The Samaritan Sack Ministry

Hebrews 5:9

9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Salvation is the reason you can smile in the morning and rest in the evening.God loves you, and you belong to him .

Many think freedom consists in doing anything they want.But this path leads to a slavish addiction to sensual gratification.
Titus 3:3
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

When we follow God's truth, we will live God's way.

2 Timothy 2:19

19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

2Thessalonians 3:6-10

Warning Against Idleness

6 But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, (A)that you withdraw (B)from every brother who walks (C)disorderly and not according to the tradition which [a]he received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you; 8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread [b]free of charge, but worked with (D)labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, 9 not because we do not have (E)authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.

10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

They worked hard buying what they needed rather than becoming a burden to any of the believers.The rule was,The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.

Thessalonians 4:15-18

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

As you grow in your Christan faith, let God's word be your guide not the opinions of other people. If you keep listening to God you will be changing all the time. Your change may not go as fast as you like , but your life will change significantly if you trust in God to change you.
Your salvation does not depend on your own discipline and rule keeping, but the power of Christ's Death and Resurrection. You can enjoy a new life in Christ because you have joined him in his Death and Resurrection .

It is not what we know that brings salvation, but whom we know
Colossians 1: 4-5
4. Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

5. For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

Philippians 2:3

King James Version

3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Selfish ambition can ruin a church, but genuine humility can build it.

Happiness depends on happenings, but joy depends on Christ.

Philippians 4:4

4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

The ship is chosen by God to be his very own vessel. He is the captain of this ship. All who desire to be a part of his elect ship must do so by living in faith in Christ. Will you come on board his ship? When you are on the ship, in the company, with the ships captain, you are among the elect . God invites you today to come aboard the elect ship. Will you come aboard, and place your faith in Him today

Today was a Fall in love with Jesus Day, at the Farm, with these cuties. We all had so much fun, as you can see from their smiling faces. We are thankful to God, and each parent, whom allows us to be a part of their lives. We love them like they are all our own.

Royal Rangers & Impact Girls had a great start to the new year, Filled with fun and food. They had a record attendance of 68, 25 of which God blessed us to bring in two vans. God is doing BIG things, excited to be a part of the move.

Luke 7:22

22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached

For the poor are humble and afflicted within the world. Turn to God in great need and seek his help. They are faithful to God and look forward to God's redemption from sin and suffering, hunger, and hatred that are in the world. They do not seek wealth and life in earthly things .

We are so thankful for the group of kids we had Sunday. We enjoyed spending extra time with them, on this beautiful day. There have been 40+ kids, through Samaritan Sack Ministries, who have gotten to hear about Jesus, and who have gotten to be a part of the Middletown bus route through ALT. We are honored to be His hands and feet, not only in our words, but our actions.

Unless we realize the truth, we will continue to look for physical solutions to solve spiritual problems, manifesting themselves in our physical lives. If all you see is what you see , you will never see all that there is to be seen.

For what ever controls are mind controls are actions

Let the truth of Christ dwell in your heart, deepen your faith in him, and strengthen your commitment to follow him no matter what the cost.

Jeremiah 31:33

33. But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

For Today this covenant is still here. We have the wonderful opportunity to make a fresh start and establish a permanent, personal realtionship with God .

God demands the greatest measure of faithfulness to his commands from those who are called to proclaim his word.

We started off our day with peanut butter & Jesus. It was amazing to see a young man even telling other kids and parents about our church and how great it is. Another fun filled day, full of Jesus, pizza and fun at the park..Kevin and I are so thankful for each parent that entrust us with their children, and for each of their children, whom have become a part of our family. Most of all, we thank Jesus for the opportunity to serve.

We must head the words of Jesus and labor with him for the salvation of the world.

Matthew 9:37-38

37. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

38. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

The spirit living in you is a source of living water. As the water flows through you, it brings eternal life to others.

God always finishes what He starts. He began a good work in you and He will complete it.

Never mind what you've done, it's time to come Home!

It is hard to believe we are coming up on 1 year that we started this ministry. We have built relationships with these kids and their families, that will last a lifetime. We are so thankful for the opportunity God has given us to serve others, and show them the love of Jesus.

Outward observance without an inner desire to serve God is hypocritical religion, and is severely condemned by our Lord.

Luke 21:1-4

And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in hither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: for all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

Sometimes God does not come to you in a whirlwind, or earthquake, or Fire...But in a small voice!

1Kings19:11-13

And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake:

And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

The church should be a reflection of the person of Jesus. When we practice discrimination, we do more than harm our witness. We also wound the heart of the Father:

"The King will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"

Matthew 25:40

The kids are having alot of fun at "Kid's Crusade" at ALT West.

We are having so much fun at ALT West's, "Kids Crusade". We love these kiddos so much, and are thankful for not only each and every one of them, but their parents also.

Don't use people to build your ministry, use your ministry to build people!
