Michael Kinard and Aaron Harwood win on High Rock with 27.84 pounds and collect over $5,000 in winnings.
Our morning started off with our very own Curtis Cox bringing God’s word. Notes from Curtis: The Word of God was present & we need to be focused on the TRUTH!
In a world that allows people to try to identify as animals or change their sex, etc.…. when CNN, fox or whatever you listen to tells you this or that. We can’t find the truth in any of it! We can’t look to this world for the truth.
In John 14 Jesus is preparing His disciples for his arrest & death. These are words of encouragement for them & should be for us also during times of hardship & for us to keep our faith focused on the one Truth.
So, what is the truth…John 14:6 “I am the way and THE TRUTH and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.”
We don’t have to look around in the darkness/world for the truth. The Truth is Jesus Christ and The Word of God.
Hebrew 1:3 “He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature.”
Jesus is the absolute embodiment of truth.
When we stop focusing on the things of this world and start focusing on Jesus, then we find The Truth!
You see all the things of this world can’t give us what focusing on the truth can give us.
The world will leave you empty inside & desiring more & never being fulfilled.
The only way to be full, to really be content is thru the Truth that is Jesus Christ
And then & only then will get John 14:27…. “Peace, I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
So, if you’re walking in a valley, if you’re struggling to see thru the darkness or just can’t seem to get any rest…. give it to Jesus!
We blasted off 68 boats to a cool beautiful morning. High Rock always seems to show off in the spring and today was no exception. WOW did she show out.
