CELEBRATING ELEVEN YEARS OF MINISTRY 2015-2026
FRONT PAGE ARTICLE
Established
by David G. Rose
Not long after we were married, Sue made a sign for our front porch that read “The Roses - Established 1971.” In May 2026, we celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary. We are established indeed.
It is the plan of God to establish every Believer in the faith. The Apostle Paul wrote in Colossians 2:6-7 NKJV, “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.”
That word established means to make firm, to establish, or to make secure. We are established in the faith by Christ Jesus. He alone has the power and authority to confirm our salvation. This is done through the Holy Spirit.
How do we establish our faith in Christ? We begin by asking Jesus to be our Lord and Savior. This requires a complete confession of our sins to the Lord, and to repent of each one while agreeing to follow Christ and His Word. These are the baby steps to a fulfilling Christian life.
We must base our faith on a firm foundation. If you establish your spiritual foundation on the local church, a pastor, or ecclesiastic rites and rituals, you will not have a firm foundation. The Apostle Paul gave clear guidance in Ephesians 2:19-20 NKJV, “Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.”
The Apostle Peter gives further guidance to the mature Believer in 1 Peter 3:15 NKJV, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.”
As we establish our faith, we must study the Word of God and be able to give a reasonable answer when questioned about our faith. Of course, none of us knows all the answers, but we can ask our spiritual leaders for help and can also ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the meaning of scriptures.
In conclusion, ask the Lord to help you be established:
1. In the Faith of Christ - John 7:16-17
2. In holiness and purity - 1 Peter 1:13-19
3. In the Grace of God - Hebrews 13:9
4. In every good work - 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
Make every effort to grow into that Godly Christian that God has called you to be and to be established in the Faith.

All-day Praise!
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep
for words.
Romans 8:26 ESV

My folly
SCRIPTURE
& PRAYER
Psalm 69:1-5 ESV - To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. Of David. Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck. I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me. I am weary with my crying out; my throat is parched. My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God. More in number than the hairs of my head are those who hate me without cause; mighty are those who would destroy me, those who attack me with lies. What I did not steal must I now restore? O God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.
Prayer: Dear Lord, the scripture today reminds me that you know my sins. Though I may try to cover them, you see and expect me to confess and repent of my sinful acts. Please forgive me. In the Name of Jesus I pray.
Biblical Relationships
Understanding Biblical Relationships
Our Relationship with other Christians:
One in Work
by David G. Rose
We continue our series of articles on Biblical relationships. Basing our study in John 15, we have discussed our 3-fold relationship with Christ. Now, we focus on our three-fold relationship with other Christians. We have discussed that we should be one in Christ and one in love.
Finally, as Believers we should all be one in work. We have one Master and we have one purpose. What is that purpose? To bring forth fruit that will remain. Jesus said in John 15:16 KJV, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”
This is a powerful directive that carries with it a marvelous promise. That same verse in the New International Version (NIV) states: "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my Name the Father will give you.”
Jesus has promised to answer our prayers when we pray in His Name, and in alignment with His Word and Will. Being faithful to the Word of Christ provides many benefits. Let’s all work together!
Next week: Our Relationship with the World: Separation
Therefore, comfort each other and edify one another.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Finally....
For stay at home Christians...
We started this ministry with you in mind. Recent reports state that many Christians no longer attend a church. They have been offended, or have to work, or they cannot physically leave their home, and so they stay at home.
Our heart is to reach out to you with Bible studies, hospital visitation, prayer for the sick, serving the Lord's Supper, counsel, etc. Just call on us and we will be of ministry if possible.
There is no obligation or membership. When you need personal ministry, click here for more information >>>>

Best Mom Ever
(A Mother's Day Message)
by Sue Rose
Being the Best Mom Ever is a goal that every Godly mom should aspire to be.
To me, there are three basic principals to bring this to pass:
1. Unconditional Love - This means to give love and affection without any limitations or expectations on your child. Let them know they are loved for who they are,and whose they are. Remind them how much our Lord loves us John 3:16 and Rom.5:8. Show them and tell them of your love physically and verbally. Support them. Spend quality time with them. Read to them. Give undivided attention. Send texts. Give unexpected little gifts, and leave love notes.
2.Discipline - Proverbs 3:12 tells us that the Lord disciplines those whom He loves. Proverbs 29:15 also tells us what happens to “a child left by himself”. Read it! In order to correct our ways disciplinary action is needed, especially in children. Before disciplinary action is taken be sure the child understands why he/she is being disciplined. Remind them that you love them.
3. Teaching - There are many techniques to teaching that were given to us in Deut.6:7-9. Make learning fun! Use music. Use rhyme. Ask questions. Praise them. Teach them how to settle disagreements. Teach them to have respect for others and their things. Teach them to be polite. Teach them the importance of the Bible through its stories.
And remember to repeat, repeat, repeat!
Being The Best Mom Ever means that you are building your next generation of best friends that have the same values, and love you and our Lord because of your teaching. Is it always easy, no, but it is definitely worth the hard work.
THEN you become a grandmother and one day you may even be called the Best Grama Ever” by one of them.
It happened to me!
Steps to
Finding
New Life
in Christ
If you desire to make Christ the Lord over your life, here are six important steps to take right now:
1. Admit that you have sinned against God- Romans 3:23
2. Understand that Jesus died for your sins and offers cleansing and salvation - Romans 5:8
3. Remember that if you continue to ignore the call of Christ, you will spend eternity separated from God - Romans 6:23
4. Place your faith in Christ. He will save you and provide a life of blessing - Romans 8:1
5. Confess your sins to Christ and repent for your works against God - Romans 10:9-10
6. Invite Jesus to be the Lord and Master of your life - Romans 10:13
Pray this prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that only you can forgive sins. I ask you to come into my heart, forgive my sins, and be the ruler of my life. Thank you for saving me from my sins. Thank you for the love that you show me everyday. I now know that eternal life is a gift given from you. I pray and ask that you be the Lord of my life, lead me, guide me and
direct my path that I may walk each and every day with you. In the wonderful name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
