“If we have not yet gotten to a place where we are quite certain that there's no catch no limit to the goodness of God's intentions or his power to carry them out we will always hold ourselves back from being fully open to knowing the will of God.” Ruth Haley Barton
Our life is defined by what we take or by what we give. Judas and Mary are opposites and show us ways to worship either ourselves or others.
Do I have to keep saying yes to God. I've obeyed Him in the past and now I'm tired.
Your word is lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
17 years.... I said 16 but we have been married 17 years. i'm 38 years old and I am still changing big things about my life and character. I keep having to be humble and it's really hard.
God's wisdom in situations is beyond ours. Let's look together at John 11:16 where Thomas proclaims that he will follow Christ even if it makes no sense to him. Let's renew that same faith, knowing that the plan of God is better than any plan based off our limited understanding, culture, emotions, knowledge or experience.
I don't know what this is besides a rant. Listen at your own risk.
Doubt God and lean on your self and others or Trust in the Lord with your most valuable self and watch what He does!
In Mark 11 it talks about how Jesus asked two men to go and get a donkey for him. It seems like a small task but would I have done it if I was asked? When Jesus asks you to do something...do you do it?
The Kingdom of God has not been in jeopardy of loosing it's power. The Kingdom of God is steady in all of Scripture. The Kingdom of God is steady today. You are invited to be a part of it.
Who are you listening to? 2 Tim 2:4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs but rather tries to please his commanding officer. Jesus lead us!
Things were the SAME for generations. Sacrifice for sins then Jesus came and died once for all. New normal- sins are forgiven forever, everyone is invited in to the family of God. Are we living in the new normal of God's kingdom where acceptance and forgiveness are forefront or do we have bias?
Jesus speaking to the disciples "In this world you will have trouble . But take heart I have overcome the world." John 16:33
When we appoint our hope to the anything but Jesus we can be disappointed.
Busy Kids Tired Angry Work we all have reasons not to pray. I am a living sacrifice to God. That means in the nitty gritty of everyday life I live for God. If I live for God I've got to be close to Him to hear his plan- not just bulldoze ahead with my own plan. Prayer is basic in the life of a Christian- it's not optional and it's not an afterthought at the end of the day. It is the instructions for our day.
In the kingdom of God are men above women? Are women above men? How does Christ see us? Dive into this sermon that my husband John and I gave this past Sunday at our church.
It's 2020. The date has changed and maybe our mood too. But God has not changed. He is not slow in keeping His promises. Psalm 4 reminds us that he is our SHELTER IN DISTRESS!!!
For Grace to be applied we need to first expose our true selves to God. When we accept his grace, we then know we built on His foundation not our own. "Now I commit you to God and to the word of His grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all who are sanctified." Acts 20:32
I put and commanded you here. Now because of other voices are you not doing what you were commanded to do? Does God's Spirit hover over me? When God speaks over my life what changes? Are God's words good? Does God keep speaking and keep creating in my life? Does God speak life or death?
Let the word of God wash over you with HOPE. In the valley of sin there is a door of hope. Our messiah has come. God continually welcomes back humanity to be in relationship with him. If you want to receive a copy of the verses spoken send a message to: jaudreypelkey@gmail.com
Sin Can't Tell You How To Live by Jillian Pelkey
Ever feel like it's hard to keep going? Like you're a little nauseous from this journey called life? What do we do? Let's look at Psalm 12. Help, Lord!
The implications that misinterpreted scripture passages have had on women have been crippling Church for generations.
We all ask at one point or another the question "Am I doing this right?" James a follower of Jesus thousands of years ago shows us the way to do our modern life "right". Listen to this week podcast as we talk about who we serve- ourselves, out world and our God.
And what does the Lord require of you? To do good to love forgiving to spend time with Him. God wants to talk with YOU. Individually He speaks to us. We need to open our ears and our hearts to listen and hear Him.
Jimmy Fallon has a famous segment called "EWWW" It's sketch comedy where they make fun of things they think are ewww. One of the things that Jesus points out as gross is in Mark 3 " He looked around at them in anger and deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts said..." He points out something that holds truth and is not silly like Jimmy Fallon's sketch comedy. His warning should wake up our hearts to listen.
Maybe just maybe there is a God...I'm not sure if I believe...
A night time meeting took place with a guy wondering about Jesus. He asked Jesus who he was. Jesus explains. Jesus loves the poor, the rich, the woman, the man, every skin color, every person with every label you could attach to them. Every set of eyes you look into you can be sure Jesus loves them. Why? He created them. He longs for each person to know him. In knowing him there is peace that can't even be explained and it can't be compared to ANYTHING else because it's from heaven.
The unexpected... don't punish us for our wrongs don't hold a grudge over what we have done don't give us the uglyness that we deserve instead an abundance of Mercy That's the Gospel
Are you in charge of yourself? You only have so much knowledge-read a million books, watch youtube how to videos, read wikipedia- you still don't know everything (God does) You can never follow through 100 percent with your own plans- we mess up (God doesn't ) God knows more, his plan is perfect and His love for me is pure. The Gospel means that God offers you pure love, complete forgiveness and supernatural peace. His offer is for every single person on the planet. He says come and I'll make you a part of the family of God. The Gospel is being known, it's finding home. It makes us new and makes us at peace. It transformed me. It changed me. It can do the same for you.
God is love. That stands is total opposition to hate. How do we get over hate?
Ever have the bottom drop out? What do we do when things are REALLY bad? When the tears don't stop and things are hard...how do we walk through this?
one more month....seven more days... a few more years... Don't waver in your trust in God. His promises are solid.
