You might ask what the mission of Jesus is. So I&#39;ll start by explaining it with a writing exercise. Ok, get a piece of paper and a pen or your notepad app on your tablet or iPad. You got it yet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, write down or type out everything you know about what a Missionary does. Take 5 minutes and then continue reading...................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has 5 minutes elapsed yet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now whatever you wrote down on your paper is what YOU are supposed to do RIGHT WHERE YOU&#39;RE AT. Really, to seize the mission of Jesus, you are a missionary. Our God is a Missionary, Jesus is a Missionary. The Church is to be a Missionary Church. The church exist for mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we seize the mission of Jesus, we live out 1 Peter 2:9 which says, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v9&quot; data-usfm=&quot;1PE.2.9&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;label&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;...for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;note f&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt; a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show  others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into  his wonderful light.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v9&quot; data-usfm=&quot;1PE.2.9&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v9&quot; data-usfm=&quot;1PE.2.9&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;By seizing the mission of Jesus, you show the goodness or the light of God. Just as God brought you out of darkness in the the wonderful light, you should share that same light to someone else who is in the dark.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v9&quot; data-usfm=&quot;1PE.2.9&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v9&quot; data-usfm=&quot;1PE.2.9&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;How do we share the love and the light of Jesus in this world in 2014. The key is building relationships with people God puts in your path. Most of the people that you will share the light of Jesus with, God has probably already put in you path and you probably already know. You just might not know them well enough. Get to know the person at work that rubs you the wrong way. Get to know the neighbor that you don&#39;t like. Find someone that&#39;s struggling with money and help them out. There might be someone that you know is struggling in an area that you excel at. There are many people that we come in contact on a daily basis that don&#39;t know the Love of Jesus. Go share Jesus with somebody today and seize the mission of Jesus!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v9&quot; data-usfm=&quot;1PE.2.9&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v9&quot; data-usfm=&quot;1PE.2.9&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;KTF,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v9&quot; data-usfm=&quot;1PE.2.9&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;Jamey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v9&quot; data-usfm=&quot;1PE.2.9&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;@jskketch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v9&quot; data-usfm=&quot;1PE.2.9&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;www.facebook.com/firstlovefellowship&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v9&quot; data-usfm=&quot;1PE.2.9&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;@firstlovepw&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v9&quot; data-usfm=&quot;1PE.2.9&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.worshipdude.net/2014/08/seizing-mission-of-jesus.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Worship Dude)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16985699.post-1495597457097589436</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 Aug 2014 23:27:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2014-08-20T17:27:31.310-06:00</atom:updated><title>A Tale of Two Brothers</title><description>Here&#39;s a tale of two brothers, that happens to be dogs. They were born in April of 2010 in Alabama. They were in a litter of ten Lab pups. One golden lab went to Colorado with his new owner, Kyle. Kyle is a &quot;Cars&quot; fan, so he named his puppy Mater. One of the other pups was a brown lab named, Jake. He stayed on the Ketchum/Odom Hill in Alabama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the beginning of August, I went back to Bama to pick up Sam and Kyle, who were staying at my mom and dad&#39;s house. Kyle and I had been throwing the tennis ball with Jake and Jake never stops playin&#39; ball. He even sleeps with his ball! In three days, we probably threw the ball 200 times to Jake. Jake is committed to playin&#39; ball and he never gives up. He brings the ball back to you over and over and over again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;object width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; class=&quot;BLOGGER-youtube-video&quot; classid=&quot;clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot; codebase=&quot;http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0&quot; data-thumbnail-src=&quot;https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tK3WL7uTUmE/0.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/v/tK3WL7uTUmE?version=3&amp;f=user_uploads&amp;c=google-webdrive-0&amp;app=youtube_gdata&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;bgcolor&quot; value=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;266&quot;  src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/v/tK3WL7uTUmE?version=3&amp;f=user_uploads&amp;c=google-webdrive-0&amp;app=youtube_gdata&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His brother, Mater, our dog in Colorado, is a different story. We love Mater and he likes to play ball, however, after about 7 or 8 times, he&#39;s done. He&#39;d rather go do something else. And when he&#39;s done, he doesn&#39;t even bring the ball back to ya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gz_xP_LMyyg/U_UkohpOR8I/AAAAAAAADpk/NPuAaHSrhlI/s1600/Kyle%2C%2BMater%2C%2Band%2BJake.