God PromisedThe providential weaving of God's hand into the life story of Joseph and Mary and the Holdens and the faith family at Briggs Chapel.It started with a message, some bible study material, and a gift, some 15 years ago, given to the members of Briggs Chapel that blossomed into a providential work shared with you today. And it revolves around a promise Giver and Keeper. God promised a Son God promised a Savior God promised a Salvation God promised a Shepherd and KingTelling Our Story — ChristmasMy story...

The testimony and teachings that support an authentic witness in the Bible are as follows: The evidence of His presence and witness in the life of His disciples. Their Testimonies are that:1. They REST on a CURRENT Lifestyle. They don't have to look back to what they did… but their witness rests upon a current lifestyle of faith.

Unforgettable God MomentsWe explore the roots of Matthew 4 and the light of Isaiah's prophecies of a light that was to come to Galilee of the Gentiles.

Who Are We In This Scenario?We connect with one more than the other…I've been thinking about the different people mentioned in Matthew 2. Like Herod, the wisemen and the priest. The more I ponder them I we see several groups that relate to people in our day. We, one way or another, fall into one of these groups of people. In Matthew 2 we find Herod, the wise men, the people and the priests.Take a few minutes and consider each one and be honest with yourself and the Lord. May He speak and help you and those you love.#nestingwithjesus #matthew #matthew2 #matthew3 #herod #leaven #luke #gospel #lightrevealed #lightreceived #josephandmary #herodthegreat #magi #wisemen #people #priest #snub #stress #seek #standagainst #gentiles #howaboutyou #leaven #leavenofherod #howdowerespond #whoareweinthisscenario

What They Did with the Light…You can always count on God to send you the light needed… when you're operating in the light He's already given.Light that's revealed is revealed to be received — in faith and acted upon — in obedience.Take a minute and examine each of the following as they are spoken of in Matthew 1-3 and see how they replied to the light they were given. Some received the light they had but each step of faith and obedience led them to more light. But the light that was sneered and snubbed only led to more darkness.Some of the people to observe:Joseph and MaryHerodWise MenScribesPriestAngelsPeople of JerusalemJohn the BaptistYou'll relate to one or two more than the others.For a little extra help I shared to teachings on these thoughts… Light that's Revealed is Revealed to be Received Light that's Received is Received to be Revered Light that's Revered is Revered to be Reused Light that's Reused is Reused to be Repeated Light that's Repeated is Repeated to be Remembered Light that's Remembered is Remembered to be RELEASEDLight that's RELEASED IS RELEASED To Be REVEALEDYou can always count on God to send you the light you need, when you're operating in the light He's already given you.#nestingwithjesus #matthew1 #matthew2 #matthew3 #herod #leaven #luke #gospel #lightrevealed #lightreceived #josephandmary #herodthegreat #magi #wisemen #people #priest #snub #stress #seek #standagainst #gentiles #howaboutyou #leaven #leavenofherod #howdowerespond #whoareweinthisscenario
