Brother Jasper Barnett presented a picture of the Lord Jesus from the Gospel of John as One who always did the will of His Father. As we contemplate Him, we can be encouraged to live our lives with that same sense of purpose and devotion.

Brother Viv John turned our eyes to Jesus with this message of encouragement, reminding us to allow the Lord Jesus to fill our vision. When He does, we can be confident that "the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace."

During his visit to Lake Worth, Brother Viv John (aka "Grandpa," now that his granddaughter Julia Grace has been born!) shared with us three questions from the Lord to our hearts: "Do you believe I am able?" "Do you understand how much I love you?" "Do you love me more than these?"

Visiting Brothers Basem Solomon from New Zealand and Ruell Clarke from Jamaican shared the pulpit Sunday morning, encouraging us all to serve the Lord in our present experience, looking forward to meeting Him face to face one day.

Brother Laurel Smalling took us to Genesis, Chapter 3, to consider some of the questions we find there. While the first question comes from the enemy and is meant to lead us away from God, the Lord Himself questions Adam and Eve in an attempt to reestablish a relationship with them. The same two patterns hold true for us today.

During the Lord's Day ministry meeting, Brother Collin Beckford shared an encouraging word from 1 Corinthians 15 about the Lord Jesus's work as the "last Adam" in conquering sin and ushering in our future glory with Himself.

Brother Viv John took us to the story of David and Mephibosheth in order to encourage us all to ask the Lord how we might show someone in our circle the kindness of the Lord. As we seek to become more "interested, informed, and involved," may God get the ultimate glory through our acts of kindness.

In light of the recent tragedy at a local high school, Brother Richard Ledgister shared a message on the problem of evil. As we wrestle with the difficult question of why bad things happen in our world, we must remain close to the Lord and His Word. This will enable us to live in the tension of living temporarily in the presence of evil.

Brother Richard Ledgister spoke to us from Chapter One of the book of James on this past Lord's Day, encouraging us to seek to be the type of mature believer James refers to as "the perfect man" as we pass through discouraging times and temptations.