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gz_xP_LMyyg/U_UkohpOR8I/AAAAAAAADpk/NPuAaHSrhlI/s1600/Kyle%2C%2BMater%2C%2Band%2BJake.jpg&quot; height=&quot;223&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Jake and Mater reminds me of our Spiritual Walk with Christ. You can also call it our Discipleship Process. We are called to be Jesus&#39; disciple. Most believers would probably ask, &quot;Why is this so important?&quot;, and&amp;nbsp; &quot;I don&#39;t have time!&quot; is usually the excuse. As Jake has a passion and a desire to &quot;play ball&quot;, we should have a passion and desire to be a disciple of Jesus. The reason to be a disciple of Jesus is pretty simple...we are called to go and make more disciples. We should not only be a disciple of Jesus, we are also called to be disciplemakers. Matt 28:19 says, &quot;Go and make disicples...&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;John 20:21 says, &quot;As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can we make disciples if we are not disciples ourselves? It&#39;s time to seize the Mission of Jesus. Jesus came to &quot;seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So are you going to be like Jake and have a strong passion and desire......ok not for fetching a ball, but to have a strong passion and desire to be a disciple of Jesus? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First Love Fellowship will be a missional church. We will seize the mission of Jesus. Over the next days, weeks, and months, we will be covering what the Mission of Jesus is, in posts on Worshipdude.net.

It was Genesis 1 and 2 and Psalm 1. We also have my Mom, Dad, and Sherry&#39;s Mom here this week. So it was kool to get my dad in on the conversations with Jim, Sam, and Kyle. They knew the story of creation, but reading it for themselves and then talking about it, really gets them to thinking!&lt;br /&gt;Our goal is to read through the Bible with them in 2014. Is it gonna be tough? Yep you better believe it, but the goal is not just to say we read though the Bible. The goal is to &quot;ground&quot; our kids in God&#39;s Word. If we get them grounded, they better &quot;armed&quot; when they go out into the world, which in Jim&#39;s case is sooner than later! He&#39;s a senior this year for those of you that don&#39;t know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalms 1 was an excellent chapter to start because it talks about being grounded like a tree planted by a river. My prayer is that our kids &quot;get&quot; that concept!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description><link>http://www.worshipdude.net/2014/01/we-have-started-bible-reading-plan-for.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Worship Dude)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16985699.post-5497564518029396890</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Dec 2013 16:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-12-31T09:12:14.377-07:00</atom:updated><title>Whats your verse for 2014?</title><description>Today&#39;s verse: &lt;a href=&quot;http://bible.com/59/isa.41.10.esv&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Isaiah 41:10&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This verse says that we don&#39;t have to be afraid, when we follow God, He promises to strengthen and help us in whatever we do. What a great promise!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is the last day of 2013. Today was my last reading of my Bible Plan. I did not hit my goal of reading the Bible through 100%. I read 69.3% of the Bible in 2013. I really don&#39;t like that percentage, so I will push harder in 2014. This year we will be reading together as a family. If I can encourage my kids to read the Bible and they &quot;get it&quot;, it will be the best gift that I can give them. So we are starting tomorrow with the &quot;Book at a Time Bible&quot; Reading Plan by Discipleship Journal through You Version. Which leads me to my next challenge to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You Version is challenging everyone to pick a verse for the year. A verse to help you through 2014.&amp;nbsp; Maybe a reflection for you you to focus on through the year. It might be a new discipline this year or a different way of thinking for the year. They are using a hashtag through twitter and Facebook.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;It&#39;s #verse2014.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My verse for 2014 is &lt;a href=&quot;http://bible.com/59/isa.40.31.esv&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Isaiah 40:31&lt;/a&gt; which says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v31 selected&quot; data-usfm=&quot;ISA.40.31&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;label&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;but they who wait for the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nd&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;Lord&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt; shall renew their strength;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;q2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v31 selected&quot; data-usfm=&quot;ISA.40.31&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;they shall mount up with wings like eagles;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;q1&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v31 selected&quot; data-usfm=&quot;ISA.40.31&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;they shall run and not be weary;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;q2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v31 selected&quot; data-usfm=&quot;ISA.40.31&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;they shall walk and not faint.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;q2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v31 selected&quot; data-usfm=&quot;ISA.40.31&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;q2&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v31 selected&quot; data-usfm=&quot;ISA.40.31&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;My prayer for my family this year is that we renew our strength as we begin the process of church planting.

