THE LIVING GOD #SATISFIES
This time of the year, our thoughts turn to a delicious meal that satisfies our taste palette. What is your favorite dish during the holidays? Is it sweet or savory? Do you get a sugar rush or prefer the meat and potatoes? How long does that satisfaction last for you? I can remember my mother cooking weeks ahead for all the family gatherings at our home. She would always ask me what was my favorite and I had the same answer year after year…”I love the fresh fruit salad” Now she spent hours cooking the casseroles, turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, hot yeast rolls, pies and cakes which were all deliciously satisfying to the adults, but I just wanted to rush outside to play ball with my cousins. The most gratifying part of the holiday experience for me was fellowship with my family. Do you have an eternal family? Are you satisfied this season? “This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: He forgives all your iniquities;….. redeems your life from destruction and crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies; LORD SATISFIES your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. The LORD executes righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.” Ps.102, 103 During my formative years, our church family would sing, “I am satisfied, I am satisfied, I am satisfied with Jesus; but the question comes to me, ‘Is my SAVIOR SATISFIED WITH ME?” PS.91:14-16 “Because you set your love upon Me, I will deliver you: I will set you on high because you have known my name. Call on Me, and I will answer: I will be with you in trouble; I will deliver and honor you with long life I WILL SATISFY YOU and show you My SALVATION” ...Jeremiah31:14 “My people shall be SATISFIED with My goodness, declares the LORD”

Try Thanksgiving
19871122pm Try Thanksgiving - Rev. Tommy Jones
As we approach a truly American holiday this week, #Thanksgiving, there is a lesson in it for the whole world. How do I know that it applies to the whole world? Because it is in God’s Word to humanity, the Bible. “In everything, give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” I Thessalonians 5:18 What is it about human nature that makes us ungrateful? How is ingratitude a negative feedback loop? How do we get out of it? Why should we make a conscious attempt to be thankful? Who does it help? Is there a right and a wrong way to be thankful?

THE LIVING GOD #BREAD
Thanksgiving conjures up many thoughts of food such as turkey, bread stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Each year there seems to be new food recipes with various spices, herbs, and alternate preparations for tasty meals. While watching the food channels, I have observed many new ways to prepare delicious dishes; however, my family likes the same bread stuffing year after year. Bread is the staff of life and I am especially thankful this year to have been enlightened by Jonathan Cahn to Hebrew words and their meanings. The word for house is beit and bread is lechem. The place of Jesus, Messiah’s birth is Bethlehem (Beit lechem – the House of Bread) Jesus says in John 6? “My Father gives you the true bread from heaven…I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE; the one that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on Me shall never thirst…….he that believes on Me has everlasting life. I AM THAT BREAD OF LIFE. ” Matt.6:11 “Give us this day our DAILY BREAD”

The Magnetism of Jesus
19830731 The Magnetism Of Jesus - Rev. Tommy Jones
What or who can make us see beyond #self? #Jesus made startling claims while He was here on Earth. How could He back up all of theses statements? Did His followers impress people? Did His geographical location make anybody pay attention? Was a long life something to which He could look forward? Without His death and resurrection there would have been no consequence to His ministry and no forgiveness of sin. What did Jesus mean when He said that He would draw all men to Himself?
