So, what is your story?

To have or to have not…it is your choice…
Submitted by Dapedersen on Mon, 11/18/2019 - 18:144:25 Mark “For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” (ESV)
What measure do you use?
Submitted by Dapedersen on Mon, 11/18/2019 - 08:344:24 Mark “And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.” (ESV)
Does your faith bear fruit?
Submitted by Dapedersen on Sat, 11/16/2019 - 10:234:20 Mark “But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” (ESV)
Don’t be unfruitful in following Jesus…
Submitted by Dapedersen on Fri, 11/15/2019 - 17:544:19 Mark “but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.“ (NIV)
Do you hear Jesus speaking to you?
Submitted by Dapedersen on Fri, 11/15/2019 - 16:444:09 Mark “Then Jesus said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear."“ (NIV)
Jesus teaches from a boat near the shoreline. The crowds keep pushing closer to hear Him. He talks about the Sower and the Seed… basically where the seed falls and what happens to it. Not all seed produces a crop. But, the good seed that falls on fertile soil produces 30, 60, or even 100 times what took root and that grew. We need to hear His Word and share it with others if we want to see it grow and mature as well. Hear His Word and then take action to share it with others.
It is good to have family!
Submitted by Dapedersen on Wed, 11/13/2019 - 19:543:35 Mark “Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother.“ (NIV)
Jesus in healing people with a crowd outside the house where He is staying. When told that His mother and brothers were outside to see Him, Jesus responded with this verse. He is not distancing Himself from them but rather He is being more inclusive to the rest of us. If we trust in God and believe that Jesus died for our sins, then we are part of the family of God. What an amazing gift that is for us. We have close family all over the world!
Pray for unity at home…
Submitted by Dapedersen on Tue, 11/12/2019 - 10:023:25 Mark “If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.“ (NIV)
Jesus talked about kingdoms and countries… now He talks to us about home and families. He stresses that we must have a unity in our spirit. He wants us to have peace and harmony in our homes. With such love and lots of prayer, those families can withstand any trials or problems which may come their way. Today, make it a point to say “I love you!” to each of your family members (and extended family, too). Let His love work through you to bring unity of spirit to all whom you love.
His kingdom is not divided…
