Easter – Prayer and Praise

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment

During the Covid lockdowns, we began a monthly meeting at Sunshine Christian Village which we called, “Prayer and Praise”. Though most of the restrictions have been lifted, the villagers as well as some of those in Assisted living have continued to come. This past Saturday was our last meeting before Easter, so we sang all the Easter songs we love, in including this one, which happens to be my favorite. I hope that you might enjoy listening and recalling that because Jesus rose on that very first Easter, we who put our faith in Him have the wonderful hope of eternal life!

I was delighted to meet with my friends at Sunshine Christian Village last Saturday. We get together once a month in their activity center for an hour of prayer, praise and fellowship. Our get-together might not seem very important compared to the impact of a Sunday meeting at church with more than a thousand people, […]

Getting Ready for Easter — Walking With Lambs

In the Shadow of His Wings

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment 
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul 
and with all our mind and with all your strength. 
Mark 12:30 NIV
We Love the Lord with all our hearts
Where worries come with fears
And Love Him more with all our minds
When grief walks in with tears
Then love Him still with all our strength 
If weariness surrounds
For in Jesus we can rest
Where His real peace is found

And when in Christ our life is lost
Our soul lifts up and sings
To Him who offers joyful rest
In the shadow of His wings!

Quiet Sunday Thoughts- Selah

/ pastorpete51 / 3 Comments 
Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of Hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge. 
Selah. Psalm 46:10-11 NKJV

“Selah…The pause is not an exclamation of dismay, but merely a rest in music. We do not suspend our song in alarm, but tune our harps again with deliberation amid the tumult of the storm.” Charles Spurgeon

For our quiet Sunday thoughts I am sharing a song by Lindsay Brackin of Sounds Like Reign. We used to sing the words of this Psalm in church but I have not heard it for many years. I pray that you may find a moment of quiet stillness and a Selah in your busy schedule today. May the words of the Lord enlighten your eyes, make you wise in His service and convert your soul to rest in Him and trust in His word forever. Selah
