The Lesson of the Cucumber Tulip

I want to share a story with you that I heard this past Sunday. Actually, it was the ‘rest of the story’ that was shared after the service by our guest speaker, Bud. During the sermon, he told how he and his wife had stopped at a house while on a walk to check out a somewhat rare Cucumber Tulip tree. The owner of the tree eagerly talked about it and about his life, but it wasn’t until after chu ..More

Never Too Late for God
No matter what has happened in your past or what pain you have endured, the Lord has been and will always be with you. Look at Joseph´s life. In Genesis 50:20, Joseph, second in command in Egypt, tells his brothers, "You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good." His brothers plotted to kill him, then decided to sell him into slavery. Later in Egypt, he was falsely accused of assault and spent two years in jail.

Because he successfully interpreted pharaoh´s dream about seven years of plentiful harvest followed by seven years of famine, Joseph was elevated to Egypt´s prime minister. He helped Egypt and the region survive a devastating famine.

Remember, someone else´s action against you is not the bottom line. God can still redirect your life to reflect His glory. His hope will sustain you as you move forward in life. It´s never too late for God!

Did this story speak to you? Is God a part of your life? If God's not a part of your life, or you're not sure He is, you can make sure right now. We believe that God sent his son Jesus Christ to come to earth to live as a man. We believe that everyone has sinned and no one is perfect. We believe Jesus willingly went to the cross to die for all of us to forgive our sins.

We believe that the way to heaven is not through being a good person or through doing good deeds, but a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. You can have that today by praying this simple prayer: God, I've messed up and have sinned against you. Please forgive me. I need you in my life. I believe that Jesus died on the cross to take the punishment of my sins and that you forgive me of all of my sins because of what Jesus did. Lord, I ask now that you fill me with your spirit and help me to live a life for you. Amen.
