Sermon by John Ater January 31, 2021

In the midst of very chaotic times, I would like to offer words of encouragement to the Church. These words focus on the beginning, end, and middle of our Bible.... Genesis 1:1- In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The Bible begins with the foundational assertion that God is the Creator and we are accountable to Him. The second important truth comes from the end of Scripture. Revelation 22:20:21, He who testifies to these things says, Surely I am coming soon. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. Jesus Christ is going to return. God created, Christ is coming, and in the interim we find this third important truth. Psalm 118:8-9, It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. 9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. As Christians, our confidence is not found in who sits in the White House, but in Who resides on the throne. God’s position is not up for debate or question. The mission and message of the Church has not changed. We have a Gospel to preach and a people to reach. The issues that separate the Church from the world will continue to clarify the recipients of our message. May the Church proclaim that truth with boldness and courage. With hearts of compassion and backbones of steel let the Church arise. See more

I couldn't help but think of the scripture, 1 Corinthians 2:5 when looking through my news feed. Mere mortals cannot save you, whether DT or JB. JC is the only name by which you will be saved. Jesus Christ is your ONLY savior and your ONLY Redeemer and the ONLY all powerful King.

The weekly scriptures for this week include Job 1. Read the scripture below please. God was boasting about the man Job was. Mediate with me on this question, how would God describe you?
