Does the Bible Talk About That
I have just recently completed an eight-part Bible study entitled "Does the Bible Talk About That?"
TV shows, movies, magazines, books and the internet are full of strange theories and ideas about issues of the paranormal, extra-terrestrial and life beyond the grave. But just what does the Bible have to say about any of these strange but popular issues? Find out in this study as we find out how the Bible speaks to these fascinating topics. - As promised the complete series is online here:
I would love to hear your comments or questions, thanks for letting me share with you.
Blessings,
Jesse

Christ in You
“…I
became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me
for you, to fulfill the word of God, the mystery which has been hidden from ages
and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. To them God willed to make known what are
the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the
hope of glory.” (Col. 1:25-27)
What
amazing truth – The Lord Jesus Christ lives in believers, if you are a believer
let me restate that… The Lord Jesus Christ lives in you. Think about Who it is that is who lives in
you and what that means for your life…
·
Christ – The anointed One – He was chosen,
promised, provided
·
Christ – The all knowing One- He knows enough to
get you through
·
Christ – The all wise One –He knows what to do
with the information He has
·
Christ – Everywhere One – He is never taken by
surprise
·
Christ – The all loving One – He has the best of
intentions for you
·
Christ-
The all gracious One – He is generous with you
·
Christ – The always with you One – He will never
abandon you.
·
Christ -
The all faithful One – He will never let you down
·
Christ – The sympathetic One – He understands you
Not only is it amazing that HE lives in you. Think about the reality that He lives in
YOU! Think about you for the moment…
·
You the unlikely
·
You the undeserving
·
You the previously unknowing
·
You who have hope through Him
·
You who have a divine hope since it is Him
All of the above brings us to a simple point are you living
and serving as if (for He is) Jesus is within you? I mean really within you? I mean really within you right this
moment? I mean really within you right this
moment and always? I confess I often don’t
but thank you Paul for the reminder from Colossians 1:25-27.

The Stages of Motherhood
(This list is not original - and I have no author to attribute it to)
The Stages
Of Motherhood
Here is a
light hearted presentation of what we all think about our moms, at different
points of our lives. Don't get surprised because we all have the same tendency
towards our mothers!
4 Years Of Age - My Mommy can do anything;
8 Years Of Age - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot
12 Years Of Age -My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.
14 Years Of Age -Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either
16 Years Of Age -Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned
18 Years Of Age -That old woman? She's way out of date
25 Years Of Age -Well, she might know a little bit about it
35 Years Of Age -Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion
45 Years Of Age -Wonder what Mom would have thought about it
65 Years Of Age -Wish, I could talk it over with Mom

So was Sarah

Isaac went blind
Rebekah played favorites
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem / murderer
Miriam was a gossip
Gideon was coward
Samson was a womanizer
Rahab was a prostitute
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David was an Adulterer and a murderer
Elijah was suicidal
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
So was Ruth
Job went bankrupt
Hosea had a bad marriage
Mary was a teenager
So was Daniel
