No matter what you are facing today, live a life of invitation, and He will surely accept your call. He will make a way for you to live in power and in grace in whatever your circumstance when your life says to Him, “Come Lord Jesus Come. Amen.”
Phil 4: 4-5 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Indeed, the Lord is near. Responsorial Psalm 145(146):6-10 Come, Lord, and save us. It is the Lord who keeps faith for ever, who is just to those who are oppressed. It is He who gives bread to the hungry, the Lord, who sets prisoners free, Come, Lord, and save us. It is the Lord who gives sight to the blind, who raises up those who are bowed down, the Lord, who protects the stranger and upholds the widow and orphan. Come, Lord, and save us. It is the Lord who loves the just but thwarts the path of the wicked. The Lord will reign for ever, Zion’s God, from age to age.

Opening Song: The Year of His Favor (Isaiah 61) by Caroline Cobb Lyrics: The Spirit of the Lord is on You A King anointed for the cross To the helpless You bring good news You come to bind the broken heart Speaking freedom to the captive Comfort to the ones who grieve To the downcast You bring justice To the needy one relief You give beauty for ashes You pour out the oil of gladness The year of His favor comes The year of His favor You give to the weak and faint A garment of joy and praise The year of His favor comes You come to raise up what's been ruined Rivers in a desert waste You are the Lord and You will do this For the glory of Your name Come Lord Come Lord Come Lord Come Lord The broken dance (come Lord) The blind will see (come Lord) The sick are healed (come Lord) The mute will sing (come Lord) The dead alive (come Lord) The sinner free (come Lord) The kingdom's here (come Lord) At last the King (oh) Come Lord Come Lord Come Lord Come Lord Passage: 1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 to proclaim the year of the LORD'S favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; 3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified. 4 They shall build up the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations. (Isaiah 61:1–4 ESV) Musical Reflection: “Be Thou My Vision,” old Irish folk tune Reflection Notes: The hymn commonly known as “Be Thou My Vision” is set to the tune SLANE, which is an old Irish folk tune. It samples both major and minor tonalities, with a perfect balance between the two. Prayer: This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.

