The God of Second Chances
He leaves the 99 to go after the one.
Our God is the God of second chances!
We cannot out love, out forgive, or out run God. His love is relentless. Even though we may reject Him, run from Him, or turn our back on Him, He will still give us opportunity after opportunity to receive His free gift of salvation.
This week in our Women’s Bible Study, we learned in Revelation 7 that an innumerable amount of people will be saved in the Tribulation. So many will trust Jesus as their Lord and Savior that they will not be able to be counted! This encourages me for those that I’ve been sharing Jesus with and praying for for years. In the end, we can trust that God loves our loved ones more than we do, and He WILL NOT relent in His pursuit! He leaves the 99 to go after the one. Will you trust Jesus today that He has heard your prayer, watered the seed that you have scattered, and He WILL bring the harvest sooner or later. Don’t stop praying, planting, or watering while there is still time to be busy about your Father's business!

Fullness of Joy Christmas Dinner
A blessed 2 nights celebrating Jesus’ birth at our 1st Christmas Dinners in San Clemente!
We were so blessed to celebrate Jesus’ birth with 2 nights of Christmas Dinners at our new building in San Clemente! We Praise God for all He did for the many women who attended and the men who served. We hope you were blessed and that you left over-full of joy, knowing Jesus loves you. God bless you.
Enjoy these pictures from dinner and come back! We’ll be posting more here soon.
A Devoted People
Jesus wants a church full of devoted people.
When we’re bent on destruction, and God allows us to be caught, do we see it as from the Lord? When we’re messing around with the things of the world – a little compromise here, a little compromise there – and then we experience some repercussions from it, some heartache, some pain, do you see it as the Lord trying to lovingly get your attention? God does not want a church full of compromising people; the world is full of that. He wants a church full of devoted people. Loyal people. People whose hearts are undivided, set on Him alone.

A Prayerful Posture
Prayer is the key to anxiety.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:6-9
For all that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father but is of the world. 1 John 2:16
Prayer is the key to anxiety. As you pray, you get your eyes off your situation and onto the only ONE who can bring true peace. Peace that is unexplainable. Peace in the midst of the storm. Peace that will protect your mind and your heart! There is power in prayer! Try it – it works!!!

Temptation Vs. Testing
God doesn’t tempt us – the devil does. God tests us to see if our faith is genuine.
Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. James 1:13-15
God doesn’t tempt us – the devil does. God tests us to see if our faith is genuine. We are tempted when we are drawn away by our own desires. When we think about those desires, they can give birth to sin, and sin brings forth spiritual death. Testing brings fruit. Temptation brings death. Testing brings perseverance, character, and hope (James 1:3). Giving into temptation weakens our faith, ruins our witness, and leaves us hopeless. Be strong today. Turn from sin. Flee temptation, and you will become strong, steady, and usable.
