2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV)The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Webster’s defines partiality as, “an unfair bias in favor of one thing or person compared with another,” or as, “favoritism.” As you look around today, that’s a lot of what we see: people playing favorites which means some are looked upon favorably, while others are passed up for no good reasons.
When it comes to salvation, God shows no partiality. God has made it possible through His Son Jesus for anyone to be saved. Your background doesn’t matter. The color of your skin doesn’t matter. How much money you have doesn’t matter. All that matters is that a person hears the gospel, repents of their sins, and believes in Jesus!
Pray this week that God removes any partiality in your heart toward other people. It’s a great hindrance to the work of His Spirit in your life. I believe that God hears that prayer and will answer it in your life!
By Grace,
Pastor Ed

My family and I just wanted you and the church to know what a blessing the Meals Ministry was to our family recently. My wife is a stay-at-home mom and she had surgery a few weeks ago and was extremely limited on what she could do in a day and cooking for our family was one of them. She required a lot of help, as well as with our two young kids, so making meals everyday was going to be an extra struggle for sure. Michelle Landry actually brought up the idea to us before the surgery and we were glad she did because it was wonderful not having to worry about meals most of the time. It allowed us to have a little bit more quality time as a family than if we were to struggle fixing something ourselves. It was definitely an honor and very comforting seeing God's love for our family through this ministry and I pray that He continues to bless all of the wonderful families involved who help provide us a meal along with the church as well. I pray our family will be able to do the same, sharing and showing Jesus' great love to all.
