April 14 - Preaching
We are all instructed to preach the gospel (good news of Jesus). Preaching is not just behind a pulpit. In preaching or declaring the good news the message can be conveyed in several ways. I will give you three.
Speaking the gospel.
Living the gospel.
Demonstrating the gospel.
This can take place one on one or in a crowd. We are boldly speaking, testifying, witnessing about Jesus Christ. We are living a life of love and showing that we are believers called to a higher way of living. While demonstrating the gospel doing good works because of our love for Him.
What are you preaching today? People are listening.

April 13 - Resurrection
As the message Sunday declared, if there had been no resurrection than everything listed in I Corinthians 15:12-19 would be true.
Preaching would be useless.
Faith would be useless.
Believers would be liars.
We would still be in our sins.
Those dead in Christ are lost.
Our hope is pitied.
But the good news is there was a resurrection! Hallelujah! Jesus is alive. So the opposite is true.
Preaching is not in vain.
Faith is not futile.
We are not liars.
Our sins have been forgiven.
Death has been defeated.
We have a hope and a future.
Spread the true message, JESUS IS ALIVE!

April 6 - Rejoice
If anyone had a reason to look back it would have been Lot's 2 daughters. They were leaving behind their husbands (they were pledged to be married). What was back in Sodom and Gomorrah for Lot's wife? What is taking your attention off of Jesus? What has your time? Do not let it ruin your life. Cast it off and devote yourself 100% to Jesus! HE IS COMING SOON!
