First Sunday after Christmas
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever! Psalm 111:10
Greetings in the name of Immanuel – God with us!
What exactly does it mean to practice the fear of the Lord? It means to constantly refresh our memory on God’s real presence in your life always. This wisdom and understanding keeps our memory sharp about what the Lord has done, does and will do for us; knowing, regardless of what we may suffer, that we are not alone but with Christ in order that we may also be glorified with him, and that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is yet to be revealed to us.
I look forward to seeing you.
Pastor Jaime

And now we begin Holy Week
With Palm Sunday, the Church’s Lenten journey intensifies as the Gospel writers give us much more detail of these days in Jesus’ life leading to Friday evening and a tomb in comparison to the previous three decades.