It was a great experience! Worshiping with great musicians and great new friends was pretty kool! We&#39;ve been members at River of Grace for about 4 months. It&#39;s the first time I&#39;ve been a member of a church without being on it&#39;s staff in 20 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We&#39;ve been &quot;waiting on God&quot; for about 4 months and that&#39;s something that I don&#39;t really enjoy, but yesterday, God encouraged me as led with a great group of musicians. Thanks Jason Burns for asking me to lead while you were away! The musicians that I led with yesterday was:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jim Young-Accoustic Guitar&lt;br /&gt;Debbie Dunsmoor-Piano&lt;br /&gt;Evan Lancelot-Accoustic Guitar&lt;br /&gt;Sam Lancelot-Bass&lt;br /&gt;Jim Ketchum-Drums&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today&#39;s verse is found in &lt;a href=&quot;http://bible.com/1/isa.40.31.kjv&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Isaiah 40:31&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;The verse promises that when we wait on the Lord, He will renew our strength so we can do great things for HIM. That is so kool!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, we were in &lt;a href=&quot;http://bible.com/1/rev.21.1-2.kjv&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Revelation 21&lt;/a&gt;, an awesome chapter of what we have to look forward to after this life comes to an end. Go read the entire chapter it&#39;s pretty awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&#39;s ten facts about heaven:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. It shines with the Glory of God&lt;br /&gt;2. It has 12 gates guarded by 12 angels&lt;br /&gt;3. Each tribes of Israel (12 of them) are written on each gate.&lt;br /&gt;4. There are 3 gates on each side (North, South, East and West) of the city.&lt;br /&gt;5. The wall has 12 foundation stones, each represented by the 12 apostles.&lt;br /&gt;6. The city measures 1,400 miles square, length, width, and height.&lt;br /&gt;7. The walls are 216 feet thick.&lt;br /&gt;8. The wall is made out of jasper.&lt;br /&gt;9. The foundation stones are made out of 12 different precious stones, v. 19-20&lt;br /&gt;10. The city is made out of pure Gold that is clear! Can you say transparent Gold?&lt;br /&gt;11. The gates are made our of pearl.&lt;br /&gt;12. There is no temple because God and the Lamp are it&#39;s temple. They are also the LIGHT of the City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go read the rest of it today and share it with your family and friends!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description><link>http://www.worshipdude.net/2013/12/yesterdays-worship-verse-of-day-and.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Worship Dude)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16985699.post-3434757284788940762</guid><pubDate>Mon, 26 Aug 2013 12:55:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-08-26T06:55:32.950-06:00</atom:updated><title>Verse and Thought of the Day</title><description>Verse and Thought for the Day: At the church that I went to yesterday, Pastor Paul﻿ spoke on Hebrews 10:18-25. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Verse 24-25 says this, 24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If believers in churches would stimulate one another to love and good deeds and we would encourage one another, there would be no churches splitting. It seems that strife is all around in churches everywhere. The problem? Those same believers don&#39;t read the Bible and they don&#39;t know the TRUTH and instead they listen to Satan&#39;s lies.</description><link>http://www.worshipdude.net/2013/08/verse-and-thought-of-day.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Worship Dude)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16985699.post-8679949147726231484</guid><pubDate>Sat, 24 Aug 2013 13:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-08-24T07:49:59.514-06:00</atom:updated><title>Verse of the Day</title><description>&lt;span class=&quot;verse v18 highlighted&quot; data-highlight-color=&quot;#67c8ff&quot; data-highlight-ids=&quot;86402865&quot; data-usfm=&quot;2CO.5.18&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #67c8ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v19&quot; data-usfm=&quot;2CO.5.19&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;label&quot;&gt;19 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;that  is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting  their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of  reconciliation. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v20&quot; data-usfm=&quot;2CO.5.20&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;label&quot;&gt;20 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;Therefore,  we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us.

