Dear fellow Christian’s, be strengthened and lean upon the rock, our stronghold and steadfast Lord Jesus Christ. Remember, He’s where we draw our strength from in our times of doubt, discouragement, or help. Not the world, but the One who made it. Keep your focus on Him.

Ephesians 2:13 NLT - 13 But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.

[Jon D. Barrett @jon_d_barrett]

but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, (1 Peter 3:15, ESV)

and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel." (Mark 1:15, ESV)

[Jon D. Barrett @jon_d_barrett]

Know Jesus, His Father, and where He is! Truly, honestly, and genuinely we must know these things. Read John 7:25-36. Even many who call themselves believers today, simply don’t. Don’t be in that number. God bless!

[Jon D. Barrett @jon_d_barrett]

May these verses be encouraging to you in 2025. God bless!

Love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride. Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the LORD! (Psalms 31:23-24, ESV)

[Jon D. Barrett @jon_d_barrett]

Merry Christmas to you all and Jesus is the greatest gift of all! Have a blessed Christmas day!

Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel." (Mark 1:14-15, ESV)

Sunday is the best day of the week because we celebrate the risen Christ of the cross in the local church, the dearest place on earth.

-C.J. Mahaney

Yes and amen! It’s the dearest place where I’d rather be.

Proverbs 9:10-11 CSB - 10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 For by me your days will be many,
and years will be added to your life.

[Leonard Ravenhill @ravenhillquotes]

I think the most amazing thing — and disgusting thing — in the life of Christ was that morning when He woke up from the Resurrection and there wasn’t a single person there to meet Him! He told them over and over again: “I'm going to rise from the dead,” but they just ignored Him.

[Burk Parsons @BurkParsons]

You can't love Jesus and divorce yourself from his bride. If you truly love Jesus, you'll love his church and love to worship with the church.

[Jon D. Barrett @jon_d_barrett]

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! The only name that saves. The matchless and mighty name of the Lord most high.