And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:20b) Behold, I am coming soon. (Revelation 22:7,12,20) As we celebrate the coming of Jesus, as a tiny babe in the manger, I can't help but look forward to the work He did on the cross and to the end when Jesus will come back. After He had died and rose again and was getting ready to ascend into heaven, He told His disciples to make disciples and that He will be with us always. When giving John the revelation of Himself in the end prophecies found in the book of Revelation, He says three times in the last chapter of the Bible, chapter 22, that He is coming soon. In both accounts, Jesus used this world behold, and in the Greek is a term that is used to vivaciously draw attention to what is about to be said. In both instances, Jesus is enthusiastically drawing attention to the fact that He will always be with us and that He is coming soon. This should excite the followers of Jesus, who cry, “Come Lord, Jesus!” and patiently yet eagerly await His next coming. When Mary was giving birth and Joseph placed Jesus on her chest, I can only imagine the thoughts that raced through her mind, thoughts of love for her child and thoughts of what the angel had told her about Him. She believed that the little boy's face she was beholding was the Son of God. She no doubt had fears creep up, but I bet whenever she stopped and looked at her dear son, it melted away and the remembrance of the promise of Who He was brought a peace over her. It's no wonder she seemed to be eager to have Jesus face the issue of running out of wine at the wedding in Cana. She knew Who He was and she went to Him with problems. After Jesus had ascended and the disciples were starting to be persecuted by the Jewish authorities, it says when the authorities “saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.” (Acts 4:13) Now this was after Jesus had ascended, yet they had been with Him nonetheless, and we know that was through the unity of the Holy Spirit dwelling within. The key thing here is that they were with Jesus and they did not fear. He who comes forth fresh from beholding the face of God will never fear the face of man.” (Charles Spurgeon) Jesus, during His time here on earth, spent time in prayer with the Father often, and He never feared men even knowing what they would eventually do to Him. He had a fear and reverence for the Father that emboldened Him to walk in the will of Him Who sent Him. We too, as we remember baby Jesus born in stable and laying in a manger, need to behold the face of God afresh daily, letting His perfect love cast out all fear, having the wisdom to seek Jesus daily, and gaining a great boldness to share the good news of the gospel with all the people we meet. It's hard to think, in the midst of a cheery Christmas season, that persecution will come, but it was on that day in which Jesus was born that the Father had in His mind the purpose of why He had sent His Son. He had sent Him to die. He sent Him knowing the hardships He would face, the persecution He would face, and the death on the cross He would face, and the resulting peace He would give in reconciling us by His sacrificial blood. Regardless of what you are facing or will face, if you put into practice to behold the face of your God, you will never fear the face of man. Be encouraged, Jesus is with you always and He is coming soon!
1- The Comfort of our Soul in Heaven-2- The Comfort of our Bodies on the New Earth-3- The Comfort of Inheriting Perfect Salvation
Message: It's prophesied a king would come to do battle for his nation tangled in the depravity of sin. As Jesus entered the city, garments and branches are laid down, signifying those who lose their lives to save it, putting off of the old self to put on Christ's righteousness, the garment of salvation. Together the crowd responds to hearing and receiving the gospel with Hosanna (Come Lord save us now). King Jesus had arrived. Scripture: Mark 11:7-10 "And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest." KJV
A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor David Singh. When you look at the life of Elijah the prophet, God is so good to Elijah, and each time he is in need God meets him in a new way. Elijah could never have imagined how God would care for him. God’s ways are so different from our ways. The apostle Paul reminds us of this clearly by the central event in the life of Jesus: “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18). The cross is the power of God that overcomes all the wisdom of the world and demonstrates the absolute authority of God. Sometimes when everything is going wrong around us, it is tempting to think that God has authority but that he is not in control. God gives us control and sees how we do. When we are in a mess, God always takes the initiative to step into the history of our lives and our nation to rescue us and restore us so that we can once again live up to his trust in us and live like Jesus. Come Lord, come more often and step into our lives and restore us!

Sermon Recording Sermon OutlineSpeaker: Rev. Charles DrewSermon Series: SufferingIsaiah 58:1-12 (ESV) 1 "Cry aloud; do not hold back; lift up your voice like a trumpet; declare to my people their transgression, to the house of Jacob their sins. 2 Yet they seek me daily and delight to know my ways, as if they were a nation that did righteousness and did not forsake the judgment of their God; they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to God. 3 'Why have we fasted, and you see it not? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you take no knowledge of it?' Behold, in the day of your fast you seek your own pleasure, and oppress all your workers. 4 Behold, you fast only to quarrel and to fight and to hit with a wicked fist. Fasting like yours this day will not make your voice to be heard on high. 5 Is such the fast that I choose, a day for a person to humble himself? Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast, and a day acceptable to the LORD? 6 "Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? 8 Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. 9 Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, 'Here I am.' If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, 10 if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday. 11 And the LORD will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. 12 And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in.Sermon OutlineI) God hates heartless faithv. 1 "Cry aloud; do not hold back; lift up your voice like a trumpet; declare to my people their transgression, to the house of Jacob their sins.