It&#39;s talking about the Bible that we have in our hands. When we don&#39;t know the Word, we become weak. We can be successful, when we learn God&#39;s word. It is profitable for doctrine or teaching.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v16&quot; data-usfm=&quot;2TI.3.16&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;We need to learn all we can about the book that we base our Salvation on. If you believe that Jesus saved you and that you are going to heaven when you die, why wouldn&#39;t you fully immerse yourself in the Word? All around me, I see people that say they know Jesus, but they don&#39;t read their Bible and they don&#39;t even go to church every week. My question is why? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v16&quot; data-usfm=&quot;2TI.3.16&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v16&quot; data-usfm=&quot;2TI.3.16&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;The Bible is also good for reproof and correction. Most people don&#39;t like to be corrected, I know, I don&#39;t, but that&#39;s what the Bible does. It show us when we&#39;ve messed up. The Holy Spirit has alot to do with that too. If we&#39;re wrong or make a mistake, we need to realize it so we don&#39;t make the mistake again. That&#39;s what the Bible can do for us. I believe we don&#39;t want to read the Word, because we don&#39;t want to change our ways. That&#39;s a hard statement..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v16&quot; data-usfm=&quot;2TI.3.16&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v16&quot; data-usfm=&quot;2TI.3.16&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;The Bible is also profitable for training in righteousness. When people have a job, most go to college to learn about that job. Some have on the job training. An athlete trains, and trains, and trains some more to be the best that he or she can be.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v16&quot; data-usfm=&quot;2TI.3.16&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;We are to train if we want to be a successful believer.

What does that really mean? When Jesus, was on this earth, salt was very valuable and soldiers were even given salt as their paycheck. Why? Because salt preserved food. People were always needing salt. Salt was an great influence on the earth at that time. Everyone needed and wanted salt. Jesus said that we are to be salt, because everyone needs what we have, but today not everyone wants what we have. We have to be influencers!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v16&quot; data-usfm=&quot;MAT.5.16&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;wj&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v16&quot; data-usfm=&quot;MAT.5.16&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;wj&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Have you ever been down in a cave? Usually, you have a guide with a flashlight. At one point, the guide tells you that he is going to turn the light off and he wants you to put your hand really close to your face. After he turns the light off, he asks if you can see your hand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;p&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;verse v16&quot; data-usfm=&quot;MAT.5.16&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;wj&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;content&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;&quot;&gt;Anybody remember that?

It is a dark place and we&#39;ve been called to be the flashlight of Jesus. Verse 16 says that we should let our good deeds shine for all to see, so that everyone will praise God. That&#39;s being an Influencer for HIM! My prayer today, as a Pastor, is that YOU can be an Influencer around your neighborhood, your family, your school, your workplace, or wherever you go for Jesus!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.worshipdude.net/2013/07/verse-of-day-7-11-2013.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Worship Dude)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kVF8o3e6dQo/Ud6uLD6iCYI/AAAAAAAABWE/aaMP3vAaSqA/s72-c/Bible+1.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16985699.post-3459960605410502836</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Jul 2013 14:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-07-05T08:53:46.455-06:00</atom:updated><title>First Love Church</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e4uMz3oerqE/UdbYfTNTfqI/AAAAAAAABV0/VRtJaHw5e5A/s1600/FLC-Reach+relate+reproduce.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e4uMz3oerqE/UdbYfTNTfqI/AAAAAAAABV0/VRtJaHw5e5A/s1600/FLC-Reach+relate+reproduce.jpg&quot; height=&quot;106&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The Lord has called us to LAUNCH a new church in Pueblo West, Colorado.

