One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts . Psalm 145:4 Mary White is a communications expert she said this about what a person's legacy is, " When a person dies, the mark the individual left on the world represents that individual's legacy. While a person's legacy can involve money, the concept of legacy is much larger than the value of an individual's estate. It is about the richness of the individual's life, including what that

But the Lord was pleased; To crush Him, putting Him to grief ; Isaiah 53:10 Welcome to Grace Harvest Baptist Church on this Easter Sunday. As we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ let us remember the cost of our salvation. God allowed His Son to suffer at the hands of wicked men. He was mocked, spit on, beaten, and crucified for the salvation of all that would believe in Him. It is hard to imagine that the will of God would be for His Son to be cr

And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers . Acts 2:42 At Pentecost, after the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples, Peter preached to the crowd gathered. The last thing he said to them was, “ Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified .” After this the people wanted to know what they must do, Now when they heard this the

If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better . Philippians 1:22-23 As believers in Jesus Christ we should desire to know Christ intimately and desire to be with Him. We also should be totally committed to the advancement of the kingdom and serving Christ on earth. Every believer should echo the words of Paul, to live i

And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 1 John 2:3 Have you ever had anyone ask you, “How do you know you are saved?” or have you even doubted your own salvation? Sometimes doubting is a good thing because it makes us examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5). The Bible tells us how we can examine ourselves and know beyond a shadow of doubt we are followers of Christ. Here are five questions to ask examine you

For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's . Romans 14:8 When you think of the term “sold out” what comes to mind? Paul did not use that term when it came to being a follower of Christ. He was more direct as we see in Romans 14:8. Once we become a believer in Jesus Christ we make Him Lord of our lives. There is no salvation without Christ being the Lord of our lives. It seems unbelievab

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered . Psalm 32:1 While not certain, it is quite probable that David wrote Psalm 32 after his sin with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband Uriah for more read (2 Samuel 11&12) it seems very similar to Psalm 51 where we know from the introduction that the sin being confessed was that of adultery with Bathsheba. However, before David's confession regarding his sin, we see the torment of unconfessed sin in

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 In John 15 Jesus teaches us about abiding in Him. He explains that He is the vine and we are the branches and apart from Him we can bear no fruit. He goes on to explain that if we abide in Him we will glorify the Father. Jesus then says, “ As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love .” Love is central to our walk with Christ. Without love we cannot be

The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want . Psalm 23:1 This is the opening verse to one of the most comforting Psalms in scripture. You would assume that most Christians are very familiar with the 23 rd Psalm and that have even memorized the Psalm. But not so fast in your assumption. Albert Mohler wrote the following about Bible illiteracy in the church today: “While America’s evangelical Christians are rightly concerned about the secular worldview’s rejection of biblical Chr
