Matthew 23:10 And don't let people maneuver you into taking charge of them. There is only one Life-Leader for you and them - Christ.
(Quoted from the Message bible)

Matthew 23:10 And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.
(Quoted from the NIV)

Matthew 23:10 And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.
(Quoted from the NKJV)

 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. ~Psalm 12:8

Isaiah 11:16

And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

 

Isaiah 35:8

And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

 

Isaiah 62:10

Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people

A small Fish; 

Swimming in 

A Big World

Obedience .. is the key

Faith 

Is

What

We

Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head

Chapter 5 

May Part 1

Mr & Mrs Potato Head

God is God yes this is true:

 and what has 

Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head 

got to do with you? 

Well let’s take a look at a few scriptures and see. 

I think you will be amazed just like me.

Scriptures:

Romans 12:4-5 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office.  So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one member one of another.

I Corinthians 6:15 Do you know that your bodies are members of Christ

I Corinthians 12:12-26 (read all the scriptures I have left them for you to look up it is good to open your bible and learn where scriptures are) ... Hint~ this is in the New Testament. 

After reading the scriptures illustrate with Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head, to help children see how the body works together.  Without the help of the hands, the fingers are of no use to the body.  Without the use of the eyes we cannot see.  Without the use of the ears, we cannot hear. Etc.  The body works together the same way God intended the Church to work together.  Each part of the Church has an important part.

Without infants/small children, there would be no nursery.  Without Young children, there would be no Children’s Church. Without teens we would not have a Youth Ministry .. Without singers we would have no Praise Team/Choir .. Each ministry has a part in the body.  The family works the same way.  Each member has a part, everyone is important, whether a parent or a child, mom or dad ..or extended family .. aunts, uncles and or cousins .. grandparents ..   Each has a part.  It all ties in together.  God is Awesome.  He created us all individually.  You are special to Him.

Let’s Pray: 

 

Father God, be with each person who reads this.  Open their understanding to your Word.  Open their understanding to your Holy Spirit. Thank you for your Son, Jesus Christ, who died willingly for our sins, so that we would be set free from sin and death: giving to us eternal life.  Forgive us of our many sins.  Help us to repent and turn from our sins.  In Jesus Name Amen!

Remember

Jesus loves you

And wants you to be a part of His body 

You have a special place in His heart 

Allow Him to have a special place in yours

His promises

Yes and Amen

Love LisaMe! 

Your sister friend

Candy: Laffy Taffy candy – They come individually wrapped with different flavors.  This is the best because you can talk about different kinds of laughter, and the children can have more than one. 

Tell the scriptures first, then go back through and talk about why Sarah Smiled!  Speak about God’s faithfulness to fulfill His Promise to Abraham.

Scriptures: Genesis 17: 1-22 

The Promise

Genesis 21: 1-8 

Sarah’s laugh … Isaac’s birth,  

The Promise fulfilled, God is faithful

Abraham and Sarah had a son and named him Isaac, just as God had told them.  God is faithful to finish all that he has started.  What about you?  What is the promise that God has given to you?  Has your promise died?  Be encouraged, and know that God is faithful.  He will complete what He has started in you, just like he did for Abraham and Sarah.

Let’s Pray: Father God, Thank you for giving us hope for tomorrow: even when things in this world can seem so hopeless.   Help us to keep our eyes on you and to Trust you in all things.  We know it is because you love us and know what is best for us.  Teach us to depend on you for the promises you have for us. We thank you that you are faithful to fulfill in us all that you want for us, You are our Heavenly Father, and know best how to bless your children.  You blessed Abraham and Sarah with Isaac their son.  And you bless us with Jesus Christ your son, to bring to us deliverance, healing and everlasting life. We receive your blessing of Jesus and it is in His name that we pray.  Amen!

Stones

Sin is sin

Yes this is true

Are you the One throwing the stones

Are having them thrown at you ..

This message takes a look at stones and how they are used in the bible from the old testaments to the new ..

 Take a look in Chapter 3

 

John 1:11 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ³ All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. ⁴ In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

In the beginning was the Word ...

Scriptures: Genesis 3 

(Adam and Eve’s sin)
 

The Battle is on!

It’s not by might

Not by power

But by my Spirit says the Lord!

So whose team are you on? Ever feel like you are on the wrong side. In this season we will take a closer look, you just may find you have been in the wrong battle, on the wrong side, or just being worn out by your own sin.

Tug A War

Did you ever play tug a war as a child; where you have two equal numbered teams. Each team grabs hold of the rope on opposite ends. Each team tugs hard on the rope until the stronger team pulls the weaker team over to their side. This is called tug a war it is a game that has been around for a long time. Although it may not have had an official name, and not considered a game, it has really been around longer than we realize. Let’s look at it in another way.

Genesis 3 (Adam and Eve’s sin)

In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, satan was cast down to the earth and the battle between good and evil began. Adam and Eve being the first people to be deceived by satan causing them to sin.  They crossed over the line. This was the first earthly tug a war the teams were not exactly equal. As we read through the bible we will find many more tug a wars, which could also be referred to as spiritual warfare.  We know who the enemy is so it seems like the battle would be is a little easier. But unlike in a game where fairness is necessary, and rules are applied, satan does not play fair. The bible is also very clear who wins the battle in the end, but not everyone reads the bible. 

As you go forward in the Tug A War of life

Call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved

Let’s Pray: Father God, help us as we lean on you to pull us through.  We cannot do it with our own strength.  As we come to you with our weaknesses we know through your Son we will be made strong with the Word, which brings us the teachings of the gospel. We call upon your name now with the promise from you for everlasting life through your son Jesus Christ.  In Jesus Name Amen!
