Sterling Full Gospel 10-2 Group July's Newsletter

Matthew 25:36-I was in prison and ye came unto me.

The letters that spell out the word “newsletter” are relevant to your relationship with the Lord. They are also letters that represent God’s everlasting love for humanity.

The first letter in the word “n.e.w.s.l.e.t.t.e.r” is n. This letter is representing the word need. As human beings, we have a need for a Savior. In the Bible, it says that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:9-13). The first e in the word newsletter will represent the word enemy. As follower of Jesus Christ, we have an enemy who would love to destroy us as believers (I Peter 5:8). We don’t have to live a defeated life. Reading the Bible is one of the weapons for defeating your enemy; spending time with your God in prayer and attending a church (on a regular basis) are also tools for the defeating your enemy. The next letter is w which will be represented by the word watch. Be careful how you live your life now that you are a believer. Be careful of old friends you hang out with, things you watch on TV or any media device. God’s plan for our lives does not coincide with our plans. (Luke 21:36). The letter s is representing the word sanctify. The word sanctify means (for a believer) to be set apart or to be holy. In the book of Joshua, the people of God were asked to sanctify themselves (Joshua 3:5). We are also told to be holy in the book of first Peter (I Peter 1:16). The letter l is representing the word lack. Remember, it is important that you learn to read and mediate on God’s holy word. This will help you to understand God and His plan for your life as a believer or a follower of Jesus Christ. In the Bible (Hosea 4:6) God says my people are destroyed for “lack” of knowledge. The second e will be for the word establish. God established His covenant with Abraham which includes us as Gentile believers (Genesis 17:7). God took away the first covenant and establish a second covenant through Jesus Christ and the work He did on the cross (Hebrew 8:8-13/ Hebrew 10:9-10). The first t is representing a small three letter word called “too”. In Genesis 18:14, it says,” Is there anything “too” hard for the Lord”? The answer is clearly no. When your world or life becomes overwhelming, remember God’s holy word. The second t will be representing the word trust. Put all your trust in God with your whole heart and He will give you a better path of life (Proverbs 3:5-6/Jeremiah 29:11). The last e in the word newsletter is for the word esteem. The word esteem means to respect and have admiration for one another. The Bible says to esteem others better than ourselves (Philippians 2:3). And last but certainly not least, the letter r is representing the word rich. God has many blessings for us as children of God. The blessings of the Lord also make us rich (Proverbs 10:22).

JOKE!!!

Dear God, I think you’d be proud of me! So far today I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped, lusted, lost my temper, or been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent. I’m very thankful for that. In a few minutes, though, I’m going to get out of bed. From then on I’m probably going to need a lot of help. Amen

In the book of Judges, how many men did Gideon use to deliver the children of Israel from the Midianites?
