Our theme for this year as a church is Hebrews 13:20-21. First listen to it in the (NKJV):

Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, 21 equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

When God wrote the first book on the family over 3,500 years ago, through Moses, He wrote to 600,000 families fresh out of Egypt’s idolatry to guide and nurture them in the Word of the Lord; the need was great.

Think of what type of plan God would devise to train an entire nation and start an entire generation of people towards being holy because God is holy. Sounds impossible, but God laid down the plan and it is captured in Deuteronomy 6.

Amazingly, the plan was simple: it can be called “The God-Centered Family”!

As we open to Deuteronomy 6, we ask, “What specifically did the Lord ask Moses to convey to His people?”

In just four verses, God gave the key to training the families of Israel to keep following their God.

The greatest thing in all of life is knowing, loving and serving God.

The most amazing thing in life is that God uses any of us with all of our weaknesses and struggles.

With those two thoughts in mind, on this Mother’s Day, consider that Mary was offered one of the biggest jobs in the world. As we open to Luke 1:28, ponder this question with me:

When God Picked A Woman to Raise His Son, What Did He Look For?  

Today is Palm Sunday, which has always marked the countdown to the Cross and to the Empty Tomb, which are the greatest days in the history of the Universe. As we open to Mark 11, my desire is that the truth of this great day in Christ’s life touches each of our lives today.

Palm Sunday also marks the start of Passion Week, recording the days of Christ’s final earthly ministry before the Cross. The Four Gospels record Christ’s life in 89 chapters, His Final Week fills more than 1/3 of the chapters of the Gospels[1]: from Matthew 21 on, Mark 11 on, Luke 19 on, and John 12 onward. Also:

Palm Sunday was in the Top 3 Events

This is a challenge to our team going to Italy, but I share it because it is a challenge to all of us. We all are missionaries; we all have a mission from God.

We have been called by God to the ministry of sharing the Good News that God forgives sin, and asking people if they are interested. The Gospel is not that God wants you to have a happy life, feel better, get your marriage straightened out or your life headed the right direction. The Gospel is that God will not overlook any of your sins, and He will not let anyone into Heaven that is not reconciled with Him. We don’t reconcile to God, He reconciles with us.

God left us here to tell people that there’s a way in which all their sins can be forgiven forever.
