Time, Treasure, and Talent

  Zechariah 4:7 – “Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” We are entering into a new year. We believe 2025 is a year to shout grace, grace to the mountain. This will be a year we experience God’s abundant grace. John 1:16 from the  ESV  reads, “For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.” I want to challenge you to start the year putting God first in your personal life. In Matthew 6:33 we have this instruction from the Lord Jesus Christ. "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." There are three areas that I believe we need to concentrate on as we enter into a new season. 1.       Our  TIME  - We must be good stewards of our time. We must ask the Lord to help us order our days. I want to challenge you to spend time reading and studying the Wo...

The Spirit of Grace and Supplication

Zechariah 12:10 – “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.” We have entered a new year. Our prophetic declaration for 2025 is “A Year of Abundant Grace.” John 1:16 from the  ESV Bible  reads, “ For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.” This verse speaks to the belief that God's grace is not just a one-time gift but is continuously given, layer upon layer, in an ever-increasing measure.           The historical setting of Zechariah 12:10 speaks of the time when Jesus returns bodily. This is His revelation, His second appearing. This is after the rapture when He comes with His saints at the end of the Great Tribulation to tread the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almight...

The Benefits of Grace

  Psalms 103:1-5 – “ “Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name!  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”             One of the first questions an applicant will ask a prospective employer is “what are the benefits to the employee?”  Do you have insurance coverage?  What are the retirement benefits?  In the study of scripture you learn there are many benefits available to the believer through the grace of God.             The word “benefit” is defined as “something advantageous or good; an advantage.” [i]   Psalms 103:...