And you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11).Prayer of ConfessionGod our Liberator, you have freed us from the guilt and power of sin. And you will one day free us from every other yoke as well—from every institution, every cultural influence, and every person that stands in the way of the nobility and fullness you intend for us. You delight when we celebrate our freedom by extending it to other people—when we forgive, when we help out, and when we fight injustice. You grieve and grow angry when we misrepresent you by withdrawing into ourselves. We confess our uneven response to your grace. We are sorry for those times when our Bible study, prayer and worship have been fervent while we have persisted in anger towards each other and indifference towards the needs of our neighbors. We are sorry for paying too little attention to those moments when you have put your finger on injustice and callousness in our hearts. We are sorry for those times when we have expressed sorrow but haven’t really changed. How greatly we need your Spirit’s help: we need his help to be honest, we need his help to fear your anger, and we need his help to change. Come Lord, and renew us. Make us into well-watered gardens, sources of deep refreshment to friends and enemies alike. Make us a delight to you. We pray in the name of Jesus who has borne our sins. Amen.Questions for ReflectionAccording to verses 2-3 and 5 Israel was very active in her religious practices (take a moment to itemize them). Nevertheless, according to v. 1, God was grief-stricken and furious with them. Why? Reflect on the following: “It is easy, perhaps, to sit in judgment of those “good Christian” southern planters and northern industrialists whose slavery practices broke the heart and raised the fury of God. But before we do, we should examine ourselves: Do we consistently treat people the way God wants us to treat them? Do we hate to see people dehumanized, whoever they are—even people whose political choices we abhor and whose life-styles we find incomprehensible—even people who have personally wounded us—anonymous people on the internet? Do we hate to see people exploited and hurt, by whatever means—whether by greedy bosses or market forces or by climate change? Do we find intolerable and strive to overturn workplaces where efficiency dwarfs every other value?”Read Isaiah 58:6-7, where we discover how deeply God loves faith that spills over into care and social justice. Try to recall a recent occasion where your faith or the faith of a friend showed itself in this way—on the home front or in the work environment or in the neighborhood.How do you cope with the discrepancy between what God wants in Isaiah 58 and how you live? When we reflect on Isaiah 58 as a description of the life and destiny of Jesus, we encounter a startling irony. Jesus far surpasses us in living up to “the fast that God chooses” (think of his life and ministry in the light of vv. 6-7, 9-10); and yet Jesus experienced none of the blessings promised in Isaiah 58 (see vv. 8-9). There is a reason for this. Jesus came to lift off of our shoulders the yoke of sin by offering his lovely life in substitute for our hypocritical and self-centered ones. He was denied the blessings so that we might have them. Spend a few moments thanking him for lifting the yoke of your sin and guilt off your shoulders. According to v. 11, we experience God’s refreshment (we become “like a watered garden, like a spring of water”) when, with the help of Christ, we begin lifting the burdens off our neighbors’ backs. Representative John Lewis, a follower of Jesus and a founder in the civil rights movement who endured much violence for his quiet determination to lift the yoke of racism in our country, tasted this refreshment, writing, “there is something in the very essence of the anguish of redemptive suffering that is liberating, cleansing, redemptive.”Have you tasted this?

Representative John Lewis, a follower of Jesus and a founder in the civil rights movement who endured much violence for his quiet determination to lift the yoke of racism in our country, tasted this refreshment, writing, “there is something in the very essence of the anguish of redemptive suffering that is liberating, cleansing, redemptive.”Have you tasted this?
Back in February, I began teaching through the book of Philippians with our church in a series called Joy, Unleashed. We spent two weeks looking at chapter one, and unpacking what joy is and two areas of our lives that should bring us joy. Little did I (or any of us, for that matter) know that when we resumed our look at the letter of Paul to the church at Philippi, our lives would be so radically different. February seems like a distant memory from years gone by. So much has happened between then and now, and it seems as if the situation and the surrounding struggles are here to stay for a while longer. But still, God is sovereign. It’s evident that having him lead us to this book, at this time, was intentional. For many of us, joy can seem like a mirage, or a fairy tale of sorts. With the stress, anxiety, loneliness, loss, uncertainty that surrounds so many of us, is living with joy even possible? In many ways, we have more in common with the apostle Paul than we might realize. Yet, even as he faced great difficulty and struggle, his joyful perspective on all that he faced radiates off the page. Joy, supernatural delight, IS possible, in even the most difficult of circumstances. I’m looking forward to being with you this weekend, whether online or in the room and I’m praying that God’s Word will hit the mark for us, wherever we’re at. Complete Livestream Service Sermon Notes Joy Unleashed Joy in my faithful witness Jordan Coros Philippians 1:18b-26 July 19, 2020 — As a faithful witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ, I must fulfill the kingdom-building work he has for me. — 1. Commit courageously (v. 18b–20) If Christ can be magnified through the unflinching fearlessness of believers, he can be shamed through their cowardice. - David Garland Mark 13:11 — 2. Surrender sacrificially (v. 21–24) 2 Corinthians 4:10 During that epidemic of cholera, though I had many engagements in the country, I gave them up that I might remain in London to visit the sick and the dying. I felt that it was my duty to be on the spot in such a time of disease and death and sorrow. - Charles Spurgeon — 3. Prioritize purposefully (v. 25–26) Lord, it belongs not to my care whether I die or live; to love and serve thee is my share, and this thy grace must give. If life be long, I will be glad, that I may long obey; if short, yet why would I be sad to welcome endless day? Christ leads me through no darker rooms than he went through before; He that unto God’s kingdom comes, must enter through that door. Come Lord, when grace hath made me meet thy blessed face to see; For if thy work on earth be sweet, what will thy glory be! Then I shall end my sad complaints and weary sinful days And join with the triumphant saints that sing my Saviour’s praise; My knowledge of that life is small, the eye of faith is dim; But ‘tis enough that Christ knows all, and I shall be with him. - Richard Baxter

