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.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
