"Above The Crowd" - A message based on a chief tax collector and his encounter with Jesus at Faith Covenant Fellowship in Monticello Indiana. Luke 19:1-10 19 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. 5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. 7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” 8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” #christianity #preaching #teaching

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. - Matthew 6:6 (originally filmed in January 2018) #biblereading #prayer #prayerwarrior

In a chat box powered by artificial intelligence, I typed in: "write a short sermon on end times" and this is what it came back with. 🤖 - - - - - - - - - - Dear friends, As believers, it is important for us to be prepared for the end times, for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that no one knows exactly the day or hour of his return, but we can be certain that it will happen. In Matthew 24, Jesus gives us signs to look for that will indicate his return is near. These include wars and rumors of wars, natural disasters, and persecution of believers. While we may see these things happening in the world around us, we must not be afraid. Jesus has overcome the world, and he has promised to be with us always, even to the end of the age. In the end times, we must remain faithful and obedient to God's word. We must continue to spread the good news of the gospel and make disciples of all nations. And above all, we must trust in God's perfect plan and know that he is in control. So let us be ready and watchful, knowing that the end times are coming, but also that our hope and salvation is in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen. - - - - - - - - - - 🤖 Disclaimer: what I share with you is auto-generated. By no means should this use of this technology ever replace the Word of God and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

This was my first time ever cooking outdoors with my new cast iron skillet. Chilling by the campfire, reading the Word, talking about the Lord, and eating some breakfast food. #campfirecooking #breakfast #bushcraft

Bushcraft newbie using a fire starter for the first time. Chilling by the campfire, talking about the Lord, and making some hot tea in a campfire kettle. Bushcrap?! 😅 Referenced scripture: (2 Timothy 1:5-6) 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. 6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
