Last year, I wrote a curriculum for our 2nd-4th grade classes at our mid-week program at church called Hide N Seek.  The curriculum focused on who God is. As part of that curriculum, my friend Brittni Rhodes, made images to convey the truth about who God is.  I would like to start sharing these images weekly as a reminder of the good, great, and awesome God we have.

We often forget.  We see throughout history the Israelites and the church forgetting. We need to be reminded often of who God is in Scripture, church history and in our lives and churches. The names of God are important because these names are not just what God does, it is who He is.  I hope this will encourage you as you are reminded of how good, great, and awesome our God is. Immanuel Immanuel means God with us. 23   “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,      and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). (Matthew 1:23) What it reminds me?  God is with me always.  This used to cause fear because I believed God knew all of sins and was wanting to punish me.  Now, it a great assurance because I know God is for me and cares about me because of what Jesus accomplished on the cross.  He is with me empowering me to love Him and others.  You are never alone

This is a new feature replacing "Playing on the Radio", but will be similar because it will include music.  I will be sharing songs from my "Gospel Playlist" on my phone. The gospel is good news.  It reminds us what Christ has DONE for us.  As I share, I hope it will be an encouragement to you today.  Song today is:  God With Us by All Sons and Daughters

I love this new song by Blanca called "Greater Is He."  It reminds us that no matter what we face, we have a God that is with us and greater than all things.  It is another song recently released based on 1 John 4:4 which says " 4  You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." I face a giant In over my head Help me to look up I take a deep breath And take the next step Though I may be weak I know who is with me [Chorus:] And greater is He living in me Than he who is in the world Whatever may come, His strength is enough My heart is at peace, for greater is He I face an ocean The waves are raging Help me to look up You’ll do what I can’t And I’ll walk on dry land I’ll step out on the sea ‘Cause I know who is with me [Chorus] And in His name, giants will fall And in His name, oceans will part And in His name, there’s nothing we won’t overcome This is ou...

Here's another song playing on the radio reminding us of who God is and how we are empowered by the Holy Spirit. What good news! I can see Waters raging at my feet I can feel The breath of those surrounding me I can hear The sound of nations rising up We will not be overtaken We will not be overcome I can walk Down this dark and painful road I can face Every fear of the unknown I can hear All God’s children singing out We will not be overtaken We will not be overcome The same power that rose Jesus from the grave The same power that commands the dead to wake Lives in us, lives in us The same power that moves mountains when He speaks The same power that can calm a raging sea Lives in us, lives in us He lives in us, lives in us We have hope That His promises are true In His strength There is nothing we can’t do Yes, we know There are greater things in store We will not be overtaken We will not be overcome Greater is He that is living in me He’s ...

I have posted this song before, but we sang it at church Sunday and I love the words.  Be reminded of Emmanuel during this Christmas season. It is not just words to sing, but truth to understand and be reminded. Disclaimer: This is great to use at Christmas but can also be sung throughout the year.

I know Christmas is over, but we sang this song every week during Advent.  What a great reminder of Emmanuel-God With Us!

Here is a verse that has been shared often in our home lately.  I hope it will be a reminder to you that you don't need to be afraid about whatever you are facing.  10  So do not fear, for I am with you;      do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you;      I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.  This passage from Isaiah 41:10 gives us several promises: God is with us God is our God He will strengthen and help us He will uphold us  Trust in these promises of God as you go through your day today!
