Greetings from Pastor James-

     Growing up my family could not afford the best things. My father was a good provider. We had what we needed but according to worldly standards, it was not the best.

     I did not have name brand name clothes or shoes. Matter of fact having name brand clothes or shoes did not ever cross my mind. We had all we needed. I did feel guilt and shame when I did wrong.  

     I look around at the world today. I see young people insisting they should have the best. The most popular name brand items. These include I-phones, jackets, shoes, video games and so on and so on. Even when one has lots of money, the best name brand items, and don’t have Jesus in their hearts are lacking the most important, the very best.  

     The best in our lives is the one that takes away our guilt and shame. 

     There is an emptiness in our lives that only God can fill. Reach out to the one that takes away the sins of the world. Reach out to God and receive the best.

     Read John 1:29-42.

     John calls Jesus the Lamb of God and thus signifies Jesus' mission as the One that takes away the sins of the world. Jesus the perfect Lamb of God redeems us from our sins. God provided His Son as the perfect Lamb of God to bear the sins of us all. It was and is the most perfect gift. It is the gift of life. It is the best, freely given to us by God.

     The world will leave you wanting. Jesus will baptize with the Holy Spirit; He will fill your cup and make you whole. He will give you, all of us, peace that passes all understanding in the midst of our pain. He will take away the guilt and shame. Behold the Lamb and He will turn your hurts into halos. Why settle for less when God offers you the best.

    Come and worship at Living Water Church. Learn of the “Lamb of God.” The perfect Lamb of God is the best. Give God your best. He will give you His Love, Mercy, Grace. And as John the Baptist you will witness to the world, “Behold the Lamb God who took away my sin.” 

Blessings,

Pastor James Boyette
