Creighton Evans 720 Jesus goes to the gentile region of Tyre and Sidon...he tries to do so quietly without being notice. Of course, the word gets out and one woman knows his reputation for healing and deliverance comes and begs Jesus to free her daughter from an evil spirit. She intercedes on her daughter's behalf. Jesus is abrupt and even rude...but this woman shows two remarkable traits of true intercessory...she is humble and persists until Jesus grants her requests. Likewise, we should follow her example and intercede for others to come to the saving knowledge of Christ and remain humble, patience, and persistent until we see God's answer...do not become discouraged. God's time is not ours but it always right. http://www.sermoncloud.com/all-souls-church/the-call-to-intercessory-prayer-for-others http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2483/the-call-to-intercessory-prayer-for-others.mp3 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 20:32:18 GMT Fr.

It is God's truth pure and simple. We are told in Deut. 4:1-9 not to add to it or take any thing away from it...but over the centuries both has happened.

In the Old Testament Joshua put that question to the Israelites. In the New Testament, as Jesus teaches his disciples who He is and what that means, the teaching becomes too hard for some and they leave. Jesus asks the twelve if they too will leave as some have done. Throughout our life, God puts the question to us each day. Who will we serve? Who will we follow? We may believe we make these decisions in a vacuum but we don't. We are influenced by our fallen and sinful human flesh, the peer pressure of this world, and the enemy of God. We are in the midst of a great spiritual war and if we are not armored up and immersed in God's Word we will make bad choices with eternal consequences. http://www.sermoncloud.com/all-souls-church/choose-today-who-you-will-serve http://media.monkserve.com/EKK/2483/chose-today-who-you-will-serve.mp3 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 15:52:15 GMT Fr.
