My Weekend Recap from last week was about unity. In light of the shooting which took place in Pennsylvania on Saturday (7/13/24), I thought it was important to circle back around. At Palmetto Shores Church yesterday, we took a brief moment before our sermon to pray for unity in our country and unity in the church. Here is an excerpt …
“O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.” Psalm 5:3 Devotion: Does God care when we come to Him? In one sense, no—anytime is a good time to come to God. But in another sense, the time that we come to Him actually says something. So when David …
“To obey God, is not so much our duty as our privilege; his commands carry meat in the mouth of them. He bids us repent; and why? That our sins may be blotted out. He commands us to believe: and why? That we may be saved. There is love in every command: as if a king should bid one of …
In our previous articles, we have been exploring the profound truth that life is found in Jesus, as Paul outlines in Colossians 1:15-20. We first examined how Jesus is the divine source of life and then considered His sustaining power that holds everything together. Today, we will uncover the third aspect of the life of Jesus which we need to …
Yesterday at Palmetto Shores Church, we considered the significance of unity in the body of Christ. Psalm 133:1 opens up saying, “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!” It is pleasing to God, to us, and to the world around us when we have the same heart. Unity in our own power is impossible, but …
“To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning. Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray.” Psalm 5:1-2 Devotion: There are different ideas in our world about what prayer really is. Some would say that prayer is …
“We know what God has said to the Satan, what the Satan has said to God, and what God has decreed for Job. We know that Job’s sufferings are not because he is an impenitent sinner but precisely because he is a real and faithful believer. We know that Job is not the story of everyman but the story of …
In the previous articles, we began to unravel the profound truth that life is found in Jesus, as Paul reveals in Colossians 1:15-20. We discussed how Jesus is the divine source of life and how our very existence is rooted in Him. Today, we will explore the second aspect of the life of Jesus that sustains us every moment. 2. …
Yesterday at Palmetto Shores Church we refocused on the glory of God. We were reminded that God deserves all the honor and praise from our lives. And that includes our deepest passions to know Him and make Him known. Over the next few weeks I have some important prayer requests: 1) VBS at the church Sunday night July 7th 2) …
“In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.” Psalm 4:8 Devotion: We generally equate sleeplessness with restlessness.
