MINISTRY CHALLENGE...Pentecost isn’t just ‘church history’...it is ‘church NOW’! Ordinary folks are still empowered to share God’s glory and reach others in His power. Let’s get to it!

 

FROM LAST WEEK...Pastor Mike noted how many movies are actually about battles of some sort. Jesus knows we ALL have battles. Battles against injustice and indignities. Battles against temptations, guilt, fears, insecurities, discouragements and even persecution. Certainly, we battle against philosophies NOT of our God. But we never battle alone! When in that “upper room”, Jesus prayed a high priestly prayer. We overhear Him praying for His contemporaries and for His disciples today! Jesus is praying for YOU? Rom. 8:34, Heb. 7:25 tell us Jesus prays we find God’s strength for the battles that we have. Jesus prays that we be protected, united in ministry and made holy in truth. “One Hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other”. Just as we delight to know friends are praying for us, it’s great to know that Jesus is also lifting us up to His Heavenly Father! He does not pray that we be removed from all our battles but that we be strengthened by God so that we always do what’s right! We recall an American Indian boy, who learned that his father was with him in the dark night. May we be “Battle Ready” in serving the Lord! (John 17:6-11)