The fourth &quot;fruit of the Spirit&quot;. The Greek word for patience (longsuffering in the KJV) is &quot;Makrothumia&quot;. It means endurance, constancy, steadfastness, perseverance,&amp;nbsp; forbearance, longsuffering, slowness in avenging wrongs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fruits of the Spirit work together. If we don&#39;t have patience with one another, then we&#39;re not going to have peace with one another, the fruit that we looked at yesterday. So when we begin losing patience, we need to stop and think about how &quot;losing patience&quot; will affect our relationship with each other and our relationship to HIM!</description><link>http://www.worshipdude.net/2013/05/family-devo-5-14-2013.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Worship Dude)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TQlS1Wcv8L8/UZD91HxmCsI/AAAAAAAABUA/gTaH5ySBRJ8/s72-c/Pastor%2527s+Bible+Study.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16985699.post-7541534319992125364</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 May 2013 14:55:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-05-13T08:55:12.313-06:00</atom:updated><title>Family Devo-5-13-2013</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TQlS1Wcv8L8/UZD91HxmCsI/AAAAAAAABUA/gTaH5ySBRJ8/s1600/Pastor%27s+Bible+Study.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TQlS1Wcv8L8/UZD91HxmCsI/AAAAAAAABUA/gTaH5ySBRJ8/s1600/Pastor&#39;s+Bible+Study.jpg&quot; height=&quot;180&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;In our family devo at the Ketchum house this morning, we&#39;ve been looking at the Fruits of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23, &quot;But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!&quot; NLT&lt;br /&gt;Today, we focused on the third fruit, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;peace&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. In the Greek work is &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;Eirene&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. It is pronounced &quot;i-ray&#39;-nay&quot;. The definition for peace is: a state of national tranquillity, exemption from the rage and havoc of war, peace between individuals, i.e. harmony, concord, security, safety, prosperity, felicity, (because peace and harmony make and keep things safe and prosperous) of the Messiah&#39;s peace the way that leads to peace (salvation) of Christianity, the tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and content with its earthly lot, of whatsoever sort that is the blessed state of devout and upright men after death. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In our devo this morning with the kids, we focused on the peace between individuals, ie. harmony between family members. When we are about to start an argument between each other, let&#39;s consider one of the fruits of the Spirit-peace in Gal. 5:23. The Greek word for peace, &quot;Eirene&quot; is in the New Testament 86 times!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.biblestudytools.com/lexicons/greek/kjv/eirene.html&quot;&gt;http://www.biblestudytools.com/lexicons/greek/kjv/eirene.html&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://www.worshipdude.net/2013/05/family-devo-5-13-2013.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Worship Dude)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TQlS1Wcv8L8/UZD91HxmCsI/AAAAAAAABUA/gTaH5ySBRJ8/s72-c/Pastor&#39;s+Bible+Study.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16985699.post-163407657278050280</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-02-06T09:02:40.918-07:00</atom:updated><title>Kyle and Cade</title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-epAysSnP1FU/URJ92EHA7cI/AAAAAAAABTI/g9poOCzUgRs/s1600/2013-02-06_07-43-28_820.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-epAysSnP1FU/URJ92EHA7cI/AAAAAAAABTI/g9poOCzUgRs/s320/2013-02-06_07-43-28_820.jpg&quot; width=&quot;180&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;I took these two guys to school this mornin&#39;.

The second verse says that HE will teach us HIS ways and we will walk in HIS paths. That should be a life changing statement for us that are believers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;When we WALK in HIS Paths, we can do great things for HIM!

