  • Jesus’ Suffering…Our Redemption
    Saturday, March 26th, 2016     Sherry Carter     Start the Conversation

    sadwallpaperhd.blogspot.com I'm studying through Matthew during my quiet time and, early last week, I read the chapters on Jesus' arrest, torture, and crucifixion. I sat in despair at the horror these chapters described. I was drawn to Isaiah 53 - words written hundreds of years before Jesus' birth. Jesus knew the agony that faced Him and yet He came. Despised Rejected Esteemed not Stricken by God Afflicted Pierced Crushed Oppressed God's judgement poured out on… Read More

  • 5 Lessons from Gideon

    Gideon hid in a hole when times got rough. Jonah tried to run away from God rather than obey Him. I hate to say it but I totally identify with these two men in Scripture. I’ve hidden and I’ve run away. It didn’t work for them and it hasn’t worked for me either. The best thing about these accounts is that God pursues both Gideon and Jonah. He gives them second and third chances. God… Read More

    Note: this is adapted from my study, Storms of Life. Jesus was fully man and fully God. As a man, can you imagine the agonizing struggle of facing the cross? Could he have refused? I think that, at some point, the fully-man Jesus had to totally submit to the road to the cross. In this, Jesus modeled perfectly the path we all must walk in total surrender to God’s will, even when it is painful.… Read More

  • 5 Steps to Peace when Life Hurts
    Friday, January 29th, 2016     Sherry Carter     4 Comments

    See, I [the Lord] am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wilderness. Isaiah 43:19 This is one of my favorite verses. Look at the verbs God uses: I am doing… I am making… God is at work, even when we are in difficult times. It brings hope when I am struggling through a desert or wilderness.… Read More
