Come and Dine! – An Easter Message — Walking With Lambs

If you feel like you have been up all night fishing, without catching even a single one, you are in the same boat with the disciples. People who live in a nursing home, often wonder why God has allowed this to happen to them or if He has anything left for them to do. The good news of Easter and of today’s message is that no matter what has happened or how we feel, Jesus still has a job for us to do! I hope you enjoy this session recorded yesterday which includes the hymn, “Come and Dine!” Have a blessed weekend everybody!

Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. John 21:5-6 […]

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.

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, […]

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV

I asked my friends at Life Care Center this week to think about what the greatest miracle in the Bible was. Was it the Red Sea crossing, multiplying Bread or raising Lazarus from the dead? Now those are amazing, but the foundation of our entire faith is based on the miracle of Easter morning. And yet for me, the greatest miracle of all is not just that Jesus came, died and rose from the dead. The miracle is that He loved me and gave Himself for me. Why would He do that? Why would He even be interested, much less willing to die in my place? The love of God is both the greatest mystery and the greatest miracle, and this is my testimony of how I found Him, or rather, of how He found me.