I preached a funeral for a 23 year old young man, who overdosed on drugs. I did not know him but knew his aunt and her family very well. I also knew that 90 percent of the crowd would be between the ages of 18-25 and most of them did not have a relationship with Christ. The family wanted me to preach a Salvation message, which is what I would have done anyway.&lt;br /&gt;Approximately 100 people attended the funeral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plan, that we followed was to open with a song, then hear from family and friends that talked about him, then I preached, and finally a video about him. When we got to the message and some realized that I was going to preach, around 10 people got up and left the service and began to curse while going out the door. They hung around outside until the video began and they came back in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was reminded of Jesus&#39; parable of the sower in Mark 4. The seed fell in four different places. The seed fell yesterday at Broadway. It fell in different places. My prayer is that Jesus takes the seed and uses it for HIS glory. This week on three occasions, the LORD has reminded me of the importance of sharing to others what Jesus did for them. It&#39;s a BIG job, folks, but we&#39;re in a battle and that was clear yesterday at the funeral.&lt;br /&gt;In Mark 4:24, Jesus said, &quot;Pay attention!&quot; I think HE really wanted us to know this next part. Here it is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Then he added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given—and you will receive even more. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mark 4:24-25&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;We need to LISTEN to HIM so we can gain more understanding so we can spread the seed and then pray that the seed will work it&#39;s way into people&#39;s hearts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://www.worshipdude.net/2013/02/interesting-friday.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Worship Dude)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16985699.post-607518075893734622</guid><pubDate>Mon, 28 Jan 2013 14:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2013-01-28T07:37:57.510-07:00</atom:updated><title>Jesus Crucified!</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;I&#39;m in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youversion.com/bible/116/mat.27.nlt&quot;&gt;Matthew 27&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youversion.com/bible/116/mat.28.nlt&quot;&gt;28&lt;/a&gt;, in my Bible reading. As believers, we know the story of how our Savior was crucified for our sin, but we need to be reminded of what HE did for us. I&#39;m reminded of &quot;The Passion of the Christ&quot; movie. It so vividly portrayed what happened to Jesus. My kids watched these clips with me this morning and they said they had never seen it. So guess what we are going to be doing this week. We&#39;ll be sitting down as a family and watching it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot;

This chapter was about the Last Supper and the betrayal of Jesus by Judas, and even Peter cutting off the ear of Malchus! John says that the man was Peter. (Jn. 18:10) There&#39;s alot to meditate on and discuss from this story, but I want to focus on Peter. I have heard alot of sermons (at least 1,560) and when discussing Peter, Pastors seem to focus on Peter&amp;nbsp;denying&amp;nbsp;Christ and true he did do that:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Meanwhile, Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;came over and said to him, “You were one of those with&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jesus the Galilean.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;But Peter denied it in front of everyone. “I don’t know what&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;you’re talking about,” he said.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Later, out by the gate, another servant girl noticed him and said to&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;those standing around, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Again Peter denied it, this time with an oath.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;“I don’t even know the man,” he said.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;A little later some of the other bystanders came over to Peter and said,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;“You must be one of them; we can tell by your Galilean accent.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Peter swore, “A curse on me if I’m lying—I don’t know the man!”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;And immediately the rooster crowed.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Suddenly, Jesus’ words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;And he went away, weeping bitterly.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew 26:69-75&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;And he cut off Malchus&#39; ear to &quot;defend&quot; Jesus. I guess he was feeling brave standing right beside the Son of God.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;For some reason, we like to focus on the negative. I guess it&#39;s because we&#39;re humans! So, out of all the sermons that I&#39;ve heard, (yeah around 1,560) I only heard 1, yep only 1, that focused on the positive aspect of Peter. That sermon I heard was 20 years ago when I was in college at Baptist Bible College. The Pastor discussed this passage:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;In their fear, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;“Take courage. I am here!”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-style: italic; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-style: italic; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;you, walking on the water.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-style: italic; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Yes, come,” Jesus said.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: inline !important;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;i&gt;So Peter went over the side of the boat&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-style: italic; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;i&gt;and walked on the water toward Jesus.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-style: italic; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;i&gt;But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-style: italic; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;i&gt;terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-style: italic; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-style: italic; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Matthew 14:26-31&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;The Pastor said, &quot;Peter, got out the boat!&quot; A great thing happened that day, Peter took the first step towards Jesus. But when he took his eyes off of Jesus, look what happened. He became scared and started sinking. His faith was not sturdy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&#39;s my 2 cents, folks: Get out of the boat! Are you gonna fail, and take your eyes off of Jesus? &amp;nbsp;Sure ya are. Why? Because you&#39;re not perfect. Hey you might even deny Jesus, like Peter did! But just remember, HE is always in control and HE will never fail you! You might fail yourself, but HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! NEVER!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;SO....get out of the BOAT! In other words, do SOMETHING for Jesus! If you focus on HIM, he will give you those God moments or God opportunities to do something GREAT!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.worshipdude.net/2013/01/peter-has-always-got-bad-rap.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Worship Dude)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g-QBEbtmZAg/UQQ-lr7fE2I/AAAAAAAABSA/t3otDovY3AI/s72-c/Matthew+16+31-35.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
