We welcome you in Jesus’ name. This is a new day to praise and worship the Lord. Let us do so faithfully and joyfully.
Once again, ISIS has organized and filmed the slaughtering of African Christians who refused to deny their faith. This time, it was about 28 men from Ethiopia who professed Christianity. They were targeted by the Libya affiliate of the self-proclaimed Islamic State. In February, the killing of 21 Egyptian Christians drew widespread horror and fears of future massacres. However, this also led to the largest Bible outreach ever in Egypt.
Just over two weeks ago a 30-minute propaganda video was released. The video of the executions was entitled “Until There Came to Them Clear Evidence”. It switches between a scene on a beach in eastern Libya, where about 15 men in orange boiler suits are beheaded by masked militants, and a scene in a desert area in southern Libya, where similarly dressed members of the ISIS affiliate execute a similar number of men in black boiler suits by shooting them in the head. A subtitle refers to both groups of victims as “worshippers of the cross belonging to the hostile Ethiopian church.” The video also includes scenes depicting the destruction of churches in Syria and Iraq. It condemns the doctrine of the Trinity as a form of apostasy.
As believers, we must not be shocked and surprised at these happenings. Jesus said, “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and they shall kill you…” (Mt. 24:9). This is no longer a prophecy awaiting fulfillment. It is now being fulfilled.

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah’s Ark..
1.Don’t miss the boat.
2.Remember that we are all in the same boat.
3.Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark.
4.Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
5.Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
6.Build your future on high ground.
7.For safety sake, travel in pairs.
8.Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
9.When you’re stressed, float a while.
10.Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
11.No matter the storm, when you are with God, there’s always a rainbow waiting…
