Do you love Jesus?

I come to you today with a simple question. Do you love Jesus?

This past Sunday we where in Rochester Indiana preaching at Sanctuary of Praise pastor by Bishop Robert Ritter. In this service my mind and heart was capture by the account of the Pastor’s missionary trip.

Bishop Ritter shared his account of the trip to the Philippians with the church that Sunday. The church that pastor preached at was not your typical church you see in America today. The church had palm tress leafs for walls, one light bulb to light the whole structure, and a tin roof. Bishop said as he began to preach the rains came and leaked through the tin roof. The native people would walk up to the 30 miles to attend the services. As Bishop was telling his account he kept asking do you love Jesus?

I wonder today do we really love Jesus. Are we willing to walk 30 miles to church? Are we willing to let our suites and dresses get wet? Are we willing to worship under a tin roof? Are we willing to worship in a hot place with no air condition? Are we willing to worship in a place with no heat?

Can we do this without complaining? So the question is. Do you love Jesus?

I pray that this little account of a church in the Philippians will spark a fire in your soul. Actions speak louder than words. Lord let our actions prove to you this day and the days to come that we love you.
