Since I was a child, I remember homecoming services at church. I am not sure what made these days so anticipated, but little has changed in my heart about this wonderful day. I enjoy this wonderful day of worshipping the Lord on His day and serving alongside of God’s people. Homecoming day is a special day! But there is coming a greater day! Just as the Bible teaches that there is One greater than Solomon, Moses, John the Baptist and all of the prophets, likewise, there is a greater day coming! A day that is the great homecoming day in which Jesus Christ Himself will shout and we will be changed in the twinkling of an eye! On that great day, we will be home forever more, where there will be no tears, pain, death and sorrow at all. The homecoming in which we will be with the One that gave Himself for us! Homecoming here allows us to look forward to a great homegoing there!! I’m excited, how about you?

Our Lord and Savior gave instructions for His followers to perform while He went away to prepare a place for us. These instructions are found in last verses of Matthew 28. Bible students have named this the great commission. The great commission is a vital part of the Christian life. We must go and tell others of the sacrifice Jesus made and the need of salvation in this world. We must show the need of salvation just as we were shown. We also have a great need for continued teaching and training. A new Christian is a fresh target for Satan and his band of fallen angels. It is important that we go beyond witnessing and we work with young Christians to become strong Christians grounded in the Word of God. They must grow to show others that Jesus saves! Those that have been saved have a duty to grow and mature by discipling other Christians to perform this needed ministry in the future!

We have all seen the little signs about what makes a house a home. Even some that say, “home is where you park it” for those that enjoy an RV. I recently saw one with “Family is what makes a house a home”. These are all wonderful signs that we display and show the affection for and the importance of the home and the family that dwells there. The people of God first made a house for God to dwell in a tent. Later, a magnificent temple was constructed in Jerusalem. Now, we have places of worship to allow the local congregations to come together and worship God. These are not for God to dwell there. God has chosen not to sit in an empty building but in the hearts of men that trust in Him. What a privilege to have such an inhabitant in us! Just as the house is not a home without inhabitants, men are not Christian without God in their temple. May we ever thank Him for dwelling in us!

Today, we celebrate Mother’s Day around the country. We set this day aside to recognize the loving, nurturing, caring spirit of mothers. It is truly described that a mother’s love is like no other love on this earth. The love that is displayed every time they give a tender hug and soft kiss to their child. A mother’s love is not limited to just those expressions, but evident as they prepare an exquisite meal or even perform the thankless task of the endless loads of laundry. A special place is in the heart of a mother for her child. This is why a mother’s love is exemplified at a moment when a mother prays for their child. Whether it be for salvation, strength, healing or the many needs of her child. These prayer warriors are the ladies that are heard in and move heaven for the children. Thank you to all the mothers that have done all the above and gone far above these as well. God bless you all!

Wisdom is a quality that all people should desire. Wisdom is spoken highly of and the search for wisdom is encouraged in the Bible. Our Wednesday evening services have been concentrating on the study in the book of Proverbs. Our study has displayed the wisdom of those that have followed the wisdom of the Lord and the folly of those that have rejected the wisdom of the Lord. The book of Proverbs often uses pathways to describe our choices and consequences of choosing a certain path. What is the difference of knowledge, understanding and wisdom? Join us as we continue to ponder the paths of wisdom during this study! There is much to learn from this wonderful book of the Bible and much that we can apply to our life every day!
