Being hard of hearing is frustrating.It takes away so much of your quality of life.little thingsyou don't think about.when your ears are not good it affects your whole life. We read in Matthew when Jesus told the parable of the sower and the seed.And why he spoke some times in parables.Its because the people that are listening with their heart will hear and understand.But the ones that are not truly listening won't hear. My hearing really bothers me but lately my spiritual hearing has been dull and that's a whole lot worse.If we are going to follow Jesus we have to always be listening for him . listening and understanding.This won't just happen we have to be intentional about it . That still small voice. Praying and waiting before we act would keep us out of a world of trouble and let us do the work he intended for us to do. This world is getting more stupid all the time there is truly a spiritual battle going on right now. And now is the time to be listening to our leader Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord for continuing to speak to us and guiding us and drawing us ever closer. I Jesus name Amen

Making sure and shoring up, was our message in our meeting this Sunday. We read in Hebrews and 2 Peter. First we need to make sure we have truly been saved not just a superficial religious kind of way but a born in the spirit washed in the blood life changing kind of way. A new creature. Then we need to continue to shore up, make strong. It’s like when you build forms to pour concrete walls. You have to make it shore. You have to put braces in and kickers. Tie wire and blocking. You have one shot at it & when the concrete trucks come, it will either hold or blow out. You have to make sure it’s shore. We don’t do the shoring up to be saved we are already saved but the devil is always looking to get us back. And we are prone to fall back into sin. It’s so easy and the consequences can be devastating to us and our family. And maybe the devil can get us to fall so far we will even denounce the Lord Jesus Christ. So we need to continue to shore this thing up. Praying, reading the word, meeting with others to strengthen each other, pray for each other. That’s one thing that’s good about a small group no one gets lost in the crowd or has to feel left out. Lord thank you for all your goodness and mercy. In Jesus name Amen.
