The scripture made it clear to us that, the lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breath into his nostrils the breath of life. We have heard many more about Christ and God, but have we seen him before? Many religious leaders have said more about him but have we seen him before?

Although Almighty God has not been seen by anyone in the olden days, our forefathers use what we called faith to conquer the deeds of the devil. Faith is believing in something that you have not seen before and having the patience that you will reach there or have it.

Beloved, as our fathers got faith in everything, are we also having some, or we are imitating the scribes and the Pharisees? Brethren do you want us to receive some of the shame of the Pharisees and the scribes who pretend in everything?

Jesus taught us in Matthew 3 Matthew 3scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moss's seats, so practice and observed whatever they tell you, but not what they do, for they preach, but do not practice. They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders but they will not move the with their fingers.

They do all their deeds to be seen by men, for they make phylacteries broad and their fringes long, and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues, and solutions in the marketplaces.

They shut the kingdom of heaven against men, but they do not enter by themselves, nor allow those who would enter
to go in. They traverse sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.

They say, if anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath. Which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred?

Beloved, as we have accepted to follow Christ let us bear in mind that, the way is full of challenges but if we strive to the end, I believed we would be saved from the hands of the devil.

+As Jesus was giving advice to his disciples, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign when these things are all to be accomplished?

Jesus began to say to them, take heed that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name, saying, I am he, and they will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed, this must take place, but the end is not yet.

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, there will be famines, this is but the beginning of the birth pangs.

Take heed to yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them.

The gospel must first be preached to all nations. And when they bring you to trial and deliver you up,
do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given to you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father bus child and children will rise against parent and have them put to death, and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

Beloved, let all have faith in the lord and I believe the kingdom will be our portion. May the good lord bless us in everything. Thanks for having a special time with us.
