Pastor Larry has always been able to express the love of God to those who have a need to know.

Notes:

A gracious and loving God… The prayer of faith shall save the sick (Ps 103)… Forget not all His benefits, forgives all your iniquity, heals all your diseases, redeems our life from the pit, and crowns us with steadfast love and mercy… unconditional love… a mercy that will never fade… implies the faithfulness of God; nothing can ever separate you from God’s love.

This is good news to the oppressed, poor, marginalized, overlooked people. Ex: Rich man & Lazarus (the name means “spit upon”). The dogs had more compassion on him than the rich man. Notice the Lazaruses among you. Reach out. Bring the love of Christ. Talk to the outcasts. The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. He cares about the poor and broken ones.

How far is the east from the west? God forgave you the first time you confessed! Washed away in the blood of Jesus! He knows our frame, remembers that we are dust. From everlasting to everlasting, He loves those who reverence Him. Submit your life to God. Let God be God!

Bless the Lord, oh my soul! (Invites us to thank God, in prayer.)
