Message on Living in Harmony with God’s Will* (04/27/'24) -Message

Message on Living in Harmony with God’s Will Dear Friends, I want to share a profound insight rooted in our spiritual texts, particularly from Leviticus 25:23-24, which teaches us that the land is not ours to sell or own indefinitely. It belongs to God, and we are merely its stewards: "The land shall not be sold forever: for the land is mine, for ye are strangers and sojourners with me." This principle extends to all of creation, including the skies and the earth. We belong to them, not the other way around. Our role is to care for and respect these gifts, not to claim ownership. Jesus further deepens this concept through His words in the Gospels (Mark 3:33-35, Matthew 12:48-50, Luke 8:20-21, John 15:14). He challenges us to rethink our connections, asking, "Who are my mother and brothers?" He answers by defining His family as those who follow God's will. As we reflect on these teachings, let us embrace our role as caretakers and cherish our spiritual kinship with one another. Let’s commit to living harmoniously, supporting each other in our shared duty to protect and preserve the blessings bestowed upon us by God. Together, let’s nurture a world that reflects our stewardship and unity. Warm regards, Pastor Steven G. Lee (April 28, 2024)
