GOD AT WORK (EPH 1:13-14)

God at work, His universe, His laws
Unchangeable, immutable, before creation
The Father chose you, Christ died for you
Lavishing grace upon grace, the Holy Spirit moves upon you
But you must choose, you must receive, you must repent

You have heard the truth, not philosophy, not attitude
Jesus came into this world, to show His love, to live a perfect life
Jesus is God’s truth, He died on the cross to pay your price for sin
The power of God, raised Him from the dead, His love declared for eternity
His love gives you a new heart, a new life, eternally adopted into the Father’s household

You were a murderer at heart, everyone is dead in their trespasses and sin
No one can solve their sin problem, we need more than a little cleaning up
We need Jesus, His free gift of eternal life provides forgiveness and life
Now in Christ we are alive, evil can no longer destroy us, sin bondage broken
Jesus pardons us, He gives us liberty and freedom, salvation in Him

Do you believe? Belief in Christ is the requirement
You must believe for yourself, I cannot do it for you
Belief changes you, it conforms you to God’s law, His reality
Jesus is looking for you, He is seeking you to give you life and light for living
What will you do? Have you believed? When you believe you are immediately in God’s family

God declares we belong to Him by Word-the Holy Spirit brings this Word to life
We were bought with a price, that price was Jesus and His sacrifice
The Holy Spirit is the witness of God’s ownership – He seals our relationship in Christ
Inheritance guaranteed, not based on us, God will not disown us
Jesus blood and sacrifice, saves a wretch like me, like us

Judge Joe Ned Pigott (11/3/15) –AN UNASSUMING SERVANT

Judge is what I always called him

He treated me like a friend, he treated everyone like a friend

Respect, kindness and gentleness identifiable traits

 

A young warrior, significant exploits that you seldom heard about

His life was focused on giving back, helping others, serving

A life that was based on his love for Jesus, his submission to his Lord and Savior

 

Family was important, each one valued and esteemed

Joe taught them to follow the Lord, to love each other

To build value into their lives and give back to their community

 

A man of adventure but not boasting

A brave man, charming and compassionate

A courageous warrior who loved the Lord Jesus and the people around him

 

Joe was a conscientious communicator, generous and hard-working

Honesty was his motto, he was merciful and fair-minded

A judge that always knew that Jesus was the real judge

 

Faithful and fearless

Friendly and trustworthy

Reliable and optimistic

 

He served Jesus

He served his family

He served his community

 

Joe was decisive and determined to do the right thing

A dynamic, enthusiastic servant

He followed Jesus, he did what he could, he loved people

 

Now Joe is with Jesus

His children mentored and prepared

A great friend, a good father, he is deeply missed and we will see him again

MARY WHEELER MESSER GOD’S PARTNER IN MINISTRY AND PRAYER

Wife, mother, grandmother

Servant, minister, life scholar

Learning, serving, faithful

Never away from Jesus, every step she took praised Him

Always helping, listening, caring

 

Mary’s heart was dedicated to the Lord

Crystal clear in her life journey – she would follow the Lord

A long obedience to the Father as a minister and a minister’s wife

She knew what was required of her

No complaining, she did it and did it every single day

 

Mary’s commitment included every aspect of her life

She lived what she believed

She cared for others as Jesus cared for her

Wisdom, mercy, grace and a willingness to change

Jesus was her guide, God was her partner

 

Mary spent her life devoted to talking to the Lord

Prayer was as much a part of her life as breathing

She cultivated this habit of prayer

When life happened Mary was praying

Praying that God’s will be done, that Jesus be glorified

 

What a life

Her family, her ministry, her work

Given to the Lord, dedicated to His honor

Mary impacted everyone she knew-this was her life

She knew where she was going – proclaiming Christ to her last breath

HIM – JOHN F. GIBSON, JR

HIM – JOHN F. GIBSON, JR.

John loved people

His first words – “How can I help?”

He was concerned about your needs

Always quick to pray for a needy student, friend or fellow faculty member

He would do his share of the work and yours too

John knew how to fix mechanical equipment and he fixed cars

For those who could pay, for those who couldn’t pay

Many hundreds of Seminary students had a car because John fixed it

 

John loved his family, deeply, thoroughly and consistently

They talked about stuff and things – he wanted them to have the best

He strived for them to be the best and they all know Jesus

John was quick to remind you that your name was carved in God’s hands

That Jesus didn’t have an eraser – Christ took us, kept us and walked with us

I can fix that John would say and would give beyond giving to you and for you

He was your friend without airs, no judging, always there

John was a special person that just cared for others like he cared for his family

 

A friend, a confessor, a good listener

His humility legendary, never self-serving

A hard worker, you came first with John

John loved the Lord, he shared Jesus

Loved by his students

An indefatigable and tireless worker

John didn’t see himself as a great leader – he was

He didn’t seek accolades – he has them in the halls of heaven

 

John was our friend

He cared for us

He loved us as best he could

Best regards to Jesus and your Father – We already miss you brother

FUNNY

Funny how quickly things change
Laughing to sorrow
Gain to loss
Joy to heartache
Everything can change
Except our salvation

Christ died that we might have life
A grace gift – From God to you
Based upon the work Christ did
Waiting upon your acceptance
Once we are in His family
Nothing can separate us from His love
Nothing, nothing, nothing

Jesus is alive-seated at the Father’s right hand
Interceding for us
Praying for us-He is Lord
He knows what we need
He is working for our best good
He knows us intimately
We will be with Him now and forever
