What is the “Rapture?” It is the sudden removal of the church (Believers in Christ) from earth to be with the Lord. Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 wrote, “Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And then we […]

“How To Win Over Temptation”
Have you ever been tempted to do something wrong? The temptation to do something wrong — it may be something as simple as not telling the whole truth – comes directly from our adversary, Satan. God never tempts us to do wrong. James 1:13, “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, ‘God […]
“Thoughts On Prayer”
In this meditation, I want to share three thoughts on Prayer. I am basing what I share on Luke 11. At the beginning of the chapter the disciples came and asked Him to teach them to pray and He gave them what we refer to as the Lord’s prayer. (1-4) One day Jesus was praying […]
“Love”
There are 105 verses in 1 John and love is mentioned more than 40 times. John uses seven verses to remind us of a wonderful truth – “We love God because He first loved us.” We love Him because He first loved us. We love others because He first loved us. Love starts and stops […]
“What Does it Mean to be Blessed?”
Bible Portal Staff, Jan 5, 2023 Quite possibly, the most frequently used word in the Christian’s vocabulary is blessed. “Have a blessed day,” “blessed to be a blessing,” and “God bless you” are just a few of the ways we put it to use. It’s even common among unbelievers to describe themselves as “blessed.” The Greek […]
“Our Thought Life”
Recently, I shared this meditation with the Men’s Breakfast & Bible Study group. I thought all our Jubilee family could benefit from reading it. Blessings, Pastor Leonard In Proverbs 23:7 NKJV we read, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not […]
“Truths to Remember”
Below are excerpts from Margaret Feinberg’s book “More Power to You”. May you be blessed as you read and personalize these thoughts. Jesus is the King of my life. I am who Christ says I am. I take every thought captive. I break every agreement that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. My […]
“Dealing with Pain”
Sooner or later all of us will experience pain. There are several different kinds of pain – physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual pain. It seems that pain has been a part of God’s plan for mankind, ever since the fall. Our Lord experienced pain before going to the cross. He was in the Garden of […]
“Believer’s Baptism”
I am not sure why, but I have felt like I was supposed to write a meditation on ‘Baptism.’ I would assume that most of our Jubilee family have been baptized, but maybe one or more have not been, since you received Christ. What is a believer’s baptism? It is an act of obedience whereby […]
“We All Suffer”
We all suffer in different ways — physically, financially, emotionally, relationally, spiritually, etc. How should we respond? How do we respond to these trials? James 1:2-4 gives us some guidance. “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3 For you know that when your faith is […]
