Brothers and sisters,
Happy Monday to all! Yesterday we worshipped Almighty God as His thankful children. Then from 2 Corinthians 6, we thought about how to determine who could be trusted to faithfully deliver the good news of Jesus to others. We saw how we could evaluate true messengers of God from uncaring messengers and false teachers in our day. We learned God’s faithful messengers value God’s message over their personal comfort. We learned God’s faithful messengers guard their personal integrity so as not to discredit the message. We also saw that God’s faithful messengers use spiritual weapons and not human weapons or deceitful techniques. We saw that God’s faithful messengers value the praise of God more than the acceptance of men. We discerned God’s faithful messengers care about those to whom they deliver God’s message. True messengers are not just accomplishing goals and tasks but genuinely loving people and seeking for them to know Jesus and live for Him. Faithful messengers of God testify to the truth of the good news of Jesus. Faithful servants of God live lives that validate the message of Jesus before others.
We will observe the Lord’s Supper next Sunday, March 9, 2025, in our morning worship.
Remember to “spring forward” on your clocks next Saturday evening as daylight saving time begins.
Remember to keep praying continually for each other. None of us know fully the burdens our brothers and sisters in Christ might be carrying.
Love being your pastor!
Bob Ray, Pastor, East Madison Baptist Church
