Remember: He WANTS your fellowship, and He has done everything possible to make it a reality. He has forgiven your sins, at the cost of His own dear Son. He has given you His Word, and the priceless privilege of prayer and worship. - Billy Graham
And Jesus answered him, “It is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’” – Luke 4: 8-9

From the Pastor
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
Many of us are familiar with the Great Commission and Jesus’ command to “…Go, therefore and make disciples…” If we are not careful, we can miss the small part at the end of the passage, but it was key for the disciples and us. The disciples were going to be moving forward into a new season of their lives and God’s plan for them. Jesus was ascending to the Father’s Right Hand, and He wanted them to know and remember something.
Jesus would be with them always, even to the very end of the age. This would be key for them as they moved forward in life and ministry. All of them would need to rely on Jesus’ presence in their hearts and lives to direct their steps, care for them amid a variety of circumstances and make their lives fruitful as they depended upon Him and the Holy Spirit.
As you move into the month of August, remember the same is true of your life. Jesus is with you always. He has sent the Holy Spirit to be in our hearts, to work in and through all of us to accomplish His will of making us disciples who make disciples. He has also given us His Word. The Holy Spirit uses the Word of God to change us, shape and mold our lives, like clay in the potter’s hand, and to direct our steps. You are not alone as life moves on from summer into the fall, and the rhythm of life changes. No, Jesus is with you always. Rely on Him, rest in Him and obey Him. He will lead you each step of the way.
Blessings!
