Promised Peace | Feb 13th

"The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:7

Beloved, are you in need of peace today? Is your heart overwhelmed with the cares of life? How shall we obtain a peace that surpasses all that we understand in the reality of life?

The promise of God's peace is not empty. It is a promise founded on the truthfulness of God's nature and word. The peace of God is received when we come to the Lord with our needs. We believe that He is willing and able to help us.

Let us come to the Lord in prayer today. Cast your cares upon Him with confidence. Know that you are heard and God is willing to help. The Spirit of the Lord will fill us with peace as we draw close through prayer and stand upon the Word of God.

In Christ Alone,

Cry for Mercy | Feb.12th

"God, be merciful to me, a sinner!"

Luke 18:13

What shall be our plea before God? On what grounds shall we ask for mercy?

In this world, we often present all the positive reasons why someone should help us or give us some benefit in life. We explain how well we work, what we have accomplished, and why we deserve what we request.

Before the Lord, there are no such claims. There is nothing we can boast of or offer as merit. The only thing we can confess is that we are hopeless sinners. Our cry is mercy. We beseech God and His mercy. This is our only hope. Thankfully, we shall not be turned away but receive the mercy of God in Christ.

Let us seek the mercy of God today and confess our need for Him.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

The Faithful | Feb.

"I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal. So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace."

Romans 11:4-5

Elijah was concerned in his day that none would serve God, that he alone was the last faithful preacher. The Lord reassured him that there was still a true remnant faithful to God.

Human history has often been shrouded in darkness, but even in the most desperate times, when the darkness tries to extinguish the light, it fails. The Lord has promised that His church shall always prevail. Persecution will rise and fall in intensity against the people of God, but grace will prove sufficient to weather these storms.

False teachers have come, and the tares will grow among the wheat, but a remnant will always remain. Those who will not compromise and who love the truth. Chosen by God through grace. Let us be numbered among the remnant, who only bow their knee to Christ Jesus our Lord.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
