“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

I felt this past Sunday’s services really blessed and encouraged a lot of people! The focus on “The Next Generation”, along with the baptism of eight people at Resurrection Life lifted our hearts. We were also challenged greatly by Pastor Wegner’s message on the words of Jeremiah and reminded of how we need to exercise patience through difficult times. As we seek God and work hard to spread the Good News, we are seeing some good fruit! We must also remember, that our steps forward will be challenged by the enemy. Satan doesn’t relinquish control  easily. As I was reading Psalm 18 today, I reminisced on the life of David (who wrote this). David spent many years eluding his enemies, including the   insanely jealous King Saul. David praises God for his faithfulness and victories, even though he had to endure many trials and difficulties. Breakthrough for David only came after he consistently trusted God and kept his life clean. He wrote, “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge” v. 2. The Lord will do his part by always being strong and   faithful. We must also seek to live faithful to him. David said  later, “The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me. For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not done evil by turning from my God” v20-21.  David was not claiming sinless perfection, but was making the statement that he loved God enough to keep himself away from evil. It’s hard to trust God when we are in bondage to sinful habits. The enemy wants to stop the Gospel from spreading by submerging God’s people in guilt and condemnation. We certainly don’t trust in our “goodness” but living right gives us a boldness and confidence to exercise faith in God. No matter what comes our way, our God will bring us through.  In the end we will be able to say, as David, “The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!  Exalted be God my Savior” v46!

“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

As I sit down to write this, I am quietly waiting as 26 students finish a test in a class I teach called, “Foundations of Biblical Preaching.” One of the “ironies” of Christian living involves the relationship between grace and works. For example, the professors continually encourage the students to walk in the grace of God, but they are graded by how well they do their work. When I correct the tests, I will only note if the answers are right or wrong. I cannot, in the name of grace, give credit for a wrong answer. So, how does grace fit in such a world as ours, where we seem to only be “graded” according to what we do and accomplish? When you study the Bible you realize that the grace of God is found in every aspect of the believer’s life. We are saved by God’s grace, kept by his grace, and empowered by his grace to do his will. His grace gives us the desire and  ability to do the work he has called us to do. Biblical grace does not expect that God does everything for us…so we can just sit back and do nothing (I will pass this test even if don’t study). No, we are absolutely part of the process. Paul told Timothy, his son in the faith, to “do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15). Through grace, Timothy came to believe in Jesus; and what Timothy did with his life showed how he cooperated with the grace of God. He needed to study and work hard, not in an attempt to “try to become” a child of God, but because he already was a child of God! By study application, and work, he positioned himself in a “place” where God could manifest his presence through him. So, grace and works are not opposed to each other. Show me a person who truly walks in grace and you will see someone who diligently follows Jesus. Through self-leadership, the disciple of Christ yields to the process of  becoming a sharp tool for the master’s use. May the grace of God be yours as you work in his strength!

“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

After Jesus rose from the dead, the Bible records about 12 resurrection appearances he made to his disciples and others. In Luke 24, for example, we read of Jesus appearing to two unnamed disciples as they were walking along a road to Emmaus. I love this story because it reminds me why Jesus rose and how he wants to help us every day. The Bible says, “Jesus himself came up and walked along with them” Luke 24:15b. After a long conversation with these two people, Jesus disappeared from their sight. Then they asked each other, “Were not out hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” From these passages, I receive encouragement from the Lord and insights into the ministry of the risen Savior to me (and all believers). First, he wants to walk with us. While on earth, he willingly limited himself to being at one place at one time. Now that he is at the right hand of the Father, he can be everywhere by His Spirit. That means he can walk with me and fellowship with me at the same time he is with you! His fellowship is more that talking about the weather or shifting political ideas. He is willing to open the Scriptures to us and put a fire in our heart to live for him. This means that when I open the Word of God, I am not alone. Jesus is with me to speak his words into my heart and give me encouragement and zeal. I am so blessed to by Jesus Himself. When I consider all the good things this world has to offer, nothing compares to daily fellowship with the risen Lord Jesus! Enjoy him today. Walk with him and listen for his voice. He is alive forevermore!

HELP spread the word! Scholarship Reception

To all:

 

Please help us get the word out about this week’s Scholarship Reception and the receptions in May.  This scholarship initiative, we believe, is a major avenue to increase both the quality and size of Spring Garden Academy’s Elementary school moving ahead. It will also allow us to fund our youth to attend other Christian high schools in Philadelphia.

 

We will also be sending daily e-vites, ebulletins, and reminders. When you receive them, please pass them along to possible donors. If you want a printed invitation to give out, let us know.  If you are on facebook, please SHARE the announcement (see below for what it says).  You can find the announcement on https://www.facebook.com/NextGenerationMinistriesPhilly.

 

If you are unsure who may qualify to participate in this tax-credit funded scholarship initiative, please respond to this email or call 215-226-1000.  We’d be happy to explain more. You may be surprised at how many individuals and businesses can participate under a November 2014 change to the tax law.  We also invite YOU to come to a reception to educate yourself as an ambassador for this initiative. 

 

Also – PLEASE PRAY!  We are trusting God to send the right people our way to accomplish his purposes at Spring Garden Academy and for our city’s children.

 

Thanks,

 

Candace

 

PS – we are working on a website to keep this initiative and information available on an ongoing basis.  Special thanks to Steve Giunta and Christian Life Center who are currently producing a video that we can share in upcoming months.

“Following Jesus and Loving People”


Do you tend to think more about the past or the future? Our faith in Jesus and the Resurrection is rooted in specific historical places and past events, but it is so much more! Unfortunately, many believe in Jesus like they believe in George Washington and the war for Independence. Their reasoning is, “Jesus, like George Washington, lived a good life and made a great impact for all of us, but that’s about it”.  However, Jesus did not rise from the dead, so we might have a “feel-good memory”. He rose to live as the mighty risen Savior in us right now. That’s what life “in the Spirit” is all about! The living, current, everlasting Spirit which empowered Jesus to  conquer death lives present tense in true believers! This Spirit of Jesus   becomes the center of our “power grid” giving us the ability to say yes to him, and no to evil and sin. Galatians describes this new powerful lifestyle (and the battle that rages). “So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is   contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want” (5:16-17). Verse 25 goes on to say, “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” Victorious spiritual living does not happen by a mere mental knowledge of past events. The Bible emphasizes the past in order to help us realize what we have in the present. We can live a life that pleases God because we believe in Jesus, and walk in the strength of his Spirit. Enjoy fellowship with Jesus…He is risen!
