O the Deep Deep Love
No Matter What Happens Around You
Remember You Can Trust in
"The Deep Deep Love of Jesus"
Psalm 130
Psalm 130
New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 130
A song of ascents. 1 Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD;2 Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.
3 If you, LORD, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
5 I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
6 I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Israel, put your hope in the LORD,
for with the LORD is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.

Isaiah 9:6
New King James Version (NKJV)
6 For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;

Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Psalm 129
Psalm 129
New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 129
A song of ascents. 1 “They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,”let Israel say;
2 “they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
but they have not gained the victory over me.
3 Plowmen have plowed my back
and made their furrows long.
4 But the LORD is righteous;
he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”
5 May all who hate Zion
be turned back in shame.
6 May they be like grass on the roof,
which withers before it can grow;
7 a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,
nor one who gathers fill his arms.
8 May those who pass by not say to them,
“The blessing of the LORD be on you;
we bless you in the name of the LORD.”

within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
4 Yes, this will be the blessing
for the man who fears the LORD.
5 May the LORD bless you from Zion;
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
6 May you live to see your children’s children—
peace be on Israel.

Psalm 127
Psalm 127
New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 127
A song of ascents. Of Solomon. 1 Unless the LORD builds the house,the builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to[a] those he loves.
3 Children are a heritage from the LORD,
offspring a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their opponents in court.

A note from our Friend Brian Johnson
From: Johnston, Brian
Subject: FW: The Friday Message
Subject: FW: The Friday Message
keeping company with people who deny the resurrection, who try to redefine Jesus Christ, who try to deny the deity of Jesus Christ is dangerous.....there is a balance we must juggle between telling people about Christ, and allowing ourselves to be corrupted by their influence......we cannot allow our relationships with non-believers to cause our faith to wavier........we must stay in the word EVERYDAY to remain strong....remember God's word......1 John 4:15....1 John 2:23.....Matt 10:32..... Luke 12:8....Romans 14:11....... Philippians 2:9-11.....this how we stay strong and this is how we live forever.

3 The LORD has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.
4 Restore our fortunes,[c] LORD,

Psalm 125
New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 125
A song of ascents. 1 Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the LORD surrounds his people

over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use
their hands to do evil.
4 LORD, do good to those who are good,
to those who are upright in heart.
5 But those who turn to crooked ways
the LORD will banish with the evildoers.
Peace be on Israel.

New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 124
A song of ascents. Of David. 1 If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel say—
2 if the LORD had not been on our side
when people attacked us,
3 they would have swallowed us alive
when their anger flared against us;
4 the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters
would have swept us away.
6 Praise be to the LORD,
who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird
from the fowler’s snare;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

of ridicule from the arrogant,

to praise the name of the LORD
according to the statute given to Israel.
5 There stand the thrones for judgment,
the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you be secure.

and from deceitful tongues.
3 What will he do to you,
and what more besides,
you deceitful tongue?
4 He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,
with burning coals of the broom bush.
5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,
that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6 Too long have I lived
among those who hate peace.
7 I am for peace;
but when I speak, they are for war.
