Sent for a Purpose

 

“To the other towns also I must proclaim 

the good news of the Kingdom of God, 

because for this purpose I have been sent.” 

(Luke 4:43)

The whole world is bearing fruit and growing from the day you heard it and came to know the grace of God in truth (Col 1:6). 

God chose to make known the riches of the glory of this mystery; it is Christ in you, the hope for glory (Col 1:27). It is Him whom you proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that you may present everyone perfect in Christ. For this you labor and struggle, in accord with the exercise of His power working within you. (Col 1:28-29) This is the glory of all His faithful (Ps 149:9). 

You are a minister in accordance with God’s stewardship given to you to bring to completion the word of God (Col 1:25). Rejoice in your sufferings for their sake, and in your flesh you are filling up what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ on behalf of His Body, which is the Church (Col 1:24). That their hearts may be encouraged as they are brought together in love, to have all the richness of fully assured understanding, for the knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Col 2:2-3)

Love in the Spirit (Col 1:7). Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law Rom 13:18). The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law (Rom 13:9-10).

Trust in the Lord at all times! Pour out your hearts before Him; God is your refuge! (Ps 62:9) Like a green olive tree in the house of God, trust in the mercy of God forever and ever (Ps 52:10). Only in God be at rest, your soul, for from Him comes your hope. He only is your rock and your salvation, your stronghold; you shall not be disturbed. (Ps 62:6-7) 

I give thanks to You O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (Col 1:2). I will thank You always for what You have done, and proclaim the goodness of Your name before Your faithful ones. (Ps 52:11) Let the faithful exult in glory. Alleluia! (Ps 149:5)

JAMES 2:1

If a man with gold rings and fine clothes comes into your assembly, and a poor person in shabby clothes also comes in, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say, “Sit here, please,” while you say to the poor one, “Stand there,” or “Sit at my feet,” have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil designs? (Jas 2:2-4)

Jesus said, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?” Looking around at them all, He then said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so and his hand was restored. (Luke 6:9-10) “Have you not read what David did when he and those who were with him were hungry? How he went into the house of God, took the bread of offering, which only the priests could lawfully eat, ate of it, and shared it with his companions.” Then He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath.” (Lk 6:3-5)

Did not God choose those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He promised to those who love Him? (Jas 2:5) You are inflated with pride. Your boasting is not appropriate. (1 Cor 5:2,6). Learn not to go beyond what is written, so that none of you will be inflated with pride (1 Cor 4:6). Clear out the old so that you may become fresh (1 Cor 5:7). Celebrate the feast, not with the old yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (1 Cor 5:8).

The Lord keeps all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy (Ps 145:20). The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him, He hears their cry and saves them. (Ps 145:18-19)

Lord Jesus, I know who You are—the Holy One of God! (Lk 4:34).  You, O God, delight not in wickedness; no evil man remains with You; the arrogant may not stand in Your sight. You hate all evildoers. You destroy all who speak falsehood; the bloodthirsty and the deceitful the Lord abhors. (Ps 5:5-7) But let all who take refuge in You be glad and exult forever. Protect them, that You may be the joy of those who love Your name. (Ps 5:12).

Be Generous as the Lord is Generous

Everyone who has given up houses 

or brothers or sisters or father or mother 

or children or lands for the sake of my name 

will receive a hundred times more, 

and will inherit eternal life. 

(Matthew 19:29)

Jesus said: “Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” (Mt. 19:23-23)

Today is the day when the Lord shall set you out to be with Him as His champion (Jgs 6:12). Be calm, do not fear (Jgs 6:23). You have found favor with God. He gives you a sign that He is speaking with you (Jgs 6:17). 

The Lord said, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all, that they may know I am with you (Jos 3:7). Go with the strength you have. It is I who send you.” (Jgs 6:14). You may be the most lowliest and insignificant but I shall be with you and will enable you to win the battle (Jgs 6:15). "Many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.” (Mt 19:30)

The Lord your God will Himself  look after you and tend to all your needs (Ez 34:11). In Him, you shall not lack anything but will have everything. “For men this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.” (Mt 19:26)

Do the same to all those whom the Lord has brought to you and placed under your care. Set your heart on what you can give and not on what you can take from them (Ez 34:2-3). Strengthen the weak, heal the sick, bind up the injured. Bring back the strayed and seek the lost. Do not lord it over them but instead love and take care of them as your own.  (Ez 34:4)

It is not the time spent for work that matters but the productivity and fruitfulness of your laborers. When it comes to their pay, give them what is just. You are free to do as you wish with your own money. Be generous as the Lord is generous with you beginning with the last and ending with the first. (Mt. 20:13-16)

Jesus Leads You Up A High Mountain

PATIO IMPROVEMENT

Jesus took Peter, James, and John and 

led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. 

