians 4:6,7 promises that as Believers, we are heirs of God. We will inherit a portion of God Himself. Anything less than God can be sufficient and satisfactory for our eternal soul.
8. Romans 8:17 promises that as Believers we are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ. We will partake of the same glory with the glorified human nature of Christ.
Our greatest inheritance is Christ. He is worth any heartache or sorrow that we must bear on earth.

I will shout, I will sing
Jesus, You’re my everything
You’re my treasure, my inheritance
I am rich, I am blessed
In Your love, and faithfulness
You’re my treasure and forever
You are my inheritance!

Finally....
For stay at home Christians...
We started this ministry with you in mind. Recent reports state that many Christians no longer attend a church. They have been offended, or have to work, or they cannot physically leave their home, and so they stay at home.
Our heart is to reach out to you with Bible studies, hospital visitation, prayer for the sick, serving the Lord's Supper, counsel, etc. Just call on us and we will be of ministry if possible.
There is no obligation or membership. When you need personal ministry, click here for more information >>>>

Do whatever He tells you
SCRIPTURE
& PRAYER
John 2:1-5 ESV - On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his dis-ciples. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
Prayer: Dear Lord, I begin this day with praise and thanksgiving to you, my wonderful Savior and Lord. The scripture today reminds me of the marvelous miracles that Jesus performed. These miracles always revealed the compassion of God for His creation. And the words of Mary, “Do whatever He tells you,” is a powerful reminder for me to be faithful to the word of God and to respond quickly. Help me to trust you more. In the Name of Jesus I pray.
Our Responsibilities
As Believers
A Brief Study regarding the expectations
that Jesus has for His Believers
as found in John 17
The Glory of Jesus
by David G. Rose
We continue our series of articles based in John 17 discussing our responsibilities as Believers. Along with the awesome privileges we have, there are critical obligations that we must embrace so we can fulfil the callings of Christ.
Our third responsibility as Believers is stated in John 17:9-10 NKJV, “I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.” As Believers we must use every aspect of our lives to bring glory to Jesus.
How do we bring glory to Jesus? The Apostle Paul gave us good direction in 1 Corinthians 10:31, “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” We glorify Christ by placing our thoughts and actions on Him. Our words magnify Him, and our deeds bring honor to Christ and not ourselves.
Jesus always glorified the Father. This is an example for us to do the same. When you exercise your faith in Jesus, Christ is glorified. Let us walk daily for the glory of His Name.
Next week: As separated Ones
All-day Praise!
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep
for words.

How I Know God Exists
by Rev. Tom Miller
Three reasons I know God exists.
First is Creation. “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.” The unseen attributes and characteristics of God are seen via what He has made. If there is a building, there is a builder. If there is a painting, someone painted it. We call the creator, “God.”
Second is Intelligent Design. Scientists have instituted the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). As their sensors listen to the depths of space, they may hear random noise or patterns, but that does not indicate life. What they are listening for is information, which denotes intelligence, which signifies design. But they are inconsistent because DNA molecules are FULL of information. Therefore, there is a designer. We call Him “God.”
Third is the Moral Code Within Us. There are two voices that resonate inside each of us. The loudest voice is the self-preservation voice. It says, “protect yourself.” But there is also a voice that tells you what you SHOULD do. We do not operate based on the survival of the fittest voice because there is also a voice of virtue. We all know it’s wrong to torture babies or budge in front of elderly women in line at the store. Why? How? It’s the moral code wired into us making itself known.
Even the existence of evil does not disprove God. In fact, it does the opposite. If someone sees something as ‘evil,’ that posits there is also ‘good’. If there is both good and evil, there must be a moral law that differentiates between the two. And if there is a moral law, there is a moral law giver. We call Him “God.”
Creation. Intelligent Design. The Moral Code Within Us. Using logic, that’s how I know God exists.
Steps to
Finding
New Life
in Christ
If you desire to make Christ the Lord over your life, here are six important steps to take right now:
1. Admit that you have sinned against God- Romans 3:23
2. Understand that Jesus died for your sins and offers cleansing and salvation - Romans 5:8
3. Remember that if you continue to ignore the call of Christ, you will spend eternity separated from God - Romans 6:23
4. Place your faith in Christ. He will save you and provide a life of blessing - Romans 8:1
5. Confess your sins to Christ and repent for your works against God - Romans 10:9-10
6. Invite Jesus to be the Lord and Master of your life - Romans 10:13
Pray this prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that only you can forgive sins. I ask you to come into my heart, forgive my sins, and be the ruler of my life. Thank you for saving me from my sins. Thank you for the love that you show me everyday. I now know that eternal life is a gift given from you. I pray and ask that you be the Lord of my life, lead me, guide me and
direct my path that I may walk each and every day with you. In the wonderful name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
