Sunday Message

Dear Sisters & Brothers,

It has been a cold week here in Utah, God bless my Wife Debbie for digging in and shoveling the 9 inches of snow from the driveway for me before I got home, man Wives what would we do without their love and kindness in our lives.

Their will not be a Sunday Message next week as I’m off to warmer weather about 260 miles South of here to a training conference in St.George for a week learning new Building Codes.

Speaking of that special love between a Husband and Wife… what about Gods love for all of us as it says in the book of John.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16 NKJV)

This is the highest expression of love of which we can conceive. A parent who should give up his only son to die for others who are guilty if this could or might be done would show higher love than could be manifested in any other way. It really shows the depth of the love of God, that he was willing to give his only Son into the hands of sinful men that he might hang on a Cross and endure so much pain, and thus redeem us from eternal sorrow.

YES God LOVES US ! That is the greatest message we will ever hear. Thankfully, however, this is not just a message in words. God wanted us to know his love for us, so he demonstrated that love at great personal cost. God loves us! We know that because he gave his Son for us. God loves us! He didn't want the power of "perish" to claim us, so he gave us the power of his love. God loves us! He sacrificed so we could have life. God loves us! Don't ever doubt it. Don't let the evil one rob you of this life-giving truth. God loves you and wants to give you life!

You know just maybe we or someone we know have fallen away over time, this is a good day for restore your first love and renew that feeling that you once had or could have.

Father, I believe that you gave Jesus to save me from my sins. I confess that I cannot fully understand that love, but I thank you and praise you with all of my heart. Please forgive me when my life does not reflect your loving estimation of my worth.

Give me strength to believe what you say about me. I place my full trust in your love to continue its transformational work of redemption in me. Thank you that you are making me better than I am right now. Thank you even more for saving me from my sin and giving me life with you.

In Jesus' name. Amen.

God Bless and have a great week

Dear Brothers and Sister,

Well another snowy week here in Utah and yes the bikes are still in the garage. Debbie and I did get out last week to Salt Lake to see Toby Keith and Joe Nichols in concert and it was good even with a case of the flu.

We would like to welcome some new members from Arkansas this week, Bill Moore from Ft. Smith, Logan & Debbie Ryan from Van Buren and Steve & Sheila Chase also from Ft.Smith. We also have news that the forming Chapter is Australia is moving along great and recently attended a bike rally over there AWESOME !!

We would like to ask you all to keep Joyce Arriola in your prayers. She is a Dear friend of Steve’s in Pennsylvania and fellow believer who just notified Yesterday that she has been battling intestinal cancer for about 2 months now.

Also please also keep Steve’s son Nathanial in your prayers as next Wednesday he willbe going back into the hospital for evaluation to see if he will need a feeding tube. Today he turns 6 months and still only weighs 9-1/2 pounds. He is not eating well.

This week we will see the affects Jesus had on a man named Nicodemus who was a Pharisee and a religious leader. Nicodemus asks Jesus what it means to be "born again."

Jesus replied, "I assure you, unless you are born again, you can never see the Kingdom of God." John 3:3

Jesus pretty much tells Nicodemus, a religious ruler and a righteous man, that he must start over. Not only that, he tells him he must have a fresh start that only God can bring about. He must be reborn. This is no longer a theological discussion, but a personal one; "...unless YOU are born again..."

But more than just being born "again," Jesus is telling Nicodemus that he must be born "from above" or "born of God." Another human birth, another birth by human efforts and origins, simply can't accomplish what is necessary for him to be a part of God's Kingdom.

This something that the best of the best can't accomplish for himself. Good won't cut it. Only God can make the grade and only God can make this birth happen. Can we hear that? Oh yes, because in our heart of hearts, we all know we don't measure up.

Deep down, we know that only God's grace and the power of the Holy Spirit can make us God's holy children.

Nicodemus defends Jesus during a proceeding involving religious leaders. And he cooperates with Joseph of Arimathea in the burial of Jesus.

In closing Father, thank you for not only providing the sacrifice for my sins in Jesus, but also for providing the birth that makes me your holy child. By grace and in the name of Jesus I pray. Amen !!

Respectfully,

Red
