Mystery Monday

God Cleans The Stains

Today for our Monday Motivation we shared a special devotional out of Our Daily Bread called God Cleans The Stains. With a humble and repentant heart, we must acknowledge our sins and place them under the cleansing light of God’s holiness. We must turn from them and return to Him. And He, the only One who cleans the stains of the soul, will offer us complete forgiveness and renewed fellowship. To read the full devotional click HERE.

Today’s Monday Motivation song is the latest from Josh Wilson ‘Things That Im Afraid Of’

An amazing line from that song says,

My fears would surely kill me
If I didn’t know the truth
The things that I’m afraid of
Are afraid of You

It’s so reassuring to remember that God already won the battle and that we are not to be afraid because he has us in his arms.

Name a place that people go to, which they insist be clean.

Bathroom – 42

Restaurant – 30

Kitchen/Fridge – 18

Hospital – 6

Congratulations to our winner, Anna, she won a $5 gift card to Round Hill Dairy!

Thanks for listening!

Hope and Hearing

Today’s Monday Motivation starts with a message about our Lifeline theme, “You Keep Hope Alive.”

Romans 15:13 (ESV) “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”

What is hope? As a noun, hope is: “a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen…“a feeling of trust”…“grounds for believing that something good may happen.”

As a verb, hope or hoping is “wanting something to happen or to be the case…intend to do something; cling to a possibility.”

Romans 15 concludes Paul’s teaching that those strong in faith ought to sacrifice their own desires to live in harmony with other believers. Paul shows that God always planned to welcome the Gentile nations, and his mission is to introduce Gentiles to the message of salvation by faith in Christ. He’s letting all know that the hope God represents is not limited to a certain few; since salvation is for all, then hope is for all.

Why is God the God of hope?  Because of the evidence of Christ’s death and resurrection. His triumph over sin and death. (“You keep hope alive, Jesus, you are alive!) His gift of the Holy Spirit, our advocate, who is with us and allows to always have hope in our future in eternity, with Him. Christ with us and in us IS, as Paul writes in Colossians 1:27, the “hope of glory.”

This is not just a New Testament revelation. Jeremiah 29:11 told us that God’s plans for us are to prosper us and not harm us, to give us a hope and a future.
