A Rose Among The Thorns

Good morning and Happy Friday. As we come to the end of this month at times we as a people of God have a tendency to get as it seems the Word of God only resonates inside of us. We get it that God blesses us daily. We know that the Holy Spirit guides us daily. We know that Christ is our Redeemer. But to get others to listen seems as tough as ever with the advent of technology. But please understand that you are seen as you are A Rose Among The Thorns.

We live in a age where everything but the Word of God seems be important. Most times we are looking at are smart phones to get the updates we need. If not that we are in a hurry to get to our jobs

and do not have time for any other things. Lastly we seem to have little interest in the church of today. But there are those who have held steadfast and continue to attempt to spread the gospel of Christ. They are A Rose Among The Thorns.

As we come into the Word of God for this teaching of A Rose Among The Thorns I being in Mark 4:18. In this verse it speaks of being that sown among the thorns meaning that you hear what God is

telling no matter if there are those around you may ridicule you. You know that in doing so that your reward is greater here on earth. A Rose Among The Thorns.

As we continue with this teaching of A Rose Among The Thorns I go to Mark 4:19. In this verse it speaks of how being sown among the thorns we are not going to be part of the deceitful ways of the

world> How the thorns of this world attempts to choke the Word of God and make it and us unfruitful. We know better than that as we are A Rose Among The Thorns,.

As we come to the end of the Biblical portion of this teaching of A Rose Among The Thorns I go to Mark 4:20. In this verse it speaks of how we are the ones who are sown on good ground, who accepts

the Word of God and takes it and spreads the gospel of Christ to as many as the can. This is what you are about when you know Christ as your Savior. A Rose Among The Thorns.

As we conclude this teaching of A Rose Among The Thorns  please understand that you are as the people of God are sown in good ground. You know that in him that your cup will overflow in so many ways. Your actions will bring people to the Body of Christ as your light shines among the crowd. We are the spreaders of the good news. And despite those in the world who want to bend the Word of God for their purposes or who attempts to disregard the gospel we stand out as we are A Rose Among The Thorns. I give God all the Glory and honor. Please read a teaching by the Youth Pastor Sabrina Williams of Valley Kingdom Ministries International called Keeping Your Spirit Hot For God During The Summer.
