May 30, 2019 Ascension of the Lord “ 15 ¶ Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over a

May 26, 2019 Sixth Sunday of Easter “ 1 ¶ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. 6 ¶ Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. 7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” 8

The clouds go by white like sheep guided by the Shepherd As they go some seem to follow in line and even in groups Like sheep some go astray but as before Jesus directs them Some of “the sheep” grow dark and become a strong storm Lightning hurls out their anger and fear of what lies within Thunder awakens not only to their anger but also their fear Confused and twisting wind shrieks from earth to Heaven The winds of fear destroys homes, churches and families All is twisted, pierced and damaged through the confusion The winds blow and fierce rain rattles and shakes everything Roofs are torn off and homes ripped from their foundation Water leaves behind the debris of torn lives and families But then the Son comes and the Light casts darkness aside Families are brought together as Light allows love to grow Homes are rebuilt before houses are rebuilt on foundations Again clouds white like sheep are guided by the Shepherd As they go some

May 12, 2019 Fourth Sunday of Easter – Mother’s Day “ 9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” 13 ¶ Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” 14 And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood o

May 5, 2019 Third Sunday of Easter “ 11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!” 13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!” 14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.” (Re velation 5:11-14 NKJV) In Psalm 100 we are shown the difference between thanksgiving and praise. The psalmist says we can enter the gates with thanksgiving but with praise we come into the court of God,

There is a Trinity of love and a trinity of hate The trinity of hate is: I hate God I hate others Because I hate myself The Trinity of love is: I love God So I can love others Because God loves me I can love myself There are different levels There are different way There are different reasons But we will choose which Trinity we live within

April 28, 2019 Second Sunday of Easter “ John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”” (Re velation 1:4-8 NKJV) The Second Sunday of Easter? What does this mean? Some see Easter as one day involving eggs, chicks and chocolate. We might go to the Sunrise service to recognize
