Church was a joy today. Young Levi treated us to a song. Pastor Dwayne's message concentrated on Jesus. It included a demonstration with a baby, and was so motivational to realize that nothing you can do can make God love you less, and nothing you can do can make God love you more! God's love is so amazing! The video clip we listened to was a spontaneous moment from WorshipU On Campus 2015. Levi blessed us by giving us some of his CDs too!
   | Romans 16:25-27 NLT 25 God is able to make you strong, just as the Good News says. It is the message about Jesus Christ and his plan for you Gentiles, a plan kept secret from the beginning of time. 26 But now as the prophets foretold and as the eternal God has commanded, this message is made known to all Gentiles everywhere, so that they might believe and obey Christ. 27 To God, who alone is wise, be the glory forever through Jesus Christ. Amen. 1 Corinthians 2:6-12 NIV 6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"-- 10 but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. 11 The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. Luke 4:18-19 NIV 18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." |
