    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Feb 13, 2025
     | 760 views

    This is a sermon to prompt us to look at our lives and determine if we are in line with where God would have us be. It begs the question of what standard or measure helps us to align with God's will in our life. (Please feel free to use my personal illustrations if you like)

    Aligned for the Kingdom Amos 7:7-9 Visual: Hold a plumb line in hand, letting it sway gently in the air. Ask, “Does this look straight to you?

    Jesus has finished everything for us. He sacrificed Himself so that we don't need to face punishment and we may have eternal life. When we accept Him, He would also love to transform our lives, to make our lives meaningful.

    "Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. When he had ...read more