Today is May 31, 2020. For Christians it is the day of Pentecost. Pentecost (meaning 50) is one of the feasts of the Lord as found in the Torah in Leviticus 23. The feast was to be held 50 days after the feast of First Fruits that occured on the Sunday after Passover - the day Jesus rose from the dead. In Hebrew it is known as Shavuot, or the feast of weeks - it was to occur the day after 7 full Sabbaths. I find it interesting that Pentecost Sunday is a day the Lord can speak and minister to us, the followers of Messiah Jesus, during this awful time that we are going through in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul after the murder of George Floyd. If we put this feast into its historical context, if we try and learn how the disciples of Jesus may have understood this day, if we study what this feast is really all about, God can minister to us in ways that are truly amazing and awesome and challenging. Come Lord. On this Pentecost Sunday, come and minister to us to help us know Your heart and mind in these awful days. Come and help us understand what Pentecost can teach us about the murder of George Floyd. What can Pentecost teach us about us and what we are to be like in these days of chaos and turmoil? I reference an article about George in "Christianity Today." Here's the link to that article so you can learn about George as a disciple of Yeshua. Link - click here for the article

Happy Sunday to you! How has your weekend been, hope good? I am happy to be here with you again this week. Today on the show I had my friend and sister Dominique all the way from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). She shared with us her worship song of the week Washed by Upperoom. It was part of a spontaneous worship session by these amazing young people you can watch the full video here https://youtu.be/IBCkeJYTJkM to listen to WASHED, you can skip to the 9min mark on the video. If you are born again then this is a reminder of your true identity in Christ. This is to remind you that you there is no more condemnation for you because you are now in Christ Jesus, so do not listen to the lies and deception of the devil when he tells you otherwise. If you are yet to accept Christ Jesus as your personal Lord and saviour, then I invite you to do so today, by saying this short prayer. Say, Lord Jesus, I accept you today into my life, come into my heart and be the Lord over my life and everything that I own, come and guide, lead and be my friend. Come Lord and cleanse me from my sins for I cannot cleans myself and I cannot by myself win over sin, I need you to help me overcome the power of sin over my life. Thank you for paying the price on the cross by taking my place, today, I accept your gift; your finished work on the cross and I surrender my heart to you. I pray in Jesus name. Amen. If you said that prayer with faith in your heart, I congratulate and welcome you into the family of God. Now you are a new creature in Christ. Now look for a bible believing church around and be part of a community of like-minded believers who would help you grow in your journey with Christ. Feel free to send me an email to ejiskede@gmail.com if you have any questions as to what your next steps should be. I can't promise that I have all the answers you need but I am sure that His sweet Holy Spirit will give us all the answers we need for you to move to the next level in your walk with God through Christ. Thank you for listening, please remember to subscribe to this podcast and share with friends and family as well. Till next week remain blessed and have a productive week. God bless you.

