Pizza Ranch Serves

Jesus enjoyed people. Not everyone does, you know.

I’m writing this post on the first day of spring…although it certainly doesn’t feel like it! Yesterday, in my part of the US, we had a massive blizzard, and it feels like winter has lasted forever.

No one is too far from God’s plan and reach to not be used by Him.

In 1979, archaeologists discovered the original silver scrolls, which are believed to contain some of the earliest texts of the Book of Numbers in the Bible, dating back to the late 7th or early 6th century BCE. These scrolls are the oldest known original texts from the Hebrew Bible. They include the verses from Numbers 6:24-26, which read: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.”

What is the longest verse in the Bible?

Romans 12:9-13: 9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Reflecting on this past week, what do all our conversations have in common with one another?

Isn’t it interesting how Jesus is described as both the Good Shepherd and the Lamb of God?

Be silent. Be still. Alone, empty before your God. Say nothing, ask nothing.

Today we are doing our final look into Genesis 22:1-19. If you haven’t read the passage yet, or it has been a bit since you did, I recommend reading through these quick 19 verses one more time. The best part of this story by far, is how it foreshadows the greatest sacrifice ever made – Christ’s death on the cross!

Life can be very difficult at times and none of us would choose the difficulties. It’s during these times we question the “why”.

Does God show his power in big miracles or tiny moments? Is his majesty displayed in the Grand Canyon or the pile of ants on the sidewalk? How about the public speaker declaring a message from God versus a prayer offered in silence?