And he was transfigured before them, 

and his clothes became dazzling white, 

such as no fuller on earth could bleach them. 

(Mark 9:2-3)

As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, “Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”  (Matthew 9:9).

In the visions of God He brought me into the land and set me on a very high mountain, and on it to the south there was a structure like a city (Ezekiel 40:2). And it will come about in the last days that the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains. It will be raised above the hills, and the peoples will stream to it.(Micah 4:1).

Many nations will come and say, “Come and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD and to the house of the God, that He may teach us about His ways and that we may walk in His paths.” (Micah 4:2)

“For on My holy mountain, on the high mountainl,” declares the Lord GOD, “there the whole house , all of them, will serve Me in the land; there I will accept them and there I will seek your contributions and the choicest of your gifts, with all your holy things.(Ezekiel 20:40). On the high mountain I will plant it, that it may bring forth boughs and bear fruit and become a stately cedar. And birds of every kind will nest under it; they will nest in the shade of its branches" (Ezekiel 17:23). I will feed them in a good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and feed in rich pasture (Ezekiel 34:14). In that day you will feel no shame because of all your deeds by which you have rebelled against Me; For then I will remove from your midst your proud, exulting ones, and you will never again be haughty an My holy mountain". (Zephaniah 3:11)

You will bring them and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, the place, O LORD, which You have made for Your dwelling, the sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established (Exodus 15:17).

Why spend your money for what is not bread; 

your wages for what fails to satisfy? 

Heed me, and you shall eat well, 

you shall delight in rich fare. 

(Isaiah 55:2)

One who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor one who loves abundance with its income. This too is futility. (Ecclesiastes 5:10). People will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy (2 Timothy 3:2). For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs (1 Timothy 6:10).

You have sown much, only to harvest little; you eat, but there is not enough to be satisfied; you drink, but there is not enough to become drunk; you put on clothing, but there is not enough for anyone to get warm; and the one who earns, earns wages to put into a money bag full of holes (Haggai 1:6).

The LORD says: “You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.” (Isaiah 52:3). You there! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. (Isaiah 55:1)

Jesus said, “Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor does a moth destroy (Luke 12:33).

The overseer must be beyond reproach as God's steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not overindulging in wine, not a bully, not greedy for money (Titus 1:7). Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever abandon you" (Hebrews 13:5).

Jesus said to them, 

“I am the bread of life; 

whoever comes to me will never hunger, 

and whoever believes in me will never thirst.” 

(John 6:35)

The Lord said, “I will now rain down bread from heaven for you. Each day the people are to go out and gather their daily portion; thus will I test them, to see whether they follow my instructions or not" (Exodus 16:4). In the evening twilight you shall eat flesh, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread, so that you may know that I, the Lord, am your God” (Exodus 16:12). 

This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat (Exodus 16:15). He commanded the skies above and the doors of heaven He opened; He rained manna upon them for food and gave them heavenly bread. Man ate the bread of angels, food He sent them in abundance. (Psalm 78:23-25)

Jesus said, “Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him the Father, God, has set His seal. This is the work of God, that you believe in the one He sent. (John 6:27-28) Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for Me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled”  (John 6:26).

So they said to Him, “What sign can You do, that we may see and believe in You? What can You do? Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.” So Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. (John 6:30-32)

Turn Back

PATIO IMPROVEMENT

July 31, 2026

Perhaps they will listen and turn back, 

each from his evil way, so that I 

may repent of the evil I have planned 

to inflict upon them for their evil deeds. 

(Jeremiah 26:3)

The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has performed and carried out the purposes of His heart; in the last days you will clearly understand it (Jereremiah 23:20, 30:24).

The LORD warned through all His prophets and every seer, saying, “Turn back from your evil ways and keep My commandments and My statutes in accordance with all the Law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets” (2 Kings 17:13).

This is what the LORD says: “Behold, I am forming a disaster against you and devising a plan against you. Now turn back, each of you from his evil way, and correct your ways and your deeds!” (Jeremiah 18:11)

“Say to them, ‘As I live!' declares the Lord GOD, ‘I take no pleasure at all in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then should you die?' (Ezekiel 33:11)

God sent John to turn many back to the Lord their God. And it is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of fathers back to their children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” (Luke 1:16-17).

