"Following Jesus and Loving People"

Sometimes we think that in order to obey God, we need to do something
earth-shattering. To be sure, there are the big moments in our lives
where our choices have far reaching consequences. However, most of
life involves the "small" obediences in everyday living. The Bible
reveals that obedience is never trite or insignificant. Before his
triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Jesus gave a seemingly small task to a
couple of his disciples. "Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them,
Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey
tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me"
(Matthew 21:2). Compared to other great actions accomplished in the
Bible, getting a donkey probably doesn't make the top ten. However, it
is important enough to find mention in the Book of Life! Jesus could
have miraculously caused a donkey to walk by, and that would be the
answer to the need. But, he involves the disciples for his own
specific reasons. He wants them to be part of the plan of God! The
Lord loves working through obedient servants. Our own small life story
somehow gets woven in to the big story of God. By finding the donkey,
the disciples also realized that God is Lord of the everyday,
seemingly mundane tasks. They acted and God provided. So, this first
Passover Sunday event, including men and donkeys, reminds us of
this: God isn't looking for great heroes…just obedient people. After
all, there's only One "Star". What is the Lord asking you to do today?

"Following Jesus and Loving People"

 

 

Hello Everyone,

 

I want to share with you some of the exciting events we are planning here at Highway Tabernacle, leading up to Resurrection Sunday.

 

·        This Sunday, Mar. 29th on Palm Sunday I will be preaching a "Dramatic Reenactment Sermon" surrounding the amazing events from Luke 19.

 

·        Next Thursday, Apr. 2nd we will all gather in the fellowship hall for a Bible Study/Service on "Why we can believe in the Resurrection".   This starts at 7:00, and you can come early to eat around 6:30 if you want.

 

 

·        Resurrection Sunday, Apr. 5th A group from the Teen Challenge Center in Philadelphia will be sharing about their "resurrected" lives in Jesus, followed by a brief message from yours truly.

 

This is a great time to invite people to come to church. Would you pray for the Lord to bless and empower the services so that all hearts are drawn to HIM!

"Following Jesus and Loving People"

 

 

I hate getting lost. As a kid, I wandered a few times into unfamiliar woods and got lost. As an adult, my "lost" moments are usually when I don't bother to map out a trip and find myself driving aimlessly.  Being lost generates feelings of anxiety, frustration, and anger. The Bible describes people as sheep who have gone astray…lost to the shepherd and lost to the rest of the flock. One day Jesus traveled through a city called Jericho and spoke to a lost man named Zacchaeus.  Jesus found him in a tree of all places! Because he was short, he climbed a tree to catch a glimpse of Jesus going by.  Zacchaeus was ripe and ready to change! From this encounter with Jesus, he turned from his old life of cheating and corruption to following the Savior. After hearing  Zacchaeus' declaration of faith and willingness to repent of evil, Jesus proclaimed, "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost" (Luke 19:10). During our Missions Convention, I am challenging myself again to become just like Jesus. If Jesus sought the lost, I have to ask myself, "who are the people in my life right now I am seeking to bring to Jesus? Do I really care enough to press outside my circle of comfort in order to lead a lost 'sheep' to the Shepherd"?  This past Sunday night, the missionary reminded us that "we are the product of missions". Someone prayed for us and led us from our lost condition to the Great Shepherd. May Christ's love and compassion compel us to speak to the lost Zacchaeus's all around us. Who knows, we may discover them in a tree, at work, on our street, or even at home? Who is your Zaccaeus?

K-12th Grade Scholarships

This is the time of year many organizations award scholarships for private school students. Spring Garden Academy is committed to working with families to help them access these opportunities and learn more about the possibilities.  But time is running out!  If you know a family who may need funds for K-12th grades, please contact Amy dela Cruz at adelacruz@springgardenacademy.org or 215-563-9192.  We're here to help.

We are also experiencing growth at Spring Garden Academy's Elementary School (K-8th).  Please pray that God will send the families he desires for the school.  Pray that the children he sends will embrace their call to become leaders in this city.  Pray that we will help families find the funding that they need to make this hope a reality.  God has blessed tremendously this year – even opening up doors for complete funding for some families.  Let's keep praying!  He is good.
