He has Risen...INDEED!!!

EASTER SUNDAY!!  

Pastor Ron Molina  04.08.12

What would the world be like IF Jesus wouldn't have risen from the dead?!

...because He HAS risen,

we know the Bible is true and our sins are forgiven!!

1 Corinthians 15:1-3

Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. ² By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. ³ For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance^[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures...

                                                                   1 Corinthians 15:14-19

¹⁴ And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. ¹⁵ More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. ¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. ¹⁷ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. ¹⁸ Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. ¹⁹ If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.

Our receipt...Romans 6:23

²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

How great is the forgiveness from GOD?!

It is GREAT!!!!

Do you ask yourself...

where am I right now with the LORD?

...Because HE lives...there is hope!! 

Easter Sunday!

Today...is EASTER!

I love Easter and what it means...the story, and how the Bible tells us about the journey of Jesus...from His birth to this day in history when He arose! Wow, wrap your mind around that!! Our Lord is an Awesome Lord...there is nothing He can't do! Have Faith, grow in your Faith!

Enjoy your day! Happy Easter!!

Calling All Disciples!

"It is good to be together!"

Hebrews 10:19,24-25
Hebrews  1:3,6

GOD is in the business of Changing lives!!

HE is a rewarder of those who Diligently Seek HIM !!!

Our Insignificance ...

is important to us...but, more important to GOD!

GOD loves us all...even sinners!

GOD uses our personalities to reach people with His Word!

~Message from o3.26.12   Pastor Ron Molina~

Scripture reading;
Mark 1:16-20
Luke 5:1-9

 Astonished...
at the "Miracle of Life" that GOD gave to someone who fell 30 feet from a tree branch...this person's witness of events will have an impact on others! GOD's Plan!!!

Be Fishers Of Men

HE is in all things...

there is nothing that HE can't do!!

It is important to us to learn the WORD of GOD...

grass withers, flowers fade, but GOD's WORD is forever!!

Mark 1:14-20

¹⁴ Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom^[e] of God, ¹⁵ and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”

 ¹⁶ And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. ¹⁷ Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” ¹⁸ They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

 ¹⁹ When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets. ²⁰ And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.

And how can we become Fishers Of Men if we don't know the

WORD of GOD?!?!

PSALMS 143

Hear my prayer, O Lord,
Give ear to my supplications!
In Your faithfulness answer me,
And in Your righteousness.
² Do not enter into judgment with Your servant,
For in Your sight no one living is righteous.

³ For the enemy has persecuted my soul;
He has crushed my life to the ground;
He has made me dwell in darkness,
Like those who have long been dead.
⁴ Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
My heart within me is distressed.

⁵ I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your works;
I muse on the work of Your hands.
⁶ I spread out my hands to You;
My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah

⁷ Answer me speedily, O Lord;
My spirit fails!
Do not hide Your face from me,
Lest I be like those who go down into the pit.
⁸ Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You.

⁹ Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies;
In You I take shelter.^[a]
10 Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Your Spirit is good.
Lead me in the land of uprightness.

¹¹ Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake!

For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.

¹² In Your mercy cut off my enemies,

And destroy all those who afflict my soul;

For I am Your servant.

Sermon  by Pastor Ron Molina 03.18.12

You must be able to tell others what Christ has done for you, before you can attempt to tell them what He can do for them. Pastor Bill

feeling tempted?

Just from your home (and really, it doesn’t matter where you live) to the nearest mall, how many times do you see a sign, a billboard, some kind of advertisement trying to entice us to do things that we know in our hearts are very wrong. I see advertisements for gambling at the casinos, beer and whiskey, adult stores and clubs, go into debt and buy a new car…and the list goes on! And don’t forget our access to the internet and some of the people we chose to be around and all the other things in life that peeks our temptation bone!

Pastor Molina reminds us that at times, we may feel

“it is easier to relieve ourselves and give into temptations”

than to walk away from them.

So, I guess the question for us today is;

How precious is the WORD of GOD to us?!

We know from reading scripture that no one has been tempted like Jesus was…

Matthew 4:1-11

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,

and they will lift you up in their hands,

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”

7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only. 11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

 The attack of the enemy is ALWAYS a lie!

Don’t give into temptation…

Read GOD’s WORD, be strong in your Faith,

‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only’

Hebrews 4:15

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way,
just as we are—yet he did not sin.

A new Season!

Seams everything in our lives has a season...
...and a new season is here for the Church in the Wildwood!

Pastor Ron Molina has been a guest Pastor for us many times, and we have all enjoyed and learned from his sermons, so, while it it sad to say good-by to Kurt Cherry as our Pastor, it is exciting to let everyone know that February 26th, 2012 was Pastor Ron Molina's first Sunday as the new Pastor of the Church in the Wildwood! We are very blessed that Ron and his family have joined us!

With spring in the air, it really does seem like a new season, so it was a fitting message that Pastor Molina brought to us on his first Sunday...

The Sower...
Luke 8:4-16
   Sower...Jesus
   Path...us
   Seed...the Word of God
   Soil...our hearts

The conditioning of our hearts will make all the difference in the seed taking root and bearing fruit!
An honest heart will root the seed deep and will bear fruit with patience. Spend time in the word and prepare our hearts like we would our gardens and green houses...grow that seed!! Don't let the devil pluck God's Word from our hearts!!

Scripture reference;
Hebrews 4:12
Isaiah 48:
Psalm 119:
Galatians 5:19

Make sure our lamp stand is on to keep and share His Word!!

Jesus!!

Remeber the reason for the season! What a gift we have this morning!
The gift of life!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
