Sunday---Precious Promises

"This God is our God forever and ever; he will lead us for all time to come."

Psalms 48:14, Good News Bible

Sunday---Precious Promises

Dear Friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God.  Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God.  Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.  And God showed his love for us by sending his only Son into the world, so that we might have life through him.  This is what love is:  it is not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.

1 John 4:7-10, Good News Bible

Sunday--Precious Promises

Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared.  They found the stone rolled away from the entrance to the tomb, so they went in; but they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.  They stood there puzzled about this, when suddenly two men in bright shining clothes stood by them.  Full of fear, the women bowed down to the ground, as the men said to them.  "Why are you looking among the dead for the one who is alive:  He is not here; he has been raised.  Remember Galilee:  'The Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, be crucified, and three days later rise to life.,' "

Luke 24: 1-7, Good News Bible

Sunday---Precious Promises

Finally, build up your strength in union with the Lord and by means of his mighty power.  Put on all the armor that God gives you, so that you will be able to stand up against the Devil's evil tricks.  For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age.  So put on God's armor now!  Then when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist the enemy's attacks; and after fighting to the end, you will still hold your ground.
So stand ready, with truth as a belt tight around your waist, with righteousness as your breastplate, and as your shoes the readiness to announce the Good News of peace.  at all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the Evil One.  And accept salvation as a helmet and the word of God as the sword which the spirit gives you.  Do all this in prayer asking for God's help.  Pray on every occasion, as the Spirit leads.  For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for all God's people.

Ephesians 6: 10-18, Good News Bible

Sunday---Precious Promises

Do not judge others, so that God will not judge you, for God will judge you in the same way you judge others, and he will apply to you the same rules you apply to others.  Why then do you look at the speck in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the log in your eye?  How dare you say to your brother 'Please let me take that speck out of your eye' when you have a log in your own eye? You hypocrite!  First take the log out of your own eye and then you will be able to see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

Matthew 7: 1-5, Good News Bible
