Jul 16, 2023Rainbow PromisesBy: Bro. George RiekSeries: 2023God’s word begins with Genesis 1:1 God created the heavens and the EarthBy Genesis 8, man was so evil, God destroyed everyone except the family of NoahIn Genesis 9 God makes us a promise that includes a signThe Rainbow!!This weekend in VBS the theme has been Noah and the ArkWhat I want to focus on today in the Promise or the CovenantA covenant made by God to all living thingsA covenant that God wanted to remind us of often so He gave us a beautiful rainbowA rainbow is actually a full circle when seen from above but we only see half from the groundA circle also represents perfection and continuityGod destroyed the earth because of the evil of manThis covenant never says man won’t be punished for their evilHowever it is a promise that God loves us so much he won’t flood the whole world againThe first thing that Noah did when he stepped out of the ark was give an offering to GodGod says “the intent of a man’s heart is evil”The only thing that can change that is GodSome try to explain away the rainbow as simply a scientific explanationGod’s word clearly shows that a rainbow is from GodSome of the most beautiful rainbows seem to occur after the worst stormsGod reminding us that He will never leave us or forsake us even when times are bad.Have you ever seen a double rainbow?Have you ever noticed that the color pattern of the second rainbow is a reverse of the firstHow amazing! I like to think of that as a full picture from top to bottom and bottom to top.No matter what comes your way God is always thereA rainbow also causes me to think of another covenant from GodThe one in which Jesus gave His life to save yoursThis beauty makes a rainbow dim in comparisonHave you ever entered into that covenant with God?

Jul 9, 2023Forgivness Is ParamountBy: Bro. George RiekSeries: 2023Everyone here is humanSince we all make mistakes, we all need forgivenessGod gave us the ultimate forgiveness, if we accept itIf we have been forgiven, what does that mean for us?When we need forgiveness, it is the greatest thing we can receiveForgiveness can repair relationships as nothing else canIn this passage a person was in the wrong but they asked for compassionThe compassion led to complete forgivenessThis was an incredible act of kindnessUnfortunately, many people receive forgiveness but don’t reciprocateForgiveness should be given as easily as it is receivedToday we hear many people say, I can never forgive themI’m talking about Christians right nowWhen we have been forgiven there are consequences if we don’t forgiveIf we are to have a relationship, forgiveness is paramountWhen we hold unforgiveness in our hearts, the person that hurts the most is usUnforgiveness creates a barrier to a relationship with people and with GodWhen we have hurt someone we need to go to them and apologizeThis gives us a chance to show our sorrow and them a chance to forgiveWe need to go to those we have hurt and make amendsThis can make both hearts right with GodSee we, as believers, must give others the same forgiveness that God gives usThe way to do this is be kind to everyoneIf we do something wrong to someone, apologizeWhen someone apologizes, forgive themHave you received the forgiveness that Jesus offers today?

Jul 2, 2023Excessive Heat WarningBy: Bro. George RiekSeries: 2023This week we will celebrate Independence day!As a country we are blessed to be free to live and worship as we chooseSo many people have fought and even died to make sure we have this freedomWhich brings me to today’s very pointed messageWe ALL have a choice of where we will spend eternityThis last week we spent under an Excessive Heat WarningIt has been so hot, peoples shoes were literally sticking to melting asphaltIf you choose to reject Jesus Christ…..you ain’t seen nothing yet.We don’t like to talk about Hell because it is scaryI personally don’t believe that our minds can even comprehend how horrifying it isAnd this horror and pain and suffering and heat will NEVER endAre you scared?All week long I heard about how bad the heat was and looking for when it will end.Praise God, this too will passAccording to what I just read in Revelation, Hell is no joke but it is real!People make jokes about hell. When God described it, He wasn’t jokingThink of the most horrifying awful thing you can think of and multiply by a billionSome say don’t use hell as a way to convince people to accept ChristI just want you to know the reality of your choiceNow, here is some good newsYou don’t have to spend an eternity in HellIn the beginning of the passage I read from Revelation, it mentioned a 2nd bookThe Book of LifeIf your name is found in that book, you will be spared the penalty for your sinsThis passage says “having believed you were sealed”That sealed, means you were written in the book of life and sealed in itYou can’t get scratched out of it.Those who were found in the book of life were not cast into the lake of fire.Those in the book of life are sealed in Him, meaning for all eternityThis means you will spend an eternity in Heaven with JesusToday, it all boils down to your choice. Only you can choose.
