my savior


There is something about us that changes greatly when we finally come face to face with God.  He changes us.  His love is poured out on us in refreshing ways.


God has chosen His best gift to flow his salvation through.  This Sunday we continued our series “good God” by discussing how God is our Savior and how He rescues us on a daily basis.


David in Psalm 30 describes this across the twelve verses in a way that make is very personal.  He talked about a sickness that almost took his life or maybe the deep, dark depression that loomed over his life.  God came close and rescued the one He loved so much.


Hosea 13:4  NLT

“I have been the Lord your God ever since I brought you out of Egypt. You must acknowledge no God but me, for there is no other savior.


God continues to rescue.  He is our Savior.  Always will be our savior.  Just like God brought the people out of Egypt and through the Red Sea, He will bring us through.


He is our God.  He continues to be our Savior.


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.


I love how David put that together.  It was personal.  My rock.  My fortress.  My Savior.  My rock.  My shield.  No question what so ever because God showed up and showed off doing what He was called to do.


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.


We will stop there.  Yet I ask … how have your experienced God and found Him to be good?  Think about it.  Share with others.  He is our savior and ready to rescue us!

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 ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
