savior and rescuer


There are so many ways that describe our God.  He really is good.  If we list what we have learned and experienced about our God, that would be a long list.  Each of us have come in to contact with Him, but if we haven’t, I pray that today is the day you do.


Don’t take it for granted that you know God and your neighbor or friend does too.  Ask the question.  Share about your salvation.  That person near you needs Him.  We need a Savior.


Psalm 145:9  NLT

The Lord is good to everyone.  He showers compassion on all his creation.


He is compassionate toward us.  He is not just the judge, He is the justifier.  He is not just the creator, He is savior.  He is not just the son of God, He is the sacrificial lamb for us.


We never know who we might meet.  We really aren’t aware of what all people need.  We might even miss the opportunity to help someone see God the way we see Him.  If they aren’t aware that He is the Savior, and ready to save and rescue, then share!


What does being saved lead to?  What does our rescue do inside of us?  It is a lot.  And it doesn’t end there.


Psalm 18:2  NLT

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.


That is personal.  David said God you are … my rock, my fortress, my savior, my God, my protector, my shield, my safety.  We all need a savior and rescuer.  He is Jesus!


John 3:17  NASB

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.


That is why this weekend I will share week 4 of our series “good God” at The Community Fellowship.  Knowing Jesus changes everything.  From eternal salvation to daily rescuing, God is for us, ready to help and the one that all need.


Psalm 18:6  NASB

In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried to my God for help; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry for help before Him came into His ears.


He is our Savior!


Jude 1:25  NLT

All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
