A WORD from MINISTER BERNARD CHEEKS & A WORD FROM GOD

JUST THOUGHT I'D TAKE A MINUTE TO SHARE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD WITH YOU TODAY. NOT BECAUSE YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW HOW GOOD HE IS BUT FOR THE SIMPLE FACT OF LETTING YOU KNOW THAT I KNOW AND RECOGNIZE WHERE MY STRENGTH COMES. SOMETIMES WE GET WEARY, SOME TIMES WE GET A LITTLE "FLESHY", SOMETIMES WE LET THINGS GET UNDER OUR SKIN AND CAUSE US TO ACT IN A WAY THAT THERE IS NO "GOD" SHOWING IN OUR ACTIONS.

BUT I ASK YOU TO TAKE A MINUTE AND TAKE A REAL DEEP BREATH (I'LL WAIT) AND THEN LET IT OUT. NOW HOLD YOUR BREATH FOR 15 SECONDS (DON'T CHEAT AND BREATHE THRU YOUR NOSE) AND THEN IF YOU DON'T REALIZE AT THE VERY, VERY LEAST, YOU HAVE SOMETHING TANGIBLE TO GIVE "GOD" PRAISE FOR, IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT.....IT'S THE AIR THAT YOU BREATHE.

SO AT THE VERY LEAST, I GAVE YOU ONE THING TO BE THANKFUL FOR AND THAT'S THE JUST THE BEGINNING, RIGHT ABOUT NOW, EXCUSE ME WHILE I GET MY PRAISE ON!! TAKE THE TIME AND READ THE SCRIPTURES BELOW, THESE ARE FAVORITE SCRIPTURES THAT OTHER SAINTS HAVE SHARED WITH ME WHEN THEY ARE GOING THRU!

JESUS IS REAL, TAKE THE TIME TO RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE A "FAVORITE" OF THE KING OF KINGS, AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FALL INTO PLACE! GOD IS.........

TAKE A MOMENT TO LISTEN TO OUR FEATURED ARTIST, LUTHER BARNES REMINDING US THAT IT'S YOUR TIME. PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW......... MINISTER BERNARD CHEEKS

WITHOUT THE LOVE OF GOD AND THE ABILITY FOR US TO GIVE AND RECEIVE LOVE, WE CAN NOT PLEASE GOD!!

2 John 1:6:
6 what this love consists in is this: that we live and walk in accordance with and guided by His commandments (His orders, ordinances, precepts, teaching). This is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you continue to walk in love [guided by it and following it].

Passage Colossians 1:15-23:

The Supremacy of Christ

15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

21Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of[a] your evil behavior. 22But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— 23if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.
