Seven Promises
by David G. Rose
Have you ever made a promise to a loved one? No doubt they expected you to keep each promise because love trusts. Jesus has made many promises to His children, and we can trust Him to keep those promises. Love trusts.
The promises of Jesus are practical, not theoretical or philosophical. His promises are personal and are available to us now. When Jesus says, “I will,” you can trust His sacrificial love that authenticates each promise.
Here are seven “promises” that Jesus has made:
1. I will give you rest - Matthew 11:28. We live in a world of great unrest. Hurried schedules, disruptive co-workers, noisy neighbors, and political uncertainty rob us of rest. But there is hope in Jesus. He is our refuge in the storm, a shelter for the weary, and our sure foundation.
2. I will in no wise cast you out - John 6:37. When we come to Christ in faith, repenting and turning from our sins, embracing Christ with our whole heart, and consecrating ourselves with a pure heart, we find ourselves secure in Him. If we will abide with Him and He will abide with us.
3. I will, be thou clean - Luke 5:13. In the Bible, leprosy was a dreaded disease. It disfigured the body and led to a painful death. But the leper also represented the outcast of society. Jesus not only healed the disease, He restored the outcast to fellowship with others. What a beautiful comparison to the ministry of salvation and Divine restoration.
4. I will confess you before My Father - Matthew 10:32. Jesus never intended our faith in Him to be private. He calls us to live our Christian life openly and with boldness. If you are a Christian, say so! Yes, it is getting harder to publicly profess Jesus as your Lord. But to be passive in this perverse society borders on disowning Christ all together. Confess Him, and He will confess you!
5. I will make you fishers of men - Matthew 4:19. Christ is making each of us a strong witness of His mercy and love for the lost. Here, the comparison is made between soul-winning and fishing. As one would prepare to go fishing, so one must prepare to share Christ with others. But we must be willing and ready to respond to the call of Christ
6. I will pray the Father and He will give you another Comforter - John 14:16. At Pentecost in Acts 2, this promise of Jesus was fulfilled. Now, the work of the Holy Spirit is to teach us the Word, to guide us into all truth, and to empower us for life and service. Do not resist the Holy Spirit as He endeavors to work inside of you.
7. I will come again - John 14:3. This is the Blessed Hope of the Church. Jesus is coming back. We do not know the day or the hour. But Christ has promised to return and we must be ready. Maybe today?
Jesus will keep His promises to us. Will you keep your promises to Him?
Next week: Come!

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 >>>>

My Delight
SCRIPTURE
& PRAYER
Psalm 119:45-48 ESV - And I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts. I will also speak of your testimonies before kings and shall not be put to shame, for I find my delight in your commandments, which I love. I will lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on your statutes.
Prayer: Dear Lord, all glory, praise and honor unto your wonderful and majestic Name. You have been my comfort, shield, and guide. The scripture today provides me with marvelous teaching and encouragement. I find true liberty when I adhere to the teachings of scripture. As I grow in wisdom and knowledge of the Word, you will provide opportunities to give testimony of Biblical truth and Godly virtue. Help me to be faithful in study of your Word, and to grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. In the Name of Jesus I pray.
Biblical Relationships
Understanding Biblical Relationships
Our Relationship with Christ,
one another, and the world
Closing Summary
by David G. Rose
Today, we conclude our series on Biblical relationships based in John 15. We have discussed:
1. Our Relationship with Christ - As Believers, we must act in oneness with Christ in every decision. Further, we must depend entirely on Christ and not lean on our own understanding. Finally, we must cooperate with Christ without hesitation or complaint.
2. Our Relationship with fellow Believers - We must make every effort to unite as one in Christ. Further, we must love one another in humility and respect. Finally, we must cooperate with each other in harmony and love, to bring honor to Christ.
3. Our Relationship with the World - As Believers, we must live lives that are separated from the corruption of this world. Further, we must live in opposition to the spirit of this world that is controlled by Satan. Finally, we are to be clear witnesses to the glory of God and the Salvation that has been made available to us through the death, burial, and Resurrection of Jeus Christ.
None of this is easy. But by the mercy and grace of God we can fulfill the callings of Christ.
Next week: New series - 8 Promises for Hard Times
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.

COCK-A-DOODLE-DO
by Rev. Douglas Raymond Rose
Thought for Today: Matt. 26:75—“Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”
Three times the rooster crows
Cock-a-doodle-do—
Peter denies he knows the Christ
What else could he do?
The world tempts us all daily
Cock-a-doodle-do----
Three times the rooster crows
What today did you do?
Thomas A Kempis said: Temptations are useful because they can make us humble, they can cleanse us, and they can teach us.”
Wise words to remember. He also adds: “The key to victory is true humility and patience.” One of Peter’s problems is that he had a tendency to speak before he thought. His famous words: “I will never deny you Lord.” But then, of course, he did. Humility and patience help us think twice before we speak thoughtlessly.
James 4:10 says: “Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will lift you up.”
Now is the time to victoriously overcome our “Cock-a-doodle-do” temptations.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, when temptation knocks at my door today, help me remember to ask you to answer it. Thank you. Amen.”
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.
