My garden looks lovely and so does my lawn; I think I might never put my glasses back on! Side Pain At Sunday school they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs.
Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and said, Johnny what is the matter? Little Johnny responded, "I have a pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife." 4. |

Because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:19 -20
Paul the apostle said, if we have hope only in this life that we would be of all men most miserable. When we call God “Our Father” we are saying, God you are real. So He said to them, “When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Luke 11:2).
Jesus the omnipotent one would never teach us to pray to some kind of statue, illusion, or something that is not real. God is real! It’s not like Hollywood says, somebody up there likes me. He loves us, He died for us, He rose from the dead for us and He is coming back for us. Praise God!
Establishing the fact that God is real is foundational to our faith. Hebrews 11:6 records, without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. Are we truly seeking Him? God has made himself known through creation. This beautiful earth that we marvel at did not just happen. There is a master architect, that designer is God, our heavenly Father.
All of this is great, but the fact He sent Jesus to die for me and you is even greater. The God we serve is real and in spite of this world’s condition, He is still in control. Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7).
In His Love, Pastor Durden
