Pastor Jenkins message comes from Romans 10. His belief is we must hear the word of Yahweh, believe the word of Yahweh, and act on it. Only through this process of inviting and receiving Yahshua into our hearts will we see eternal life. As we know, eternal life involves Yahshua’s grace given us through His death on the Cross to redeem mankind from having to pay the ransom for living the way we want or just “doing it our own way.”
Yahshua came to Earth for the specific purpose of dying for our sins, and He didn’t exclude anyone. Therefore, it's up to each of us to decide whether or not we receive what He came to do. He didn’t have to do it, BUT HE DID. He saved us from the punishment we deserved for the life we live or have lived. So, don't worry about who is going up or coming down; worry about your own salvation and know/understanding the word of Yahweh.
There are some who say “I want to live my own life, you’ve lived yours.” If that is your position, you’re entitled to it, but before you go too far-- count the cost of what it means to reject the Only One Who can save your soul.
Yahweh’s word is the only sure foundation to stand on, so we encourage you to choose wisely.
Memory verse: Romans 8:10
Pastor Jenkins' message today brings us to Romans 10, where he shares more about our Savior Yahshua and Father Yahweh. Verses 10 and 11 of this chapter is where we find the answer to whether or not we are saved. "Saved" according to Yah's word is receiving salvation as a result of what our Savior Yahshua the Messiah has done for mankind when He died on the cross. One may ask, "what specifically did He do for me?" Well, those who have accepted Yahshua into our hearts know the price He paid for us when He gave His life -- even though He knew mankind's heart. So, we are forever grateful to Him and now our hearts are filled with praise and "its not my will, but Thy will be done in every area of my life."
But if you still are unsure about your salvation, turn to Romans 10 and read for yourself the witness recorded in this chapter focusing attention on verses 10 and 11. After reading these two verses, you will know without a doubt where you stand on this subject, "have you been born from above"?
Father Yah gave His Son Yahshua so we could answer this question from our heart and not our head.
Memory verse: Romans 10:13
Pastor Jenkins' focus today is Colossians 3, which shows us Yahshua's position in Heaven with His Father. It says we are to "seek those things which are above, where the Messiah sitteth on the right hand of Yahweh".
One may ask, how can I be sure I'm in right-standing with Yahshua and am following what He expects of me? We must align ourselves with the word of Yahweh, and put to death those things (actions) that are contrary to His word. If we love Yahweh and Yahshua, we should do all we know to live in obedience to His word.
As believers, we will abstain from certain behaviors/actions discussed in this message because they are in direct conflict with Yahweh's word. Do you know or even care about the life you're living? To think we can do what we want and repent later doesn't always work, because we don't know which day will be our last.
This message touches all of us-- husbands, wives, children, and employees/supervisors.
The question is are we living a life that brings glory to Yahweh or are we living to please ourselves?
Memory verse: Isaiah 53:11
A "certain woman, her two sons, and their faith" is what this story is about. We know when we hear the words "a certain" it's about someone, something or some place. So, pay close attention to this certain situation that this certain woman found herself.
Pastor Jenkin through 2nd Kings Chapter 4 shares with us that our impossibilities becomes possible with Yahweh on our side. But in so doing, we must stand in FAITH.
This woman was in a desperate situation and saw no way out. She had no money, no husband, and seemingly no way to get the money to repay the debt her deceased husband owed. So, what was she to do?
Well, let's follow Pastor as he unfolds for us how Yahweh worked it out for this woman and her two sons.
Father Yahweh and Yahshua are still in the miracle-working business. But we, too, must be about our business if we want our prayers answered.
Remember: miracles are still going on today as they were in the days of old, but in order for the blessings to help us in our situation, we cannot fail to act on the Word of Yahweh--even if it means standing alone with just you and Father Yahweh.
Faith only works when we join our faith to what our Heavenly Father tells us to do.
Pastor Jenkins today delivers this message from St. John 1 through the lens of creation, faith, and obedience to the Word of Yahweh.
We all have read and heard stories about creation, faith, and obedience, but did we fully comprehend all that was taking place?
We believe some do, while others are not so sure. It's for this most critical reason, we must continue to delve into the Bible through reading, believing and obeying (acting) on the Word of Yahweh.
Remember, the Bible tells us in 2nd Timothy 2:15 "to study to show ourselves approved unto Yahweh, a workman that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth".
So, if you are facing trials, challenges, or just going through dark days, why not listen and put into practice what the Bible tells us to do? In so doing, you will be lifted up and your heart open to receive from Yahweh. We have to do our part and obey the Word, and leave the rest to our Heavenly Father through His dear Son Yahshua, our Savior. The changes in our lives will be awesome and well worth waiting for! So, we invite you to "Try YAHSHUA"!
