Wkd Word “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil.” 1 Thess 5:16-21

Weekend Word “It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.” John 13:1

I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. Come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?Christ Jesus who died—who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.”

For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this age, while we wait for the blessed hope—our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it and they all drank from it. “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

“They went to a place called Gethsemane, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. Going a little farther, he and prayed “Abba, Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 “Lord, bend the proud and stiff necked “I”, Help me to bow the head and die; Beholding Him on Calvary, Who bowed his head for me.” Roy Hession

“Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee.”

Weekend Word “Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.” Psalm 62:1-2

I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God

if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has seized you except what is common to all. God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear; when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”

I urge, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—This pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus

I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me…

Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, abounding in thanksgiving. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority.

If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love…” Ephesians 1:3,4

“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison—that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.”

“Praise be to you, O Lord; teach me your decrees! I declare the laws of your mouth. I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.”
