Scripture is God breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry the good news of Jesus with us wherever we go.
Throughout this reading plan, we have been committing Luke 4:18–19 to memory. This week add verse 19 to round out our memorization.
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me
to proclaim release to the captives
and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set free the oppressed,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
—Luke 4:18–19

Happy Sunday sweeties! Loved studying Luke with y’all! Just got done writing in the study guide. One of my favorite days and and verse was 1 Timothy 6:18-19. 18. Instruct them to do what is good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and willing to share, 19. storing up treasures for themselves as a good foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of what is truly LIFE!
This verse reminded me a couple (I may have mentioned this earlier) who at the time back in the late 90’s early 2000’s were the New & Young Married mentors. They were a wealthy couple (Farmers), yet humble, loving, caring, willing to share, and VERY wise! Both of them! She, the wife gave me a beautiful baby shower for Caleb who is now twenty-five yeas old! This couple truly walked the walk! I will forever remember them! They were VERY sad to find out what happened to me, but grateful that my kids and I are safe. God is SO good!
My car is still in the shop. I will walk to church today since it’s only about 2 miles and its a gorgeous day. A tad cold, but I will be fine. AND it’s a special day as we will be celebrating a wedding. I love this couple and SO happy for them!
I LOVE that verse, it says so much! Be RICH in good works…generous and sharing (what we have and know!!) Oh I love this (alone!)..but yet…it is good for when we get to heaven!! What we do here matters in eternity!
You walked…and looked cute!
Amen
Amen. Thank you Lord. May we be a people that seek you, setve you and boldly proclaim the Good News that bring a message of hope, freedom, forgiveness and favor. Amen
Blessings on your Sunday SRT sisters.❤️
I was BOLDLY PROCLAIMING Jesus today..telling of His Goodness and Glory!! It feels so good! :)
Amen!
John 8:36
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” Amen!
Amen ❤️
How fitting that I finished Luke and Titus studies in the same week! Both so powerful!
Our Sunday School lesson is from Romans 12-SACRIFICE. Focus on this memory verse is timely with that in mind.

Have a blessed day of worship in community SHES! ❤

Love, hugs, and prayers! ❤

THANKS AGAIN, SRT, for this community and for all the work of producing our reading schedules and devos! God bless you each and every one! ❤❤❤
I love this passage!
Jesus reads this passage in a Tabernacle in his home town! All eyes and ears upon him. Then he closes it and sits down! With silence, he than says “This is fulfilled today with me!” What? What did you say Jesus? Come again?!
He claims himself as the Messiah! As you could expect..if you went back to your family church after graduating and going off to college and came back and said Hey Gang…I am actually the Messiah! Ha. Sure.
And they were dismayed, enough to take him to a cliff to throw him off! Yet, he “walks right through them and away!.”
But looking at the meaning of this passage and what it GIVES us!! Freedom! One word! Freedom from whatsoevereth binds us!! I think that’s why I love jail ministry. I get to see more vividly those held captive by trauma, addiction, shame, abuse, betrayal, abandonment…and on and on. (which is all of us by the way) but maybe not as evident. But they have felt it and got caught up in the cycle of whatever it is they used to fill the hole. Usually drinking and drugs, stealing, or other addictions. They try to bandage their hurt. As we do. Ours is more subtle as reveals itself in busyness, scrolling, shopping, serving, ect. But to be able to GIVE the answer for every problem IS priceless. Jesus is the answer for every seeking heart. For every hurting heart. The balm to our soul!! It is EVERY believer’s (Christ-follower) responsibility to GO and preach, advocate, love, teach, reveal, diceipher to those without him! Those hurting without knowing the whys. We are all broken from sin. BUT GOD…sent the Healer and Savior!!
I have been addicted to watching on youtube a show, or app, or whatever you would say, a station, called Delafe. And it is just all testimonies of how someone came to know Jesus and SET FREE!!! I love their pasts, all so different, but all the lacking of Jesus and the consequences. We all have such stories that need sharing to someone!! Do you know God will set up perfect encounters for you to share your own walk that you got through that they are now walking throught!! Happens almost every week with me at Altar call! Someone that I can encourage and pray for because I UNDERSTAND perfectly!
I urge everyone to write their stories and testimonies down in journals! Someone needs to know your story! Are you thinking “I could write scores of stories!” YES!? Then do!! What a gift you leave for your children and grands! We don’t tell our stories as often today because we all have our phones in front of us occupied. Back before, you would do chores together and talk! TALK! Ha! yep! I miss the days!
On another note, I have an exciting meeting today! One of our butterflies’ mother wanted to come to our church! She is coming today! She came a couple of weeks ago, but I didn’t meet with her b/c I didn’t want to jeopardize my position. But I feel it is good to meet with her and come beside her in a time she probably feels alone and so burdened with sadness. It has been over a year separated from her grandkids. And the unknown situation her daughter of what shall come. Please pray she will be encouraged by our service today and then our meeting each other! (she has heard all about us from her daughter for so long!!) She is catholic, so our church might be a little crazy for her! lol. (during the praise and worship!)
Love and hugs to all of you soul sisters and friends!! Does Advent start tomorrow? Crazy to think it’s that time again!
Prayers for your meeting (that this mom will return!) and that she will find strength and encouragement and recognize the TRUE SOURCE! ❤❤❤
Praying, Rhonda.
And Advent starts Nov 29
Amen!!
Amen! May God’s blessings on each of you as you join with the body to worship the Anointed One today.

Happy Sunday She’s! ❤️
Hoping yesterday went good!? I’m sure the first time might have been “slow” but I love the idea and know it will prove to be a tradition!!
Curious about yesterday, too!
Prayers for you and Jeff! ❤
Amen
The year of Jubilee – Leviticus 25:10 “So you must consecrate the fiftieth year, and you must proclaim a release in the land for all its inhabitants. That year will be your jubilee; each one of you must return to his property and each one of you must return to his clan.”
.
In the Lord’s jubilee, we are returned to His family, and we are released from the debt we owe. Hallelujah!
.
May you celebrate your freedom in church today with God’s people!
I read a book callef The Year of Jubilee by Cindy Morgan so now
I think of this verse when I read “the year of the LORD’s favor”. Thanks for sharing it and the reflection! ❤
We proclaim : this is the year of the Lord’s favor!
Yes!! I am so glad we should have the jubilee ALL the time!! We have his favor to be freed from the grip of slavery, blindness, defness, addiction…!!! Any day, anytime!! Whoo Hooo!! Hallelujah!! Gory!!