Maranatha! is the bold cry of the Christian who is ready and desirous of the coming of the Lord. Why bold? Because he knows full well that that coming means judgment, but his conscience is clean, he is ready and anxious for the judgment because for those who love God the judgments means eternal joy, final deliverance, absolute perfection. The early Christians did not utter Maranatha with a tepid whimper but with great earnest pleading: Come Lord! The more confident we can say Maranatha the more ready we are for Christmas and the Holy Babe.

God's Healing Word by Cindy Hyde, MA Jesus said it was the sick who needed a physician (Mt 9:12). He is our great Physician. He is the LORD that heals us (Ps 30:2). God wants us healthy in every way possible and He wants our soul to prosper (III Jn 2). Therefore, He sent His WORD, which is His Son Jesus Christ (Jn 1:1; Rev. 19:13), to heal us and deliver us from all of our destructions (Ps 107:20). His Living WORD (Jesus Christ) truly is health to all our flesh (Pr 4:20-22). In Him we live and move and have our being (Ac 17:28). God sent His Son Jesus Christ to destroy the works of the devil (I Jn 3:8b; Acts 10:38). Jesus bore our griefs and carried our sorrows; He was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him; He took our infirmities and our sicknesses from us (Mt 8:17b), and with His stripes we were and are healed (Is 53:4-5; I Pt 2:24). He forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases (Ps 103:3). Nothing is too hard for the Lord (Gn 18:14). All things are possible when we believe (Mk 9:23). We are assured that God hears and answers us while we are still crying out to Him (Is 65:24). We know that the prayers of the righteous avails much (Ja 5:16). We have this confidence in Him, that if we ask any thing according to His will (III Jn 2), He hears us, and we know we have the petitions we desire of Him. (I Jn 5:14, 15). There are many who are sick and dying because of a breach in a relationship with God, themselves, or others. With the power of the Holy Spirit (Ac 1:8) and His gifts (I Co. 12:7-11), body, soul, spirit, mind, will, and emotions are healed by the power of God ( ) Jesus asked the impotent man at the Pool of Bethesda “Wilt thou be make whole? (Jn 5:6). The man was made whole. We are made whole by the same power. It is God's will to comfort, bless and heal His children (Lk 5:12c; Jn 5:1-9). Prayer Father, in the name of Jesus we are crying out to You in faith, believing You are not only hearing us but answering us while we yet speak, You are our Great Physician. You are the Lord who heals us, who forgives us all of our iniquities, all of our sins, and our transgressions. Come Lord and deliver us out of our destructions. Your Word is health to all our flesh. We receive Your Word and declare that in Him we move, and live, and have our being. We believe all things are possible with You Lord. We know that by the stripes Jesus bore upon His back we were healed. Thank you that when we ask You hear us, and answer us out of Your great mercy and loving kindness. We place our confidence in You, Lord, and in You alone. You are the God who heals us. We want to be made us whole. We ask You to make us whole in every area of our lives. Heal us oh Lord and we will be healed. That You Father that the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ courses through our bodies removing all uncleanness, all infirmity, all sickness, all disease, all effects of sin, all residue of our sinful nature. Cleanse us Lord as we submit and yield ourselves to you and resist the enemy. You and You alone are God, the One Who was, and is, and is to come. We thank You Lord, we bless your Holy name and give You praise for all honor, all glory and all praise belong to You. Amen. AUTHOR BIO Cindy Hyde, MAEd specializes in soul care.

Jesus, the Word of God, wraps up not only the book of Revelation — but the entire Bible — with the trustworthy and true statement that He is coming soon. As a result the Spirit, the Bride of Christ, and those who hear Jesus' promise say, “Come!” Lord come. Lord, come! Amen.