Now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles, to which you want to be enslaved all over again? (Galatians 4:9)

I will hear what God the LORD will say; For He will speak peace to His people, to His godly ones; and may they not turn back to foolishness (Psalm 85:5).

The Old and the New

“Then every scribe who has been instructed in the Kingdom of heaven 

is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom 

both the new and the old.” - 

MATTHEW 13 : 52

"People do not put new wine into old wineskins. otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined. Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.” (Matthew 9:17)

We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life (Romans 6:4). So whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Jesus and Sirach: "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions” (Matthew 6:12, 14-15). Forgive your neighbor the wrong he has done, and then your sins will be pardoned when you pray (Sirach 28:2).

Acts and Psalms: We ourselves are proclaiming this good news to you that what God promised our fathers he has brought to fulfillment for us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second psalm, You are my son; this day I have begotten you (Acts 13:32-33). I will proclaim the decree of the Lord: The Lord said to me, “You are my Son; this day I have begotten you” (Psalm 2:7).

1 Peter and Isaiah: He Himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross, so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you had gone astray like sheep, but you have now returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls. (1 Peter 2:24-25) It was our infirmities that He bore, our sufferings that He endured, while we thought of Him as stricken, as one smitten by God and afflicted. But He was pierced for our offenses, crushed for our sins, upon Him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by His stripes we were healed. We had all gone astray like sheep, each following his own way; but the Lord laid upon him the guilt of us all. (Isaiah 53:4-6)

Buy and Sell

 

PATIO IMPROVEMENT

Jesus said to his disciples: 

“The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, 

which a person finds and hides again, 

and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." 

(Matthew 13:36-43)

Buy means to acquire the possession of, or the right to, by paying or promising to pay an equivalent, especially in money; purchase, to acquire by exchange or concession. The word originated before 1000; Middle English byen, variant of byggen, buggen, Old English bycgan; cognate with Old Saxon buggjan,Gothic bugjan to buy, Old Norse byggja to lend, rent (Dictionary.com)

Sell means to transfer (goods) to or render (services) for another in exchange for money; dispose of to a purchaser for a price, to deal in; keep or offer for sale. First recorded before 900; Middle English sellen, Old English sellan, originally, “to give,” hence, “to give up (someone) to an enemy, betray, exchange for money”; cognate with Old Norse selja, Low German sellen, Gothic saljan “to give up, sell,” originally, “to cause to take”; akin to Greek heleîn “to take, grasp” (Dictionary.com)

Buy/Sell means the act of exchanging an asset for money or vice versa. Buying is acquiring an asset in exchange for money, while selling is giving away an asset to receive money. Buying and selling can be done for various reasons, such as hoping to make a profit, avoiding a loss, or satisfying a need. (embibe.com, capital.com)

My son, keep My words and treasure My commandments within you (Proverbs 7:11). Buy truth, and do not sell it, get wisdom, instruction, and understanding (Proverbs 23:23). He will be the stability of your times, a wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; The fear of the LORD is His treasure (Isaiah 33:6).

Jesus said, "for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21). The good person brings out of his good treasure good things (Matthew 12:35). If you want to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me (Matthew 19:21). A disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure new things and old” (Matthew 13:52).

"Ask, and it will be given to you; 

seek, and you will find; 

knock, and it will be opened to you."

(Matthew 7:7 ; Luke 11:9)

Seek means to go in search or quest of (to seek the truth), to try to find or discover by searching or questioning (to seek the solution to a problem). First recorded before 900; Middle English seken, Old English sēcan; cognate with German suchen, Old Norse sœkja, Gothic sōkjan; akin to Latin sāgīre “to perceive by scent”. (Dictionary.com)

“Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you" (Mt 6:33).

Seek the LORD while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have mercy on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon (Isaiah 55:6-7). Look to the Lord in His strength; seek to serve Him constantly (Ps 105:4). 

The one who searches hearts knows what is the intention of the Spirit, because it intercedes for the holy ones according to God’s will (Rom 8:27).  Glory in His holy name; rejoice, O hearts that seek the Lord! (Ps 105:3). 

I sought the Lord, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears (Ps 34:5). I sought Him whom my heart loves (Song 3:1). 

O God, you are my God whom I seek; for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water (Ps 63:2). I am yours; save me, for I have sought your precepts (Ps 119:94).With all my heart I seek you; let me not stray from your commands (Ps 119:10).
