The work and word of God

 

Lord our Lord, your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth!

It brings you praise in heaven above. You have taught children and babies

to sing praises to you because of your enemies.

And so you silence your enemies and destroy those who try to get even.

 I look at your heavens,which you made with your fingers.

I see the moon and stars,which you created.

But why are people important to you? Why do you take care of human beings? You made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. You put them in charge of everything you made.

You put all things under their control:all the sheep, the cattle, and the wild animals, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that lives under water. Lord our Lord, your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth!

Following Jesus is more than a desire

Pastor Marvin Wilson


Following Jesus is more than a desire

Matthew 8:18 -27


^{When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he told his followers to go to the other side of the lake. Then a teacher of the law came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, I will follow you any place you go.” Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes to live in, and the birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to rest his head.”
Another man, one of Jesus’ followers, said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the people who are dead bury their own dead.” Jesus got into a boat, and his followers went with him. A great storm arose on the lake so that waves covered the boat, but Jesus was sleeping. His followers went to him and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We will drown!”
Jesus answered, “Why are you afraid? You don’t have enough faith.” Then Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the waves, and it became completely calm.
The men were amazed and said, “What kind of man is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him}
